Can't deactivate without multiple WP notices

Hey benrich,

Which version of the plugin are you using? I ask because we used to include a line of code in an older version of the plugin which disabled WordPress Error Reporting so any PHP errors on your site would automatically be hidden. We removed this in an update a while ago as it wasn’t needed, but if you’re using an older version then it would still be in there. So what’s happening is that there are some PHP errors on your site being caused by either another plugin or something in your theme and the line of code in our plugin has been hiding them. When you deactivate the plugin then those errors are then being displayed. You can resolve this by either resolving the PHP errors on your site, or you can hide them again by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php file:

ini_set('display_errors', 0);
error_reporting(0);

Let me know whether that makes sense, and apologies for any inconvenience.

Think that’s it. Although it got more complicated. First off WP’s update notification hadn’t noticed the update. Maybe because the plugin folder name has changed? Dunno.

So I put your php function calls into wp-config and then updated from “Custom Facebook Feed Pro” v2.2 to “Custom Facebook Feed” v2.3.7.

Warnings then showed again despite adding to wp-config.

Basically there’s something else in our codebase that’s turning error reporting back on. So I turned it off again in our theme’s function file.

Thanks for the help!

Hey benrich,

It sounds like something strange was definitely going on, the plugin folder name hasn’t been changed in any of our updates so I’m not sure exactly what was happening in this occasion. Either way, it sounds like you were able to get things resolved and so I’m happy to hear that.

If you have any future issues or questions then just let me know and I’d be happy to help. Have a great rest of your week!

John
