Reset to default 1It seems that the permalinks structure has an issue. Please follow below steps to fix it.
Step 1: if possible, back up your WP installation folder. Step 2: Temporary disable all the plugins (important step)
step 3: in the WordPress admin dashboard, go to Settings -> Permalinks
step 4: remember or note down somewhere what you have in the custom permalinks
step 5: temporarily enable (switch to) the default permalink:
step 6: verify the website is working now (not everything, because the plugins are disabled, but the preg_match error should be gone)
step 7: switch back to the custom permalinks setting you had at step 3
step 8: enable back all the plugins
The error will be gone.
