  I just installed the latest theme evolve Plus v 2.9.9.8
  When I try to use a live preview of a Demo Awesome theme I get error message. I get the exact same error message if I look at the Theme4Press website to show a demo.

  I am using MacBook Pro running Catalina with all updates installed and using browser Safari.
  My website is using WordPress 5.5 with all updates and PHP 7.4

  This is the full error message:

  Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function wp_body_open() in /var/www/www-root/data/www/demo.theme4press.com/wp-content/themes/evolve-plus/header.php:21 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/www-root/data/www/demo.theme4press.com/wp-includes/template.php(704): require_once() #1 /var/www/www-root/data/www/demo.theme4press.com/wp-includes/template.php(653): load_template(‘/var/www/www-ro…’, true) #2 /var/www/www-root/data/www/demo.theme4press.com/wp-includes/general-template.php(41): locate_template(Array, true) #3 /var/www/www-root/data/www/demo.theme4press.com/wp-content/themes/evolve-plus/front-page.php(11): get_header() #4 /var/www/www-root/data/www/demo.theme4press.com/wp-includes/template-loader.php(77): include(‘/var/www/www-ro…’) #5 /var/www/www-root/data/www/demo.theme4press.com/wp-blog-header.php(19): require_once(‘/var/www/www-ro…’) #6 /var/www/www-root/data/www/demo.theme4press.com/index.php(17): require(‘/var/www/www-ro…’) #7 {main} thrown in /var/www/www-root/data/www/demo.theme4press.com/wp-content/themes/evolve-plus/header.php on line 21

Hi. The reason for this error is because you (and we) didn’t update WordPress to a newer version. You should either:
1. Update to WordPress 5.5
2. Or add the following to your functions.php file:
if ( ! function_exists( ‘wp_body_open’ ) ) {
function wp_body_open() {
do_action( ‘wp_body_open’ );
}
}
If will solve the problem.

I am currently running WordPress 5.5 |(see my post above).
Also the same error seems to happen when using the demo on your website.
Do you also need to add something to functions.php?

Yes, we do, but I guess that your website interests you more, isn’t it? We will add the fix in the next release, in the meanwhile, you have the solution you were looking for. Do let me know if you need any other assistance.

And by the way, we did add it as well and the problem is gone. Since you were asking, I’m updating you. 🙂
