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!

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'); ?>
