Issues when upgrading to PHP7

This may be an issue i’ve come across, but wasn’t sure what was producing it. I’ve been running most of my debugs in php7, but unsure why it could conflict.

I’ll need more time to look into this. However, how do you have the filter (does it use pages)?

I have the same issue, on a page where I use APL it’s throwing a PHP Error (Notice) of:

Undefined index: post__not_in
wp-content/plugins/advanced-post-list/includes/class/APLQuery.php:437

Call Stack:
APLQuery->set_query_base_val()
 wp-content/plugins/advanced-post-list/includes/class/APLQuery.php:299

I’m using APL 0.3.2, WP 4.7.2.
Thanks for all the great work on this excellent plugin.

I have this same issue. My webhost (dreamhost) just updated PHP to whatever the current version is. Now on the page where I use APL, I get this at the top:

Warning: Missing argument 1 for APL_InternalShortcodes::final_end(), called in /home/ryharv/sellwoodconsulting.com/wp-content/plugins/advanced-post-list/includes/class/APLCore.php on line 2062 and defined in /home/ryharv/sellwoodconsulting.com/wp-content/plugins/advanced-post-list/includes/class/apl-shortcodes.php on line 1521

Thank you for posting additional info.

This does seem odd, considering I tested and developed in PHP7, but it seems to conflict when updating.

I’ll try to push a hot-fix on this this weekend. I have an idea what’s going on, but I’ve been a bit tied up at the moment.

Also, it might help to revert back to 0.3.1. There should be no conflicts reverting back till an update is released.

@ekojr – in apl-shortcodesphp on line 1521 you’re calling this:

public function final_end($content)

That means its waiting for some value for $content ??

But on APLCore.php on line 2062 you do this:

            if (strrpos($output, "[final_end]"))
            {
                $internal_shortcodes->final_end();
            }

So literally it doesn’t pass anything through as $content for the function, hence the error ??

(sigh)…figures it would be something simple…like a typo. Thanks for looking into the matter btw.

I recently encapsulated all the internal shortcodes, and thought I had double checked everything after completely rewriting the functions into an object.

I’ll get this added into the public release. Thank you @ipstenu

I did the same mistakes recently and spent a weekend debugging things that worked on my 7.0 dev box but not the live one. Happens to all of us ??

Many thanks for for looking into this guys! Will mark as resolved when the update is pushed.

Hey @bravo315 after looking into the issue. I believe your issue is different then the solution provided, but is aimed more towards @ryharv problem.

You said you have a fatal error with “Call to undefined function mb_internal_encoding()”, and I’ve found it isn’t an issue with APL, but with the server installed modules.

Another thread on WordPress has the same issue: Fatal Error undefined function mb_internal_encoding().

Sure enough, there were no instances of APL in either documents, but 100% if it’s designed like that and the Call() is actually the problem.

You are correct! APL was design as a singleton to keep the plugin as one instance within the WP environment, and it seems you are correct on the last part as well. The server host is missing the mbstring module after updating to PHP7.

I believe you’ll need to contact your hosting provider to have them install mbstring module.

However, I can correct Undefined index: post__not_in. Which is just a debug Notice really.

My host is Dreamhost and I just looked back at their announcement regarding the PHP upgrade. They actually upgraded PHP to version 5.6, not version 7.

For what it’s worth and I hope it’s helpful. I’ll also ask them to install mbstring.

No, @ryharv. You’re fix is in the update I’m about to push. I guess I said it in a rather confusing way. Just keep an eye on the update (I normally push at 00:00 UTC).

Bummer I can’t go back and edit that comment now.

aha, thank you. will look for it and thanks for being on top of the update so quickly.

I haven’t seen an update yet; has it been released?

I just released the update on WordPress (released it on GitHub last night). I was gonna release an 2 hours earlier, but I was mainly waiting til it was a Monday.
