 * I deactivated the plugin because I was blocked from accessing wp-admin or any
   dashboard functions after the attempted update. Still can’t get to wp-admin. 
   Please Help. Thank you.

 * sorry – using Lilaea Media v2 Child Theme Configurator

 * This has nothing to do with Child Theme Configurator.
 * A function is being defined twice in during the program execution, possibly inside
   another theme or plugin.
 * If you can access your files via FTP, navigate to the themes folder and _**rename
   each of the themes**_ except for twenty-sixteen ( adding an underscore works 
   well. ) This will force WordPress to revert to the default theme and you should
   get your access back.
 * Once you have restored WordPress, use a text search to locate where the post_form_autocomplete_off()
   function is being called. More than likely it is in a theme’s functions.php or
   included file.

 * Thank you for replying, Lilaea. I will attempt to follow your instructions, but
   it’s the update to the CTC that won’t install. The theme I am using is Nirvana
   by Cryout Serious Theme. At least the non-admin site still works, and as a non-
   pro, I hesitate to make changes that could result in further breaks.

 * Hi, Guys,
    I’ve moved to a new theme. I am the vote for “broken” and i’d like
   to remove it but neither do i want to say that the configuration plugin is compatible
   because i’m not using it anymore. Am I able to remove my vote?

 * You cannot change your vote, but the stats will reset as soon as a new version
   is released.
