set_time_limit()

that function limits the maximum execution time. You can’t change those settings on free hosting, so that function is disabled.

What to do

[Greenreader9]

I don’t know what you mean by that.

The function has never worked here, and will never work here. Just remove it.

If you need to change the max execution time, you need to upgrade to premium hosting.

I have the similar problem. I am not able to start JOOMLA 4.3.3 control panel. Following message is shown: Call to undefined function Joomla\CMS\Filesystem\set_time_limit(). Because I am not able to start control panel, I don´t know what to do. Could You help to me?

Your situation is not exactly the same, since this poster uses a different software, but it is similar.

Thankfully, for your case someone has found a solution:

Joomla not working (it was working before)

I managed to fix the error myself, here is how to fix it; go to htdocs/libraries/src/Filesystem/Folder.php and delete the set_time_limit functions (the whole line that function is being used) then go to htdocs/administrator/components/com_scheduler/src/Scheduler/Scheduler.php search for “// Let’s try to avoid time-outs” and delete the whole “if” function. this should work if you installed joomla from softaculous and getting this error.
