Thanks for the reply
We actually did use your plugin but selected categories instead of products.
As we only have 3 main categories we just added all 3 and it workes fine.
A wild card option would be nice if possible for people with alot of categories but this way worked for us.

Hi
Bit late reporting this … but I was wrong and it didnt fix the issue.

However I think I have foundd out what the problem was… (or I am talking rubish below!)

There was another plugin (WP User Manager) that had also created a public function called get_option_value

Once I disabled the WP User Manager the problem was resolved.

Just a suggestion: but perhaps if you prefix your public functions with a unique string it might help stop stop you bumping into other plugins e.g. wpel_get_option_value

I actually renamed the function in WP User Manager to wpum_get_option_value as there was only the function and 4 calls to it in one file (\wp-user-manager\vendor\htmlburger\carbon-fields\core\Field\Checkbox_Field.php) and reactivated it and both plugins work ok now ! … just testing not workable if change gets wiped on next update!

Any chance you can confirm this is the issue ? Thanks

Hi, Yes that fixed the issue
Thanks

Oh I see …

You are pushing WebFactory Ltd products onto the top of the Featured & therfore the Reccomended Plugins lists on the Add Plugins wp-admin page

I have to admit I always thought that that these lists were curated by www.remarpro.com!

So it wont affect the running of the External Links plugin … just make the Add Plugin page look ugly for some people.

BTW: The new version didnt completely resolve the issue for me it just changed the error to:

Warning: array_merge(): Argument #2 is not an array in <dirEditedForSecurity> spark/wp-content/plugins/wp-external-links/includes/admin/class-wpel-settings-page.php on line 152

shame… hoped that might be a pointer to a solution. ah well.
its more of an anoyance than an a problem !

Hi, I am getting the same error message in the admin of a test site I am working on … not noticed it on other sites !

Warnings only shown when I visit the Add Plugins page … its repeated 4 times in my case :

Warning: array_unshift() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in <URLeditedForSecurity>/spark/wp-content/plugins/wp-external-links/includes/admin/class-wpel-settings-page.php on line 135

WP 5.4.2, PHP 7.2.31

I see that the install dir in @dimalifragis isuue is possibly in a sub-dir /home/.
Mine is also in a sub dir. could it be happening only if WP is installed in a sub-dir ?

Plugin seems to work OK … just get this warning !?!

Thanks
