    Hi today my wordpress based website got an automatic update to version 4.1.2 and with that problems started. At first I couldn’t post anything (the page was refreshed but no action was made) then it began showing an error on line 1484 from formatting.php. I don’t see anything unusual there and I tried to turn off all the plugins. Nothing helped. Now I can not update my website so if someone knows a solution please advice.

    Full error:
    Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in: ….wp-includes/formatting.php on line 1484

    Try downloading WordPress again and delete then replace your copies of everything except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete the original files before replacing them.

    If that doesn’t work, try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
