Hi,

Thank you for reporting this.
Open : wp-content/plugins/congresslookup/getData.php

At line 52, replace

if($c->state_rank != "")

With

if(isset($c->state_rank) && $c->state_rank != "")

This should fix your problem.

Hamza

Hello,
Please update your “congresslookup/CongressLookup.php” file
with this:
https://pastebin.com/AXNWh28L

Update it directly from /wp-admin/options.php

Hi,
either the API key is not updated in the wp-admin or, their’s really something wrong with the key you have, try this one and let me know:
5c6c3e6ec01b4b649cd1dafd8c95d4c6

Sure of course,
I’m using XAMPP on windows,
in the C:\xampp\php\php.ini file
i have the error reporting set by default to :
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED

This will show all errors, except for notices and coding standards warnings (Code that will not work in future versions of PHP)

The show the notices use this:
error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT

create a file on your www ( htdocs ) folder and write

<?php
if($_GET[‘t’])
echo “Hello World!”;
?>

you should get this
Notice: Undefined index: t in C:\xampp\htdocs\post.php on line 2

when visiting
https://localhost/post.php

Hope this helps,
And sorry for my language ??

Best Regards.

Everything is ok on your side Trishah,
Your php configuration is configured by defaut to show notice errors
in your php.ini file i think you will have the error_reporting set to:
Default Value: E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

there’s other values it can take
Development Value: E_ALL | E_STRICT
Production Value: E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED

More details can be found here
https://php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php

but anyway, the developper of the plugin should verify if the variable exist first before using it, it’s only natural

in line 466
if($_POST[‘which’]==’new_portfolio_item’){

it should be
if(isset($_POST[‘which’]) && $_POST[‘which’]==’new_portfolio_item’){

You can do the same for the rest,

There’s another way to solve this but i don’t recommend it,
put this
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);
right after <?php at the beginning of the file

it will omit the notice errors but as i said i don’t recommend it, it’s better to fix them

Hope it helps.

Hello,
Thank you for reporting this,
As far as i can see, Google Maps is not loaded correctly in the page
Please open this file:
/wp-content/plugins/congresslookup/CongressLookup.php

Change this:
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false”></script&gt;

To this:
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false”></script&gt;

Apparently, it seems to be working,
I guess the problem was with the key been invalid

Hi There,

Sorry for late,
It’s an odd bug you found there, unfortunately i can’t do much without taking a look at what exactly going on,
the problem comes after getting the data from sunlightlabs API
$congress = @file_get_contents($api_call);

apparently the data returned is not an array or an object, so we will have so see what it actually returns,

Open getData.php file,
and right under
$congress = @file_get_contents($api_call);
put
print_r($congress);

Thanks
