Hello, tdsportsx,

We appreciate your prompt response.

We would like to bring to your attention that utilizing the Appearance theme editor or a file manager plugin to implement fixes or code carries the risk of inducing fatal errors. Such errors could potentially result in you being locked out and the website becoming inaccessible. It is for this reason that we recommend editing files through FTP; the use of the File Manager or theme editor alone does not offer the level of security and control required for such operations.

To address the issue you are currently facing, you need to obtain FTP access details from your hosting provider. These details include the FTP host, FTP username, FTP password, FTP port, and FTP encryption type.

Best Regards,
8Theme’s Team

Hello, tdsportsx,

We would like to inform you that the issues previously mentioned have been resolved. As communicated earlier, the notices were appearing due to unsynchronized security databases.
