Site down since update

Just another user here but my suggestion is that if you are using a Child version, just re-upload the main Enfold theme folder. if you have the previous version somewhere you are golden.

PS I believe Envato is delivering 4.1 still so…

This happens on some of the sites I’m updating, even when disabling plugins. For other sites I’m able to update without issue. Not sure what would cause this?

I have tried to comment line 2556 and my site is up again,
just change line 2556 from
if( ! empty( trim( $matches[5][ $key ][0] ) ) )
to
//if( ! empty( trim( $matches[5][ $key ][0] ) ) )

let me know if it works

Just noticed another site I run that’s down.
Not sure yet why, but I can’t even login.
Maybe the same problem?

Hi there, I think I have the same problem, having this error displayed at the bottom of the site. Need help!

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method aviaShortcodeTemplate::__destruct() in /homepages/3/d719369078/htdocs/app719565835/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/audio-player.php:53 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: avia_sc_audio_player->__destruct() #1 {main} thrown in /homepages/3/d719369078/htdocs/app719565835/wp-content/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/audio-player.php on line 53

Also, I cannot work on my pages anymore. They don’t show. At the bottom it says this:

Thanks for quick help!

Hello, thank you for answering. I use PHP 7.1

Any luck with this issue? I have it, too.

It’s the PHP version your host is running. Needs to be 7.1 or higher. The devs included something in this update which requires that. They should have tested it and had that in mind, but for whatever reason they didn’t consider that some people might not know.

Your options are to manually update the PHP version, ask your host to update it, or revert back to the old version of Enfold and wait until the release a patch update.

Well… For those still experiencing this, the WP admin logins won’t work. This breaks both the front and back end. But the error message that comes up is in regard to the shortcode handler. A PHP upgrade fixes it. I’d assume most of those who had this issue have fixed it. Maybe there are some who haven’t though.

@yigit you would have to downgrade to PHP 5.4 to reproduce the issue. Other than stated by some participants you don’t need PHP 7.x to solve a ‘Can’t use function return value in write context’ issue. PHP 5.5 would theoretically be enough. However since 5.5 is EOL and 5.6 as well as 7.0 will be EOL end of 2018 it is recommended to upgrade PHP to 7.1.

The ‘Can’t use function return value in write context’ issue stems from the way you use empty(). Prior to PHP 5.5 only variables (strings) could be used within empty(). Starting with PHP 5.5 functions can be used. Enfold tests whether a trimmed array element is empty. Trim() is a function and therefore PHP 5.4 fails. PHP 5.4 is EOL since nearly 2.5 years. Unfortunately according to wordpress.org 25% of all WordPress installation still run on PHP 5.4 and smaller!

If I would be Christian I would disallow the theme activation if PHP is smaller than 5.6. For PHP less than 7.1 I would throw a warning notice about the upcoming end of life and suggest an update. If the top ten theme developers would form an alliance against outdated PHP versions such issues would never happen again. WordPress (the core development team) seems not brave enough to take this road.

@yigit,

I haven’t actually run the updates yet so the site is still up. I was going to let you connect and use the site as a test. If you would like me to try, I can do that but it won’t be right away.

I have downloaded the file so that I will have it on hand when I do.

Thank you!

Opps wrong thread. I will check FTP and update the other thread.
