    The Events Calendar plugin is breaking other plugins. When disabled other plugins work fine.

    I keep getting alerts from WordPress that there is an issue with the Events Calendar Plugin.

    I have tried re installing the plugin and upgrading to the new DB structure but no change.

    The error details I get in the alerts are:

    Hi @wag1998,

    Thank you so much for your report here.

    This is an issue due to our team using PHP Type enforcement, and some other plugin returning null instead of what our methods were expecting which was a string.

    Internally we already set a policy to no longer do that to filters, because we dont have control over the output or input all the time, and we want to make sure we play nice with other plugins.

    I’ve put together a Pull Request fixing the issue, and it will go out on the next release of The Events Calendar.
