PHP Fatal error

Hello @plastiquefruit,

The plugin is in the installation zip file but it might have been damaged or missing from the plugin folder due to some reason.

Please deactivate and delete the plug-in and then reinstall it again so you may recover the lost/damaged file.

Please let us know if that worked to resolve your issue.

PS: Please also check if the permissions of the file are 644.

Hello @plastiquefruit,

Did you succeed to solve your issue with the Basic.php class file?

Hi @plastiquefruit,

We hope everything is fine with the plugin installation now since you are not replying our messages. That is why we are closing this thread.

Thank you for using our plugin.

To fix – you need to add global $denra_plugins to wp-date-and-time-shortcode.php – see here:

(Line #39.)

Hello @rawb,

Thanks for your initiative and the solution.

Can you please let us know in what environment and in what cases you get the error messages when the variable is not defined as a global since we have received only the complaint above for this error until now (and yours, of course).

Thank you in advance!

It only happens when I’m trying to run a command via wp-cli (e.g., /usr/local/bin/wp cron event run --due-now) – this plugin will throw a Fatal Error because $denra_plugins is empty. It works fine otherwise.

Researching, it looks like this is because wp-cli commands are loaded through a function and you need to be explicit in your global definitions. See here:

https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/issues/2200

WP-CLI now loads WordPress inside of a function: #2089

Global variables need to be explicitly globalized in order to function as expected in WP-CLI.

So yeah, just adding the global $denra_plugins like in my Gist above should solve the wp-cli issue. I was trying to figure out why my cron jobs weren’t running!

Thanks for your feedback and additional details, @rawb. We will consider it when releasing the 3.0 version which is in development and testing. Cheers.
