 * Help! I’ve been getting this error message on the site and the site randomly 
   stops loading:
 * WP_Scripts::localize was called incorrectly. The $l10n parameter must be an array.
   To pass arbitrary data to scripts, use the wp_add_inline_script() function instead.
   Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added
   in version 5.7.0.) in /home/customer/www/prhospice.org/public_html/wp-includes/
   functions.php on line 5535
 * I’m hosted on Siteground. I added cloudflare because I thought it would help 
   by using “always up” function. still not helping. I see similar error messages
   with this theme have cropped up recently but not exactly the same as the above.
   Any help much appreciated – this is driving me bonkers!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-wp_scriptslocalize-was-called-incorrectly%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

   testing with 2021 theme:
