Thanks for that. I’ll get in touch with the hosting folks.

Can you confirm – this was working fine in previous versions – didn’t get any message about exec() – was the requirement for exec a recent addition?

Interesting, I have exactly the same problem. I’m on a VPS so I’m pretty sure the server hasn’t had anything changed. Was fine before the upgrade, I now get the message:

EWWW Image Optimizer requires exec(). Your system administrator has disabled this function.

RT Theme 10

The solution: In case anyone faces the problem in future – the theme had it’s own ‘products’ functionality so didn’t like a page called ‘products’. I just had to delete the page, make a new one with a different name and normal service resumed!

Thanks for taking the time esmi.

Hi Esmi,

Thanks for the suggestions:

Disabling the plugins made no difference.
However, it looks like it may be theme specific. If I switch to 2011 theme I don’t get the 404 error. The page is still a little screwy because of the way the content is delivered via widgets but I’m assuming the lack of 404 indicates there is something wrong with the other theme. Would you say that’s a fair assumption to make?

@mikepote – thanks for that, exactly what I was after.

Hi Alan, thanks for the follow up. I really thought that would do it but alas no. I get the same blank space as before. (cue sad trombone noise)

Any further thoughts?

I happened across this blog post: https://spenserbaldwin.com/wordpress/categorys-of-current-post-in-wordpress/ and contacted the author who was gracious and kind enough to explain things a little further. So I now have this in the Widget Logic box:

$cats = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, 'category' ); if( count( $cats ) > 1 ){ if( is_category( 26 ) || is_single() && in_category( 26 ) ); }

Heeding the global $post point made by alanft I have also tried this:

global $post; $cats = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, 'category' ); if( count( $cats ) > 1 ){ if( is_category( 26 ) || is_single() && in_category( 26 ) ); }

But I don’t see the contact of the Widget, even on posts belonging to just a single category.

Can a seasoned PHP’er tell me which part I have wrong?

Hi alanft, thanks for that. Unfortunately, whilst I’m a 10th Dan Black Belt ‘Copy and Paste’ Master, my PHP skills are weak. Could you elaborate a little?

EDIT: In fact, I’m humbled slightly by realising you are indeed the Widget Logic Grandmaster himself *bows humbly*… Will get a donation over to your worthy cause in due course. Great plugin, especially if I had the PHP chops to get it to do what I need!

mrbdorr – thanks for that, just had the same problem and your steps sorted it quick smart. ??

You’re beautiful. Anyone ever tell you that? ?? Worked a charm. Thanks.
