 * Hi blogbyb,
 * You’ll need to get in touch with your theme author and refer them to this changeset:
   [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/22429](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/22429)
 * For now, you can just disable error reporting & display by opening your `wp-config.
   php` file and adding this:
 *     ```
       ini_set( 'display_errors', false );
       error_reporting( 0 );
       ```
   
 * Moving to How-To and Troubleshooting.

 * I am getting this same exact error, but it has nothing to do with theme, it happens
   no matter what on the wp backend when I try to update a post/page.
 * Help!!!

 * [@dinocsp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dinocsp/):** read the link**; 
   the error can occur with a _theme or plugin_. Deactivate all plugins.

 * As I’ve said, it has nothing to do with theme, and also plugin – deactivated 
   all and used the twentytwele theme. It sucks, but I’ll get around it somehow,
   fortunately it a backend problem so users do not suffer from it.
