 * Hi
 * I am a novice to WordPress and have found that I’m unable to access my site, 
   other than get presented with this message, which I don’t understand at all.
 * **Notice**: Function add_theme_support( ‘html5’ ) was called **incorrectly**.
   You need to pass an array of types. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more
   information. (This message was added in version 3.6.1.) in **/home/thefoot/public_html/
   wp-includes/functions.php** on line **5866**
 * Could someone please advise what I can do?

 *  This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable
   them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
