  Hi there,

  From the error messaging you have provided I assume that the issue is linked with the website bohlokoaconsulting.co.za , a self hosted website with an WordPress.org source.

  For this one I would advice you to go into the wp-admin of your website and update the WordPress installation.

  Here is an article on how to update your WordPress.org installation:

  In this forum we can only help with WordPress.com sites so I recommend posting to the WordPress.org support forums for advice.

  Thanks
  Stefan
