That did it. No error message, and everything seems to be working fine so far.

Thanks for your help and patience with this. If I can provide any other useful info, let me know.

I’ve still got “forceoff” loaded, and I’ve been able to turn off all the individual modules without triggering the white error screen except Firewall and Audit Trail.

So to recap:

• global plugin on/off is OFF
• all modules are OFF except Firewall and Audit Trail
• trying to turn off Firewall and/or Audit Trail triggers white error page with the same fatal error text as above (though sometimes the line number has been 1209 instead of 1129)
• fatal error message text still appears at the bottom of all pages, front-end and dashboard

I uploaded the forceOff file. The “Warning- Shield is not currently running” message is displayed, but I’m still getting the same results: the global on/off switch works, but has no effect on the error message. All attempts to turn off individual modules results in the white error message screen.

I’ve tried deactivating the other plugins I’m using to identify a conflict, but the error message stays with every combination of active plugins that includes Shield, even if Shield is the only active plugin.

Here are the other plugins I’m using on the site:
Advanced Custom Fields
Akismet
Email Address Encoder

Results:

Global Plugin On/Off: after save, went to white page with error message. Refreshed the page and clicked continue on the “content form resubmission” dialog box that appeared. The page reloaded and all features of the plugin were deactivated, but the error message remains.

Turning the global plugin switch on again works fine – no white screen/error message page, all modules reactivated, but the error message still displays at the bottom.

All other modules: trying to save any changes results in the white screen with error message. Reloading the page and resubmitting the form has no effect. When I manually return to the dashboard page, there is a “Shield options have been updated” message, but no changes have been made to the settings.

The Security Admin and HTTP Headers modules were already switched off when I noticed the issue. Before I contacted you, I was able to switch off the Hack Protection module after several attempts, but the error message didn’t go away.

Trying to reactivate any individual module leads to the same white screen with error message.

I was just about to post the exact same question. I can display CPTs on a page and/or make a simple archive page of ascending or descending custom posts by copying and renaming the archive template, but when I try to make a yearly archive, I either get regular blog posts (non-CPT) or 404.

I even tried using the Custom Post Types Archives plugin, and that generated links for the years, but the links went 404 as well. I tried all the fixes for the plugin and had no luck, hence my interest in a non-plugin-related solution. Also it *seems* like it should be a pretty basic thing to do.

Anyone have any info?

Thanks, alchymyth. That worked perfectly. I figured it would be something obvious I was missing.

A note to anyone else who runs into the same problem:
in the if statement, when I used is_home to target my Blog page and is_front_page to target my static home page (titled ‘Welcome’, also set through the Reading settings), I got the same image on both pages. Switching the if statement back to is_page('Welcome') put the images in the right places.
