 * my web site was recently hacked, so I restored my web page and database.
    The
   web site now has the following Warning Message:
 * Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function‘
   register_shortcodes’ not found or invalid function name in /home/gymbaroo/public_html/
   test2/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 496
 * I think it has something to do with the Gravity Forms Plugin Directory, as removing
   this directory on another of my web sites I get the same Warning Message.
 * I also can not enter wp-admin mode to be able to edit anything.
 * Can someone help with resolving the warning message?
    Im guessing the plugin.
   php can not find the register_shortcodes function, but Im not sure how to fix
   it.
 * Cheers,

 * I have recovered my web site after lots of work and many days.
 * However I am still getting the php warning message appear in my errorlog file.
 * Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function‘
   register_shortcodes’ not found or invalid function name in /home/gymbaroo/public_html/
   test2/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 496
 * It is not causing any apparent problems, but I would like to resolve any underlying
   issue.
 * Is there anyone who could possibly assist in finding the culprit?
 * Regards,
    Jeff

 * I have disabled all plugins, and the error message still appears every time the
   web page is refreshed. Im guessing this eliminates a plugin issue.
