Types with PHP 5.4?

Dear Oskarlin,

Usually corrupted data is because of menu_icon property,
if it’s changed manually in DB or replaced using some search&replace script.

If that is case, you should search for ‘wpcf-custom-types’ option in wp_options table and find something similar to:


s:9:"menu_icon";s:XX:"https://XXXXXX";


replace with:


s:9:"menu_icon";s:0:"";


You should do that for all occurrences.

Tell me if this helps.

Hi Oskarlin,
thank you for reporting that, we’ll have check with PHP 5.4.

Adriano, I’ve looked for “menu_icon” and my table already looks exactly like what I’m supposed to replace it with:

s:9:"menu_icon";s:0:"";

I have now tried installing a fresh WordPress site on PHP 5.4 and Types plugin on another place and everything works fine. So it doesn’t seem to be a problem with Types and 5.4 per se.

I wonder if it could have something to do with slug names or perhaps charset or encodings? For some old reason the char set is “latin1_swedish_ci” so maybe there’s something there? I then tried to change all “weird” letters in wpcf-custom-types option to standard ones but same problems occur.

Also for you to know, when accessing edit.php?post_type=myposttype on PHP 5.4 WordPress tells me “Invalid Post Type” as if it doesn’t exist anymore.

If I downgrade to 5.3 everything is back to normal.
