    I am getting critical errors when running Widget Options with The Events Calendar Shortcode & Block plugin. the error occurs both on the front of the site and in the editor. The page just contains the block from the Shortcode & Block plugin and I am not using any Widget Options on the page.

    The error I am getting is:

    [13-May-2024 13:29:08 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in xxx\wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar-shortcode\block\init.php:140

    The site is running WP 6.5.3. I have reverted to Twenty-Twenty-One theme and have only 3 plugins active:

    • The Events Calendar Version 6.4.0.1 by The Events Calendar
    • The Events Calendar Shortcode & Block Version 2.8.5 by Event Calendar Newsletter
    • Widget Options Version 4.0.6 by Widget Options Team

    The problem occurs both when I have Classic Widgets option enabled and Gutenberg disabled, and the other way round.

    Could you please have a look?

    Hi @mandynepeta ,

    We tried to install both Widget Options and The Events Calendar Shortcode & Block plugins but failed to replicate the issue.

    I would suggest coordinating this case to the The Events Calendar Shortcode & Block plugin author.

    Thank you,
    Mej

    Hi @mej

    I have caused the error on a site with Twenty-Twenty-One active and The Events Calendar, The Events Calendar Shortcode and Block and Wisget Options active.

    Running Widget Options V4.0.6.1, Add a page and then Add the Events Calendar Shortcode and Block Block. Try to save and the save fails. (Actually, I think the save may have worked but the post-save render fails)If you do the same with version 4.0.1 active, the page will save and display successfully.

    If you already have a post set up and try to access it with version 4.0.6.1, there is a critical error on the Edit while the page renders but the calendar does not show.

    Note that it is the block that causes the problem: the shortcode works OK.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi there

    When I update to V4.0.6.1and try to edit the age I get the critical error message:

Error Details

=============

An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 140 of the file /home/.../wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-shortcode/block/init.php. Error message: Uncaught Error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /home/.../wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-shortcode/block/init.php:140

Stack trace:

#0 /home/.../wp-includes/class-wp-block.php(463): ecs_render_block(Array, '', Object(WP_Block))

I did get in touch with the other developer and they advised me to use the shortcode (which does work but not a simple for the client).

    Hi @mej

    Thanks for letting me know. I have checked the new version out in test and it is no longer giving me critical errors. I will apply it to the live site shortly.
