Last page of wp_pagenavi strips out footer.php and other errors WordPress

  • SOLVED

Hello,

I'm using a simple wp_query and two plugins: Advanced Custom Fields and wp_pagenavi.

For some reason the final page (5, in this case) is stripping out my footer code. I've also noticed that a stray list item is hanging around at the end of my query, but it doesn't contain any markup. Oddly enough, the first 4 generated pages of these posts display just fine. The footer shows up and there are no stray list item.

Here is the link to the problem page: [[LINK href="http://www.kenshoo.com/news-and-events/events/page/5"]]http://www.kenshoo.com/news-and-events/events/page/5[[/LINK]]

Please help! I've pasted my template code at [[LINK href="http://pastebin.com/dv97Wbjw"]]Pastebin.[[/LINK]]

Jarret Minkler answers:

The problem isn't with ->format() its saying that the object, perhaps $date, is not an object. So you have to figure out why $date isn't a data object.

After the $date = ... line put in this

var_dump(DateTime::getLastErrors());

My guess is something is wrong in creating the date and instead of returning a date object it returns false (perhaps that post/event is missing the date?)


so, you could modify the code as

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field( 'event_start_date' ));
if ($date) { echo '/ ' . $date->format('F d, Y'); } ?>


Other solutions would be to check all the event dates, or modify the query not to return events without the start date

'meta_value' => ' ',
'meta_compare' => '!=',

That solved it Jarret! What's bizarre is that I have a duplicate staging site that I test most of my code on, and it's working just fine. But on this live version, which is 100% identical, it doesn't work.

Regardless, you fixed it. Thank you!

Open wp-config.php file from your websites root location and change

search for

define('WP_DEBUG', false);


and make it true

define('WP_DEBUG', true);


So we can see what errors you are getting on that page. You are getting errors after the pagination code so footer is not displaying.


Dave Schmidt comments:

I turned on the debug and turned it off since this is a test site. Here is what was returned:

FATAL ERROR: CALL TO A MEMBER FUNCTION FORMAT() ON A NON-OBJECT IN /VAR/WWW/VHOSTS/KENSHOOSOCIAL.COM/KENSHOO/DIGITALMARKETINGTECHNOLOGY/WP-CONTENT/THEMES/KENSHOO/PAGE-NEWS-AND-EVENTS.PHP ON LINE 100


Nilesh shiragave comments:

Do you have a format() function in your event class? You are getting error at line


echo '/ ' . $date->format('F d, Y');


Nilesh shiragave comments:

Just comment out that line so we can test rest of your code is working or not.

like


// echo '/ ' . $date->format('F d, Y');


Dave Schmidt comments:

I don't really know what a format() function is. I'm just re-using code that I've used on other sites.


Dave Schmidt comments:

It's commented out, and the page does work.


Nilesh shiragave comments:

Great.. so we have error on that function.

Please add following line just below that line which we commented out.


echo $date;


Dave Schmidt comments:

Added. Now it strips all the content out.


Nilesh shiragave comments:

how you added that?

show me your full code. also show me events code which you are using.


Dave Schmidt comments:

Here is a [[LINK href="http://pastebin.com/TsXmdx4S"]]pastebin[[/LINK]] link. This is all the code in my page template. I need to sign off the computer until tomorrow. Thank you for your help, and sorry I can't stay online. I had to put the dates back in, as the site is live and the client wants to see the dates.

Thank you!


Nilesh shiragave comments:

What PHP version you have on your server? You must have PHP 5.3 +


Nilesh shiragave comments:

I think you have PHP version 5.2 on your server. Just upgrade your PHP version to 5.3 + and your problem will be solved.


Nilesh shiragave comments:

Just change time format on line


$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field( 'event_start_date' ));
echo '/ ' . $date->format('F d, Y');


Change YMD to j-M-Y like


$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('j-M-Y', get_field( 'event_start_date' ));
echo '/ ' . $date->format('F d, Y');


And your code will work and date will be displayed.


Dave Schmidt comments:

Changing the format to j-M-Y doesn't do anything.

And just confirmed that we're running PHP 5.3.

Oddly enough, when I remove the argument 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num' the errors disappear. Although, of course, the posts are not organized as we want them.

Daniel Yoen answers:

You use Custom Page for Events ?

I don't see footer code here

please check <?php wp_footer(); ?>at tha bottom of this page(events)


Daniel Yoen comments:

Depends on your error code, try to comment this line :

<?php
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field( 'event_start_date' ));
echo '/ ' . $date->format('F d, Y'); ?>
