I've moved my site to a new hosting company.

Forum is working fine but I've got the below error appearing at the bottom of each page on the site now and the wp-admin.

Fatal error: Call to a member function check_connection() on a non-object in /home/howtonet/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-press/sp-api/sp-api-wpdb.php on line 439

the error is actually in the wp db library functions...  what version of wp?

and what  versions of php and mysql?

seems an issue (lots of similar reports in wp forums) with mysqli library?

wow, really old version (5.3.26) of php for a new server...  released 2 1/2 years ago...  just for record, WordPress recommends php version 5.6 or newer...  and php 5.3 reached end of life support in 2014 and is no longer supported...   that said, WordPress still supports it...  but I would highly recommend upgrading to a current supported version...

can you verify if the php was compiled with  mysqli support?

Thanks for the help but I'm not a programmer and I'm guessing most people on here aren't so if you can tell me how to find that out it would help heaps. I'm just a Joe Average trying to run my Wordpress site.

No, this would be an advanced topic... sorry, thought  I  mentioned it, easiest way would be to inquire with your host... if you have access to a phpinfo() display, that could give it to you as well...

still researching this as well since not convinced that is the issue...  but the error is actually occurring in a wp function (their db connection code)...  and its not obvious how its triggered..  only these two reports and I cannot duplicate it... and wp support forum have fair number of similar reports but no common thread...

would it be possible to temp disable all other plugins and see if it still occurs?
