So, first things first, let’s answer what is the “get_scheme()” function and why is it causing a PHP Fatal error.

For starters, the error message indicates that the “get_scheme()” function is being called on a null value in the “init.php” file of the Zikzag-core plugin. This error can disrupt the functionality of your website, as you’ve discovered, but we’ll work together to resolve it.

Solutions to consider to fix the error.

Clear Caches:

Start by clearing all caches, including server cache, browser cache, CDN cache, or any other caching mechanism you might use. Caching-related issues can sometimes cause conflicts and lead to such errors.

Reinstall Plugins:

Try uninstalling the Zikzag-core, Elementor, and Elementor Pro plugins. Then, reinstall them one by one. This can help resolve any potential conflicts or corrupted files that may be causing the error.

Change WordPress Theme:

Temporarily deactivate your current WordPress theme and switch to a basic theme like “Hello Elementor” or any other theme that uses Elementor. Sometimes, conflicts between themes and plugins can trigger such errors. Testing with a different theme will help identify if the theme is the culprit.

Contact Web Hosting Support:

If none of the above solutions work, it’s time to contact your web hosting provider. The get_scheme() error could result from server resource issues or misconfiguration. Open a support ticket with your hosting provider and explain the error you’re facing. They will be able to investigate further and provide necessary assistance.
