Hi – I have long used the rss feed capability to trigger mailchimp to send an email to subscribers when a new blog post is published on my site. Sometime between Nov 17 and today that functionality broke. I am theorizing that it was either the switch to PHP 8 or the update to Enfold 4.8.8 which triggered this.
If you go to http://www.thomashenthorne.com/rss or http://www.thomashenthorne.com/feed you see this error:

This page contains the following errors:
error on line 46 at column 60: Opening and ending tag mismatch: description line 44 and title

Mystery solved… this a PHP 8 problem. I downgraded the site to PHP 7.4 and the RSS feed came back.
Looks like there’s some code in my child functions.php which is causing problems.
More info in private content.

Thanks

Hi,

Adding your code to my function.php the only thing I see are the ” ‘ “.

I modified the code to get a valid syntax on my install (see below).
Can you try that.

What is line 55 in your code above ?

Best regards,
Günter

Hi Günter, thanks for your response!

Line 55 is:

$content = ‘<div>’ . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, array( ‘width’=>300, ‘height’=> 300 ), array( ‘style’ => ‘margin-bottom: 15px;’ ) ) . ‘</div>’ . $content;

It works fine with the earlier PHP version. Should I go ahead and try the new code or do you see something above that changes that?

Thanks,
Rob

Hi,

Strange. The only idea I have is that the ” ‘ ” are not the usual ASCII single quote but something different and PHP 8 does not accept that any longer.

Please try my new code.

Best regards,
Günter
