PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method wpdb::parse_db_host()

Resolved

(@borkenkaefer)

I use mailpoet on a debian linux system together with the packaged wordpress version of debian (version 4.7.5).

Starting from mailpoet version 24.0 a fatal php error is thrown. I think something with reading the db configuration changed. Any suggestions or fixes?

In wp-config.php the database is configured like this: define('DB_HOST', '10.0.5.11');

Hello @borkenkaefer,

Thank you for the issue report, apologies for the inconvenience.
$wpdb::parse_db_host() has actually been added in WordPress 4.9.x and is not available in older WordPress versions.
We did not add appropriate guards by mistake.

Two options to resolve this issue:
a) Please upgrade to WordPress 4.9 or newer
b) Please downgrade the MailPoet 3 plugin down to 3.23.2

We would recommend you to upgrade to the newest WordPress version you can, as they also include security fixes and other improvements.

Thank you for your answer and your suggestions.

a) is not an option and debians wordpress packages also includes security fixes, so no reason to upgrade for the moment. I probably will stick with b) for the moment or maybe I’ll create my own parse_db_host().

Please adapt the required wordpress version on https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/mailpoet/ and for the future, please specify such changes in the changelog.
