Hi there,

I’m working with my client’s hosting provider to sort out a problem with updating the Virtue Premium theme.

Here’s his explanation of the issue:

—————-

“When we update our theme from Version: 4.10.15 to Version: 4.10.16 we get the following error:

mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: Undefined array key “HTTP_REFERER” in /home/dh_6rr49q/stjacobsdaycare.ca/wp-content/themes/virtue_premium/virtue_premium.theme#archive on line 43

The entire site crashes and is not loadable. When we replace the backup of the Theme it comes back to life. I have made sure the PHP is up to date (8.4 now, it was 8.1) The logs are full of these warnings even before this update but this is the last error when the site wont load.

Website URL where we can see more details: stjacobsdaycare.ca”
