I got this error when I try to do update using Elementor page builder on Consulting – Business, Finance WordPress Theme . First I thought It is some error with theme or any plugin associate with the theme. But the actual reason is the function block by the server’s security feature.
This is how I solved it
In cPanel,
under Security
Click & Go to ModSecurity
Look for user exact domain and select Off. (For all domains, ModSecurity is On by default)
If you get this message without loading your WordPress site it means the PHP code in your site is not compatible with the version of PHP your site is currently using. More specifically, the issue is with the outdated MySQL extension which was removed as of PHP 7.0.
If you’re using any version of PHP above 7.0 and you’re seeing this error, it’s due to old code that needs to be updated.
Solution 1 : If you unable to upgrade your WordPress installation to the latest for some reasons (i.e. – plugin compatibility) you have to downgrade the server PHP version. (v 5.6)
In order to do it please follow the instructions given by your hosting provider.
