# Error in Appearance>Widgets

 * I inherited a WordPress – it’s two versions behind in updating and has had some“
   custom” coding installed. Upon exploring the administration/dashboard, I checked
   into the Appearance>Widgets and found an error. I’m assuming some kind of . :;
   is missing within the php (php=I’m not very savvy at fixing by hand coding). 
   My question for anyone who knows of such things or may be has seen this error
   before – –
    Can it be fixed, if so how?
 * Can I do the update (automatically through Godaddy) and not have the whole website
   be destabilized by this error. We’re two versions behind and the owner would 
   like it updated.
 * Here is an uploaded screen shot of the error

   Thanks in advance for your time, input and expertise… Beth Cornell
