# Update to WP caused strpost error

 * I’ve just updated to the new WP version and now cannot access my site.
 * When trying to login (or view the site) I see this at the top of the screen…
 * Warning: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/wholesom/
   public_html/wp-includes/shortcodes.php on line 193
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /home/wholesom/public_html/wp-includes/shortcodes.php:193) in /home/wholesom/
   public_html/wp-login.php on line 414
 * And I have NO IDEA how to fix it.
    Especially as it seems I’m unable to log in.(
   I can’t remember my password, or it’s not accepting it, and I’m unable to get
   it sent… it shows the same error on the screen when I select that option).
 * Thanks.

 * at the time of update did you Deactivate plugins. ?
 * Its better always follow guide [https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress)
 * OK now you need to use ftp and navigate to wp-content/. There you will see your
   plugins folder. Rename that folder to plugins.old. If you are able to login that
   means problem with your plugins.
 * Don’t forget to rename plugins.old back to plugins.
 * If that is plugin problem you need to deactivate all plugin. You can do that 
   via ftp or phpmyadmin.
 * I prefer do that with FTP
 * Open wp-content/plugin folder and rename your plugin with .old. Like your plugins
   name is jetpack make that jetpack.old

 * Thank you [@ractors](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ractors/) for the suggestion.
   I’ve tried it, and it didn’t work.
    Still the same errors keep happening.

 * Hi Ractors,
 * Yes, my site is now working.
 * I was able to get a hold of the company who hosts my site.
    They informed me 
   that it seemed the theme version was incompatible with the latest WP update. 
   I was then able to download the new theme version (which had only just been created),
   send it to them. They then updated the theme via ftp and the site works perfectly
   now.
 * Thank you again for your help.
 * Kind regards,
 * R
