 * Hi,
 * I need to transfer w website to a new host but I don’t have access to FTP to 
   the original hosting server.
 * I am using Updraft plus to export files, etc. I am able to see the site on the
   new host but, I keep getting the following errors:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in /var/www/vhosts/elpunto-goettingen.de/elpunto-goettingen.de/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/bridge/widgets/relate_posts_widget.php on line 86
   
       Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in /var/www/vhosts/elpunto-goettingen.de/elpunto-goettingen.de/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/bridge/widgets/latest_posts_menu.php on line 104
       ```
   
 * Can someone help me fix this please? After deactivating all plugins these two
   errors still remain.

 * Hi,
 * I suggest you contact the developers of your theme as the issue is coming from
   the theme.
 * Thanks,

 * I found the issue. My server only had php 7.4.33 and the original server was 
   set to 7.4.11. So, I downgraded to 7.3. I’ll end up changing the theme later 
   because it is too outdated.
