Category Icons Disappeared

Hi.

What if you try with the version 2.2.2 ?

I think I might be the friend this person is talking about. I updated the plugin and am still getting

Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/retros10/public_html/wp-content/plugins/category-icons/category_icons.php on line 123

If I remove the [] from
$p[‘cat’][] = $category->cat_ID;
the page works but only has the text links

URL: https://retrospectrentals.com/inventory/

If I put a number in the [], like 14, I can get 3 of the 8 icons to appear. if that helps at all…

Did you try the solution in this thread ?

the exact snippet you recommend to replace does not exist in that category_icons.php. This is what we have:

stripslaghes_gpc_arr($p);
if (is_category() && in_the_loop()) {
$cat = (int) get_query_var(‘cat’);
$category=get_category($cat);
if (!isset($p[‘cat’])) {
$p[‘cat’]=array();
}
/*elseif (!is_array($p[‘cat’])) {
$p[‘cat’]=array(0=>$p[‘cat’]);
}*/
$p[‘cat’][] = $category->cat_ID;
}

The instructions say to replace this block:
if (is_category() && in_the_loop()) {
$cat = (int) get_query_var(‘cat’);
$category=get_category($cat);
$p[‘cat’][] = $category->cat_ID;
}

I don’t see that block in the code

I added this:

if (!isset($p[‘cat’]) || !is_array($p[‘cat’])) {
$p[‘cat’]=array();
}

and then added back the [] to $p[‘cat’][] = $category->cat_ID;

The page still doesn’t display the icons but it no longer throws and error due to the [].

Could you give me the url of your site, please ?

sure! https://retrospectrentals.com/inventory/ is the page mentioned above that is affected.

Your theme is customized. Could you display the code that displays the html in the “cat contain” div, please ?

<div class="catcontain">
<ul>
<li class="cat-item"><div class="catbox">...</div>

<div class=”catcontain”>

<?php if (function_exists(‘put_cat_icons’))
foreach(get_categories(‘orderby=name&order=ASC&child_of=14’) as $category) {
echo ‘<li class=”cat-item”>’;
echo ‘<div class=”catbox”>’;
echo ‘cat_ID) . ‘”>’;
echo ”.get_cat_icon(“link=false&echo=false&cat=”.$category->cat_ID).’ ‘.$category->cat_name.’ (‘.$category->category_count.’)’;
echo ‘‘;
echo ‘</div>’;
echo ”;
}

?>

</div>

It’s working. Here is what I’ve done :

<div class="catcontain">
<?php
    if (function_exists('get_cat_icon')) {
        foreach( get_categories('orderby=name&order=ASC&child_of=6') as $category) {
            echo '<li class="cat-item">';
            echo '<div class="catbox">';
            echo get_cat_icon("echo=false&link=false&cat=".$category->cat_ID).' '.$category->cat_name.' ('.$category->category_count.')';
            echo '</div>';
        }
    }
?>
</div>

I gave this a shot and it’s still not showing the icons

This is weird. Can you modify your wp-config.php in order to display error ? Luckily this will show you if there is an error somewhere…

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

I’m willing to help you if you give me a temporary access to your blog. You can mail me using this form.

I don’t have access to the wp-config file right now. I’m asking the site owner if she would mind granting you access.
