PHP Warning

Hi there,
I noticed a PHP Warning in my debug log:

PHP Warning: preg_match(): Unknown modifier ‘t’ in /home/comicboo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-lister-ebay/classes/core/WPL_Core.php on line 138

AI recommended this fix, but I don’t intend on changing any plugin files, thought I should share in case you were unaware of the php warning 🙂

Line 138:

if ( preg_match( “/$staging_site_pattern/”, $url ) ) { return true; }

The variable $staging_site_pattern likely contains a URL or a file path (e.g., staging/site). Because the code uses forward slashes / as delimiters, the first / found inside your URL/path terminates the expression, and the character immediately following it (the t in http:// or staging/site) is treated as an invalid modifier [1, 2].

To fix this, change the delimiters to a character that won’t appear in a URL, such as #.

The Fix

Replace the code in /home/comicboo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-lister-ebay/classes/core/WPL_Core.php on line 138 with this:

if ( preg_match( "#" . preg_quote($staging_site_pattern, '#') . "#", $url ) ) {
    return true;
}

Cheers
