1.5.1 Site suddenly stopped working PHP 5.2.1, WP 5.1.17

Not sure what happened, but Some functionality stopped working suddenly.

https://www.molisana.com

Shop links give this error
Call to undefined function: mysql_connect(). Please install the MySQL Connector for PHP

Any help is appreciated

They probably removed PHP 5.2 and updated your PHP to 7 or 8. You'll need to upgrade.

Thank you for the response. I downgraded the PHP to 5.4 and it still didn't work. I guess I will have to update zencart.

You really need to update your WordPress too. Old WP installations are CONSTANTLY getting attacked.
