Parse error on filtering

Hi!
A very strange issues. You can enable debugging in the plugin settings. It is very difficult to say anything now, since some of the terms in the filter work correctly, but only 2 terms do not work.

And also provide us with plugin settings (post types + taxonomies + terms)

I’ve enabled the debugging option now and attached you’ll find the export of the settings here: https://limewire.com/d/1783bcec-506e-4c95-8bfe-73c69bf3f145#LFXRCzxpO4wplbELrnBj_Y1RQkbmlVeoFYcW2PUukZM

Can you provide us with access to your site’s admin panel? We need to check your plugin settings. Our specialists will, if possible, check all settings and the operation of the plugin.

Also, try changing the filter type to another one, and also disable the Hierarchical Tree of Terms option.

I tried changing the filter type and unchecked Hierarchical Tree, but no luck. I’ll add you to the staging environment which have the same issue. Which email should be added?

Added. Let me know if you need anything from me.

Very strange behavior. We looked through your settings and did not see anything critical. We advise you to recreate new terms and resave them. The fact is that the rest of the terms work correctly with the exception of only two: “Boligprosjekter -> Enebolig” and “Boligprosjekter -> Leilighetsbygg. If there was a critical error, then other terms in the filter would not work either.

I tried to delete the affected terms and recreate them. Still the same issue.

We will take this issue into consideration and pass it on to our developers for more detailed analysis.

If I leave the affected term with only 1 project it seems to be working. Really strange.

Edit: works with 2. I’ll try to add one by one now.

We hope that you will be able to solve your difficult task. Good luck!

I was able to identify the problem.

File: ymc-smart-filter/includes/core/frontend/layouts/post/post-layout1.php

When I removed apply_filters from this block, it started working.

Code that does not work:

if (has_excerpt($post_id)) {
    $content = get_the_excerpt($post_id);
} else {
    $content = apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content($post_id));
}

Code that works:

if (has_excerpt($post_id)) {
    $content = get_the_excerpt($post_id);
} else {
    $content = get_the_content($post_id);
}

I’m not entirely sure why this change resolves the issue, but it seems to fix the problem for me.

The thing is that when updating a plugin, all previously made edits inside the plugin core will be overwritten. That is not a good practice. Therefore, all hooks should be redefined in the WordPress theme or child theme.
