    I’m rebuilding my site from the old Comic press at edsrus.com to a new comic easel powered site at edthecomicguy.com. I was mucking about with the design, managed to get the comic up, as well as a lot of the functionality. Really happy. Then I went to the “add comic” tab and got this lovely message…

    Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function ereg() in /home/edapp/edthecomicguy.com/wp-content/themes/herothemetrust/functions.php:760 Stack trace: #0 /home/edapp/edthecomicguy.com/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(288): save_postdata(7474) #1 /home/edapp/edthecomicguy.com/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(310): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #2 /home/edapp/edthecomicguy.com/wp-includes/plugin.php(453): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 /home/edapp/edthecomicguy.com/wp-includes/post.php(3581): do_action(‘save_post’, 7474, Object(WP_Post), false) #4 /home/edapp/edthecomicguy.com/wp-admin/includes/post.php(608): wp_insert_post(Array) #5 /home/edapp/edthecomicguy.com/wp-admin/post-new.php(70): get_default_post_to_edit(‘comic’, true) #6 {main} thrown in /home/edapp/edthecomicguy.com/wp-content/themes/herothemetrust/functions.php on line 760

    I have a feeling that I might have accidentally deleted or moved something around… however I was getting the same error message when i was working with elements of the theme (Theme trust’s “Hero”), and they just corrected themselves after a while.

    Apparently, the post information doesn’t get sent right. Might be something as small as a ‘}’ or whatever missing somewhere that does that. The difficult part is to locate it.

    Do you get the same error when you try to save a regular blog post? If so, does it remain when you switch CE off?

    By switching your plugins off and on one by one you can get a grasp of where, roughly, the problem is. If it’s with one of your theme tweaks rather than the plugins: Are you working with a child theme? If so, you can delete and undelete files to see if one of your theme changes caused it. (If it’s the theme.)

    The blog posting also doesn’t work. I’ve tried switching off the plugins and that doesn’t fix it either, so I guess it’ll have to be in the theme, when i switched out the theme it seems to work. I’ll re install the old theme and figure things out. thanks.

    Make sure to use a child theme for your changes. Makes it easier to track any mistakes.
