Le petit théâtre ambulant project

Website Diagnostic:

• The website is working, no blank pages
• BUG n°1 : Several Warning messages of the following type appear on the website's online pages:
  “ Warning: mysql_query(): No such file or directory in /homepages/12/d294967547/htdocs/wp-content/themes/theatre/data.php on line 71 “
• BUG n°2 : Several Warning messages of the following type appear in articles directly in WordPress :
  “ Warning: mysql_query(): No such file or directory in /homepages/12/d294967547/htdocs/wp-content/themes/theatre/single.php on line 24 "

Resolving Bug n°1: several steps (move on to the next step if the previous step does not resolve the bug):

• Recover files via ftp to view lines of code
• Check database hosted by 1&1: export database to 1&1 and check on MyPHPadmin
• Check the settings for the ‘theatre’ child theme
• Reinstall WordPress in case of a corrupted WordPress file
• Study warning messages. The line numbers mentioned contain the mysql_query() and mysql_fetch_array() functions, which have become obsolete in accordance with the new programming standards. These functions therefore need to be updated. They are replaced by the functions $wpdb->prepare and $wpdb->get_results, prepared queries, whose use is important for securing the site

Resolving Bug n°2: several steps (move on to the next step if the previous step does not resolve the bug):

• The single.php file is causing problems. It was modified when the Theatre child theme was created. Never modify the source files of WordPress (or of a theme) because each time it is updated, it will be deleted
• Updating the Twenty ten theme solved the problem

WordPress update, Child Theme
