Can't access php forums after installing WordPress and Deprecated error

[Anonymous]

After I installed WordPress, people can't access all my php forums with this message:
Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; acm has a deprecated constructor in /home4/chicagot/public_html/netforums/includes/acm/acm_file.php on line 23

I have restored it using hosting backup, but that doesn't fix the problem. Help please.

Stop displaying error messages (in your php.ini file) and make the changes to your code before the deprecated code stops your site working altogether.

You can update your WordPress and PHP code to use mysqli_connect() or PDO instead of mysql_connect(). This is the best option as it will ensure that your code is up-to-date and secure.
