 * Hello,
 * I am trying to help my friend with her website ([http://www.firststeptoday.com/](http://www.firststeptoday.com/))
   and there is an error message that is showing up on the website:
    Warning: Creating
   default object from empty value in /home/fstoday/firststeptoday.com/wp-content/
   themes/boldnews/functions/admin-hooks.php on line 160
 * My friend doesn’t want to change the theme and the theme creators are not able
   to provide support because the theme has been discontinued.
 * I would really appreciate it if anyone could tell me how to fix this.
 * Thank you,
    Amy

 * See to it that **WP_DEBUG** is **false** in `wp-config.php`

 * For security reason it’s not a good idea to keep using old theme. The reason 
   your friend doesn’t want to change theme might be the impression that changing
   theme will lose the old design. This is not true, we can make new theme look 
   alike previously used theme. Your site has only 5 pages and it has simplistic
   2 columns layout that is easy to make a child theme out of WP’s TwentySixteen
   theme.
