Various widget & block related PHP errors

  • I have updated to WP 5.8 and am using PHP 7.4 and am seeing various PHP warnings & errors relating to blocks and widgets.

    I have already changed the definition of ABSPATH in my wp-config.php file from:
    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
    to
    define('ABSPATH', __DIR__ . '/');

    I am aware that WP 5.8 introduced new widget blocks but I have not started using that feature. I am assuming I do not have to install the classic widgets plugin for existing pages to continue working?

    Below is a summary of the errors being logged. Any help will be much appreciated.

    (E1) Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'WP_Widget' not found in /home/xxx...xxx/wp-includes/widgets/class-wp-widget-block.php:17

(E2) Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'ABSPATHWPINC/blocks/archives.php' (include_path='.:/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/share/pear') in /home/xxx...xxx/wp-includes/blocks/index.php on line 9

(E3) Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_the_block_template_html() in /home/xxx...xxx/wp-includes/template-canvas.php:12

    I am also seeing warnings that might give a clue

    (W1) Warning: require(ABSPATHWPINC/blocks/archives.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxx...xxx/wp-includes/blocks/index.php on line 9

(W2) Warning: Use of undefined constant WPINC - assumed 'WPINC' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /home/xxx...xxx/wp-includes/blocks/index.php on line 9

(W3) Warning: Use of undefined constant ABSPATH - assumed 'ABSPATH' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /home/antipole/public_html/ovni-owners/wp-includes/blocks/index.php on line 9

    I also had issues with 5.8 because the new widgets manager was causing problems. I went ahead and installed the classic widgets plugin and it fixed everything. I’d give that a go.

    Installed the classic widgets plugin and it may have helped a bit but I am still seeing errors and warnings above.

    Same here. I have classic widgets plugin installed but have:

    PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'WP_Widget' not found
    PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'ABSPATHWPINC/blocks/archives.php'
    PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_the_block_template_html()

    Using php 7.4 (not sure if that’s relative) but my 30+ WordPress sites all have errors like this:

    [04-Jan-2022 15:45:11 UTC] PHP Warning:  Use of undefined constant ABSPATH - assumed 'ABSPATH' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /wp-includes/blocks/index.php on line 9

    Is it stopping the normal operations of your website?

    (E3) Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_the_block_template_html() in /home/xxx...xxx/wp-includes/template-canvas.php:12

    This error is probably caused by a direct call to https://example.com/wp-includes/template-canvas.php

    Nothing to be worried about, but it would be nice if WordPress prevented direct calls like that.

    Hello,

    I am also getting the same php errors and warnings on my site. Is there a fix for this problem? Thanks

    We still getting these errors on many sites. Is there no solution yet?

    I getting the same error on version 6.0.

    Sometimes my clients’ orders appear with the date 01/Jan/1970, I can’t understand why this happens, e.g. in a total of more than 100 orders one or another fails.

    So I updated the Woocommerce database to try to fix this and I also got these errors:

    Someone knows about this errors?

    Thanks a lot!
