 * Here are the last 3 lines (#L650 to #L652) in function.php of the lastest version
   
   [https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/forever/1.2.3/functions.php](https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/forever/1.2.3/functions.php)
 * Those 3 lines should be removed.
 * If you know how to edit file on the server, just delete those 3 lines.

 * Thank you paulwpxp for responding! Unfortunately, I am completely new to this{
   and feeling really dumb}….I’m not sure how to edit the file on the server. Details
   for dummies?

 * Since you’ve never edited file online before, it’s better to not do it to the
   live site. Try asking your web host support, just ask them to help delete those
   3 lines.
 * I suppose the warning messages only happens in the admin dashboard and not on
   the front. So we can just wait for the next update that have this fixed.

 * Yes, the error only appears to show up in the admin dashboard, the front of the
   website looks fine. Thanks for your suggestions!

 * Just wondering….I’ve been thinking about changing the theme lately anyway. Would
   there be any issues to just changing it now?

 * This error will get fixed soon.
 * I already posted this problem in Forever theme sub forum here
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forever-theme-version-123-error-message](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forever-theme-version-123-error-message)
 * Other users using Coraline theme (also a theme used at wp.COM) have this same
   problem too

 * Those 3 problematic lines used to happen in Spun theme (also a theme used at 
   wp.COM), and later removed

 * There should be no problem changing theme, unless the new theme you are changing
   to happens to have that same 3 lines of code in its function.

 * Version 1.2.4 of Forever has just been submitted to the .org directory. Once 
   it’s approved and made live, it will be available in your site’s dashboard, or
   at the theme’s usual Download link here in the directory. In the meantime you
   can follow its progress here:

 * You can download it to your hard drive and then either upload it as a zip in 
   Appearance > Themes, or unzip it and upload it to your site’s wp-content/themes
   folder via FTP.
