    Hi Samuel,

    First of all, sorry for writing a post in the “Blank white screen” topic. I should have made a new topic altogether right from the start.

    Onto the problem at hand.
    I got this error when sending a message with both an image and a link:

    Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /web/htdocs/www.flottastellareitaliana.it/home/fsi/wp-content/plugins/wpchats/classes/wpchats.php on line 1759

    On line 1759 of wpchats.php I have this:

    $ret .= '<div class="wpc-media-links"><a href="'.$m[1].'" download title="'.$this->translate(50).'"><i class="wpcico-download-cloud"></i>'. $this->translate(49) .'</a>';

    I couldn’t add any new message to the conversation, nor delete it, so I had to deleted the last message from the admin panel and now it works again.

    This is what I see from the deleted messages page in admin panel:

    Sistemato, anche se ho dovuto creare una singola immagine, perchè facendola composita come l\’originale metteva degli orrendi br subito dopo ogni \”riga\” di immagini, creando uno spazio bianco. La nuova immagine è questa: [img]https://i66.tinypic.com/sbinnq.jpg[/img] E il link relativo è [link]https://i66.tinypic.com/sbinnq.jpg(title)questo[/link]. I colori non li ho toccati, ma il giallo è veramente un pugno in un occhio.

    As you can see, there’s a (title) where the title of the link was supposed to be.

    I can confirm that this bug present itself with every media – images, audios and videos – in addition to the links, (of course, the line indicated in the fatal error message changes accordingly to what I’m trying to add to the message).

    Hi Jenny,

    Hope you are great.

    Thank you for starting your own topic. For that other topic, I recognized the issue and I am releasing an update very soon.

    The is a bit of a weird thing, but I read about it online and I think you might be running a PHP software with a version of something below 5.4 right? check and let me know if I am wrong.

    I noticed you are a good with modifying files, can you edit the wpchats.php class file and replace with the new one in the paste https://pastebin.com/y8cu1mYh (Remember, the function code starts from public function output_message( $message ) until the the closing bracket } followed by public function output_emoji($message) ).

    Please update the code and test it out. I will be pretty glad if you help me out of this ??

    Thank you!!

    Samuel.

    Hi Samuel,

    Sorry for the late reply, it has been a long day.

    Anyway, I’ve updated the code with the one you gave me and I’ve tried sending a message with an added link.
    This is the fatal error I got back:

    Fatal error: Call to a member function translate() on a non-object in /web/htdocs/www.flottastellareitaliana.it/home/fsi/wp-content/plugins/wpchats/classes/wpchats.php on line 1844

    Hi!

    Don’t worry about that.

    Can you please login to your server (control panel) and check your PHP version and let me know?

    Thank you.

    Hi Jenny,

    Just checking with you, did you solve your issue? because I have left you a reply earlier (I guess you didn’t see my reply)

    Did you verify your PHP version? I will release an update and I want to get these issues out of the way..

    Thanks, and have a great weekend ??

    Hi Samuel.

    I’m so sorry for the late reply, but it’s been two weeks from hell, really.
    I’ve had three last minute jobs, with three very real and almost impossible deadlines, and I haven’t had a free day to even think about this.

    Anyway, the PHP version active on the server is 5.3.29.

    No worries.

    Please refer to this page Requirements for WordPress. Please upgrade your PHP to some earlier version (5.5 or greater) because your version has already reach EOL and its security support was stopped.

    If you don’t upgrade you will encounter further issues with other themes and plugins, among them this one.

    Hi Samuel,

    I’ve changed from 5.3.29 to 5.5 and everything works just fine.
    Thank you so much for your help and keep up the good work!

    Awesome! I am happy that you did the upgrade, and that the issue is now resolved!

    Thank you too, and have a nice start of the week ??
