Critical Error on Theme

    Hi,
    I have 2 websites both with Parallax Pro, and have recently been simplifying/updating both – removing or replacing Google Maps and other GDPR-unfriendly elements (the law in Germany is very strict).

    One website has worked out fine but the other is now throwing an error every time I hit ‘Save’ anywhere in ‘Appearance/Theme Options’:

    “There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”

    I can get into the Admin tool no problem, I can add/activate/deactivate plug-ins no problem, and the public-facing site is working just fine. However I cannot do anything in ‘Appearance/Theme Options’ without that error getting thrown.

    The resulting mail gives this:

    An error of type E_ERROR was caused on line 115 of file /mnt/web008/c2/84/5379784/htdocs/klargehn/wp-content/themes/accesspress_parallax_pro/inc/options-framework/includes/class-options-sanitization.php.

thrown

    By the way – the diagnostic email gives the following sys info:

    WordPress-Version 5.6.11
    Aktuelles Theme: Accesspress Parallax Pro (Version 4.0.1)
    Aktuelles Plugin:? (Version )
    PHP-Version 8.0.28

    => I have actually updated WP to version 6.2.2 today but there has not been an updated diagnostics mail
    => there is no option to update the Theme, though my other site is on version 4.0.5

    Can anyone help here please? Many thanks in advance!

    An update: in the meantime I downloaded that php file and corrected the error via another means (ChatGPT!)

    Line 115 originally had this:
    $output = ”;

    ChatGPT said:

    “The error seems to be related to the $output variable, which is initially declared as an empty string ('') and later assigned as an array. This can cause a “TypeError” when trying to access an offset of a string, as the error message indicates.

    To fix the issue, you should initialize $output as an empty array ($output = array();) instead of an empty string.”

    So I made that small edit to the faulty line, and everything now works!
