My Website is no longer operational- Update of WordPress required

    Hi everyone,

    I am using this forum to hopefully find a solution for the technical issue I am experiencing on my Website.

    The Website MENELAS is available on http://www.menelas.org but is currently no longer operational because the programming language used to develop it on WordPress is very outdated.

    In 2017, the previous manager of this Website did not follow the recommended instructions to automatically update the software into WordPress 4.1.20 and following versions. The issue is that the Website is now showing important warning messages due to programming errors which were most likely generated because the Website was not updated (see below)

    ‘Warning: Illegal string offset ‘output_key’ in /home/menelaso/public_html/wp-includes/nav-menu.php on line 604′

    This error message is displayed everywhere on the Website and the interface platform to make the necessary modifications as admin is no longer accessible.

    ‘Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/menelaso/public_html/wp-content/plugins/revslider/inc_php/framework/base_admin.class.php:73 Stack trace: #0 /home/menelaso/public_html/wp-content/plugins/revslider/revslider_admin.php(237): UniteBaseAdminClassRev::addMetaBox(‘Revolution Slid…’, Object(UniteSettingsAdvancedRev), Array, NULL) #1 /home/menelaso/public_html/wp-content/plugins/revslider/revslider_admin.php(68): RevSliderAdmin->addSliderMetaBox() #2 /home/menelaso/public_html/wp-content/plugins/revslider/revslider_admin.php(40): RevSliderAdmin->init() #3 /home/menelaso/public_html/wp-content/plugins/revslider/revslider.php(147): RevSliderAdmin->__construct(‘/home/menelaso/…’) #4 /home/menelaso/public_html/wp-settings.php(215): include_once(‘/home/menelaso/…’) #5 /home/menelaso/public_html/wp-config.php(96): require_once(‘/home/menelaso/…’) #6 /home/menelaso/public_html/wp-load.php(29): require_once(‘/home/menelaso/…’) #7 /home/menelaso/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php(31): requi in /home/menelaso/public_html/wp-content/plugins/revslider/inc_php/framework/base_admin.class.php on line 73′

    Since this Website needs some important updates of its content, I would be very grateful if someone could advise me or assist me to hopefully solve the technical issue.

    Thank you in advance for your help

    Hello @rempec,

    I am afraid you are in the wrong forum for your query.

    It is likely you are using the open source WordPress software. Getting to https://wordpress.org/support will help you find both the support and documentation for the version of WordPress you are using. Alternatively, you can take this question directly over to the WordPress.org support forums:

    https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    These forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only. Since we do not have access to self-hosted WordPress.org sites, the WordPress.com forums (where you are posting now) will be unable to provide any direct assistance to your issue.

    WordPress.com (where you are now ) and WordPress are separate entities with different documentation and support forums. You can learn more about that in the following support guide:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    Hope you find the help you need in the WordPress.org forums. All the best.
