PHP Fatal error: Invalid post – when another plugin saves a WP option

  • Elementor causes a fatal error when Ocean WP theme wizard tries to set blog’s title and description (using update_option()).

    I set up a completely new WordPress 5.8.3 using the Docker image and after logging in to the admin account, went straight to the themes, installed and activated Ocean WP, then Ocean Extras, as was prompted. After that I got a button to start the theme setup wizard.

    I selected a demo to import (Yoga), confirmed installing the two plugins that were requested during the process including Elementor (except the sticky header plugin), filled in the site title, logos, left the colour settings intact.

    Saving this page lead to an error page.

    The error log contains these details:

  • Hi,

    Since the issue is caused by the Ocean Extras plugin and as we have no control over coding for third-party plugins or themes, we highly recommend that you report this issue to the support team for this plugin so they may further troubleshoot and provide any recommendations (or possible fix) to resolve this issue.

    If they need any technical details regarding Elementor, they are free to open an issue on our Github page where our developers will be happy to collaborate directly with them.

    That other plugin is just updating a blog setting (the title and description) using the built-in function update_option().

    Elementor is the one that’s hooked into this action and produces the fatal error because cannot find some post ID.

    It looks more like the other plugin has no control over how Elementor is acting, so I’m here so you would troubleshoot your plugin instead (or “as well”).

    Hi,

    Since this is a development-based query, may opt to visit our Github account where you may get in contact with a member of our development team to query this.

    Thank you for the reply! I’ve passed the info on to the theme developers.

    I’m not sure I want to get more involved myself, as I’m thinking of using a different theme anyway.

    Hi, I encountered the same error when using JupiterX theme. The error occurs when I try to edit the tagline of the site. When I deactivate Elementor I can edit the tagline normally.
