Error when activating Mailpoet 3

Don’t expect a response for this. Mail Poet continues to evade and ignore requests to fix the issue of their platform not being compatible with PhP 7.3. We are currently testing other options and plan to leave Mail Poet ASAP.

Thanks,

I was starting to think about that. What are you testing? I am looking at:

Hi there @johnkgibson,

Sorry about the delay with our response. I’ve just tested and haven’t been able to replicate this and many of us personally use PHP 7.3 as part of our development environments.

Can you post the full configuration of your development environment including Apache/Nginx configurations?

Thanks!

I have the same issue, I’m using the docker wordpress image 5.2.4-php7.3

here’s the error that shows up upon activation:

UPDATE: What we found out was that Mail Poet was no longer supporting Mail Poet 2, which worked fine under php 7.2 There is a new Mail Poet 3 that is compatible with php 7.3 so we installed that. It’s an entirely different program so there’s a bit of a learning curve but we think it’s going to work ok for us.

So, the best advice I can give is to ditch Mail Poet 2 and go with Mail Poet 3 unless of course, you choose to stay with php 7.2

As I see one of the comments above mentions using the php docker image, it turns out you can solve it by installing the pdo extensions.

This is my complete dockerfile now. Without installing pdo pdo_mysql as per the dockerfile below, it would throw this exact error. This works nicely with both php 5.6.20 and with 7.3.

FROM php:7.3-apache

RUN apt-get update

RUN apt-get install -y libzip-dev zlib1g-dev

RUN docker-php-ext-install zip mysqli pdo pdo_mysql

RUN a2enmod rewrite
