Questions that are too localized (such as syntax errors, code with restricted access, hacked sites, hosting or support issues) are not in scope. See how do I ask a good question?

Improve this questionI'm receiving the below error when trying to access the Permalinks section on the WP admin. The page does not load and shows the error message instead. I cannot understand what this means or what has to be done. Any ideas are appreciated and thanks in advance.
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function

- I downgraded the php version to 7.2 which removed this error on my Siteground Hosting. – Aron Commented Sep 17, 2020 at 15:13
- You need to contact your hosting provider, this shouldn't happen unless you're using a super old version of WP ( the fix for this was made 13+ years ago ), either that or the apache module is not installed correctly on the server – Tom J Nowell ♦ Commented Sep 17, 2020 at 18:45
- It must be the apache module then as I'm running the latest Wordpress 5.5.1 on PHP 7.3.20. I now downgraded to 7.2.32 and the permalinks page is now showing again. – Ayrton Sims Commented Sep 17, 2020 at 20:39

Reset to default 0The error is related with the Hosting Server PHP Version. So if you are on PHP 7.3.XX try downgrading to 7.2.xx or 7.1.xx and see if that helps!
P.S. I was facing the same issue and had to downgrade to PHP 7.1 to fix it!
