Saving snippet throws 404 Error

  • Hi,

    This seems to be related to the content of the snippet, since I am able to save some other snippets. I am trying to add first name and last name to my WooCommerce registration via code that i found on the web.

    Simply adding an empty function shell like this works:

    functionwooc_extra_register_fields() {

}
add_action( 'woocommerce_register_form_start', 'wooc_extra_register_fields' );

    The moment I add something like this in the function I can’t save. 

    function wooc_extra_register_fields() {
    ?>

    <p class="form-row form-row-first">
    <label for="reg_billing_first_name"><?php _e( 'First name', 'woocommerce' ); ?> <span class="required">*</span></label>
    <input type="text" class="input-text" name="billing_first_name" id="reg_billing_first_name" value="<?php if ( ! empty( $_POST['billing_first_name'] ) ) esc_attr_e( $_POST['billing_first_name'] ); ?>" />
    </p>

    <p class="form-row form-row-last">
    <label for="reg_billing_last_name"><?php _e( 'Last name', 'woocommerce' ); ?> <span class="required">*</span></label>
    <input type="text" class="input-text" name="billing_last_name" id="reg_billing_last_name" value="<?php if ( ! empty( $_POST['billing_last_name'] ) ) esc_attr_e( $_POST['billing_last_name'] ); ?>" />
    </p>

    <div class="clear"></div>

    <p class="form-row form-row-wide">
    <label for="reg_billing_phone"><?php _e( 'Phone', 'woocommerce' ); ?> <span class="required">*</span></label>
    <input type="text" class="input-text" name="billing_phone" id="reg_billing_phone" value="<?php if ( ! empty( $_POST['billing_phone'] ) ) esc_attr_e( $_POST['billing_phone'] ); ?>" />
    </p>

    <?php
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_register_form_start', 'wooc_extra_register_fields' );

    I tried disabling wp-spamshield, YoastSEO, JetPack, and some more but no changes. I have seen other people with similar issues on the forum, but no solution. Can you help?

    This is strange. You say that it throws a 404 error – what is the URL when this happens?

    Hi! I figured out a little more but no solution yet.
    The URL is this:

    https://2mynds.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=edit-snippet&id=11&result=updated

    If you need access to the site, let me know. It’s locked behind a maintenance screen still, but I can give you access (although I’d prefer not to make the access method public).

    Anyway, I found that if I remove the $_Post string that it saves. Actually, I can just remove the $ sign and there no longer is an error. Does that give you any ideas?

    So this saves:

    function wooc_extra_register_fields() {

    <p class="form-row form-row-first">
    <label for="reg_billing_first_name"><?php _e( 'First name', 'woocommerce' ); ?> <span class="required">*</span></label>
    <input type="text" class="input-text" name="billing_first_name" id="<?php if ( ! empty( _POST['billing_first_name'] ) ) esc_attr_e( _POST['billing_first_name'] ); ?>" />
    </p>
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_register_form_start', 'wooc_extra_register_fields' );

    and this doesn’t:

    function wooc_extra_register_fields() {

    <p class="form-row form-row-first">
    <label for="reg_billing_first_name"><?php _e( 'First name', 'woocommerce' ); ?> <span class="required">*</span></label>
    <input type="text" class="input-text" name="billing_first_name" id="<?php if ( ! empty( $_POST['billing_first_name'] ) ) esc_attr_e( $_POST['billing_first_name'] ); ?>" />
    </p>
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_register_form_start', 'wooc_extra_register_fields' );

    OK, it’s not the dollar sign, it’s the combination of dollar sign and the POST command:
    $POST works
    _POST works
    $_POS works
    $_POST throws 404 error

    Unfortunately, I’m still unable to reproduce this error. I’ve never even encountered a 404 page when using or developing this plugin before. I’m sure access to the site in question would be very helpful, if you were okay with that. You can contact me directly at shea [at] bungeshea [dot] com

    Additionally, what does this ‘404 error’ actually look like? Is it the 404 page on the front-end of your site? Or the WordPress ‘Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.’ error?
