 * Same here in Pro Version. Hope, this is getting fixed soon as it also happened
   in production environment.

 * Hey guys.
 * This line contains the `??` operator, which is introduced in the PHP 7.0 [https://github.com/nk-crew/lazy-blocks/blob/a4219fcf9cbe111a2915fa528f6bf1f0462f35ac/classes/class-blocks.php#L1447C13-L1447C13](https://github.com/nk-crew/lazy-blocks/blob/a4219fcf9cbe111a2915fa528f6bf1f0462f35ac/classes/class-blocks.php#L1447C13-L1447C13)
 * Not sure it is a problem because our plugin requires PHP 7.2

 * We use php 8.1., so that is not the issue. My error message is a bit different,
   but it’s caused by the same file:
 * Error Type E_ERROR in line 7 of the file xxxx/wp-content/plugins/lazy-blocks-
   pro/core-plugin/classes/class-blocks.php(1359) : eval()’d code causes error:

 * Hi [@markusmai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markusmai/),
 * Your case is different. Your error leads to this line [https://github.com/nk-crew/lazy-blocks/blob/v3.4.0/classes/class-blocks.php#L1359C24-L1359C24](https://github.com/nk-crew/lazy-blocks/blob/v3.4.0/classes/class-blocks.php#L1359C24-L1359C24)
 * This eval function is used when you add a string with PHP code to render your
   block output. Something is wrong in your block output code and since it is rendered
   using eval it is hard to debug what exactly is failed.
 * Try to change your block code to the functional callback or template render to
   better understand what happens.

 * Okay, thank you. I think I can track that back to one of the custom blocks, where
   we used a different output method for the editor view.
   Best regards,Markus

 * I tracked the issue back to a bunch of blocks, which all use the post selector.
   Since the last plugin update (June 30th) I cannot use them any more like I could
   before. I see an error in the editor as well, when I try to add them. When I 
   update the plugin to the latest version (July 6th), I get a plugin has no header
   issue and also a plugin error I posted in my reply here and wordpress changes
   to recovery mode.
 * I followed you suggested options and switched the blocks to php code in functions.
   php instead of the admin interface ony my staging environment, but this only 
   solved the plugin error in the plugin list. I cannot add the blocks anymore, 
   like I could in the versions before.
 * Regarding the blocks, I have a post selector, where users can choose the posts
   they want to display in this block. In the combined code for FE & BE I go through
   that selected post objects via foreach like your documentation shows, I check
   for post_thumbnail and build a post grid with the selected posts and print them
   out via echo post by post.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <?php 
       foreach( $attributes['post-obj-select'] as $post_selects ):
   
       /** Check Post_Thumbnail **/
        if (has_post_thumbnail( $post_selects->ID ) ) {
          $img = get_the_post_thumbnail_url( $post_selects->ID, "post-teaser" );
        } else {
          $img = 'data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==';
        }
   
       echo '<a href="'.get_the_permalink($post_selects->ID).'"><img class="img-responsive wp-image-'.$post_selects->ID.'" src="'.$img.'" /><h4>'.esc_html($post_selects->post_title).'</h4></a>';
   
       endforeach; 
       ?> 
       ```
   
 * When I use the code without the block environment as vanilla php, I don’t get
   any errors or warnings. Why is this causing troubles? The Log file only tells
   me about the eval()’d issue. All I changed is the version of the plugin.
 * Thank you for any advice, how I can solve this issue.

 * Hi [@markusmai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markusmai/),
 * I don’t know actually why do you get so many problems with the plugin, but if
   you talking about the Posts control, you most probably purchased the Pro plugin.
 * Please, create a support ticket in our ticket system for Pro customers – [https://nk.ticksy.com/](https://nk.ticksy.com/)
 * Regards,
   Nikita.
