    About once a day I receive this error message:

    I know the function remove_meta_box is a core function and should exist, however it’s still called in a way where it does not.

    Please fix or advise.

    No one reported this so far so it has to be something specific to your setup.

    I don’t have any ideas though, as you already mentioned remove_meta_box() is a core WordPress function but something could be loading just part of the WordPress files and somehow triggering Guest Author plugin but without having wp-admin/includes/template.php loaded. I see something about a WPUmbrella class. Maybe one of their scans or features does that somehow, I don’t know 🙁

    Hello, The same thing is happening to me. I think the issue may lie with WP Umbrella.
