Hi Armin,

I tried to update my site to the latest lay theme by clicking the update button in wordpress and now my site is completely down with this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_rest_url() in /data/23/4/124/22/4287837/user/4892414/htdocs/wp-content/themes/lay/assets/inc/rest-api/extras.php on line 30

Is there any way to recover or revert back?

Thanks!
David

Hey David!
You need to login to your ftp using filezilla for example. Then you need to go to your wordpress folder. Enter the folder "wp-content" -> "themes". Inside, rename "lay" to "lay2".

Now login to your wordpress and update wordpress. Afterwards in your ftp rename the folder "lay2" to "lay" again.
