Having problems with my WordPress site

I’ve been doing a child theme for a WordPress.org website.

After I’m almost finished, this random error message appears in the top of the WordPress site

The message says “Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in…”

I do know that the problem is with something in the wp-includes, since the rest of the message says that is in the wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 205.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

If you start removing bits and pieces of your functions.php or custom template code, does the problem go away?

Thanks for responding.

I was able to solve the problem, by editing the wp-config.php.

I added a code that someone gave me, and it worked.

The code was "error_reporting(0); @ini_set('display_errors', 0);"
