Currently, it only retrieves logs for a single specific point type based on the `ctype` parameter. It would be beneficial if the ‘ctype’ parameter could accept an array of point types instead of just a single type. * Thanks. * [Daniyal Raza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daniyalraza01/) * (@daniyalraza01) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php8-php-fatal-error-uncaught-typeerror-sha1/#post-16997324) * Hey [@thesun2012](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thesun2012/) , * Glad to hear that. * Currently, this functionality is not available in our plugin. Please explain more what you want to achieve by accepting an array of point types in myCRED_Query_Log. We need to see the possibilities to do some custom coding. * Thanks * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thesun2012/) * (@thesun2012) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php8-php-fatal-error-uncaught-typeerror-sha1/#post-16997439) * I’ve integrated the plugin into my premium theme, complete with a custom user dashboard. The context is that my customers are interested in creating additional point types beyond the default. We have a table displaying all available logs. However, as you’re already aware, the class doesn’t currently support retrieving logs for all point types simultaneously, this is not good, for instance [https://nimb.ws/EszA2u](https://nimb.ws/EszA2u) * Currently, we’ve implemented a selection field that enables users to query logs using the ‘ctype’ parameter. However, it might be a better approach to avoid assigning a default type for the ‘ctype’ parameter within the ‘parse_args’ function of the myCRED_Query_Log class or to allow accepting an array with multiple types. This would enhance the class’s flexibility. * I hope you understand what I mean. - This reply was modified 2 years, 9 months ago by [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thesun2012/). * [Daniyal Raza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daniyalraza01/) * (@daniyalraza01) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php8-php-fatal-error-uncaught-typeerror-sha1/#post-16998092) * Hey [@thesun2012](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thesun2012/) , * You can use global variable $mycred_types in myCRED_Query_Log * global $mycred_types; * $args = array( ‘number’ => 10,‘ctype’ => $mycred_types); * $log = new myCRED_Query_Log( $args ); * You will get all point types with $log->args[‘ctype’] in array format * With this code you will get all point types. Then, you can use these values and make it work as per your requirement. This is just an example. * Let me know if you have any questions. * Thanks * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thesun2012/) * (@thesun2012) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php8-php-fatal-error-uncaught-typeerror-sha1/#post-16998192) * Thank you for sharing the information.

However, the `ctype` parameter only accepts a string for a specific type. This implies that we cannot display logs for all point types simultaneously. I’m uncertain if my explanation is clear. For instance, I have two types: `default_type` and `custom_type`. At this moment, my goal is to retrieve all logs associated with these types without depending on the selection field via the GET method. * Thank you. - This reply was modified 2 years, 9 months ago by [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thesun2012/). * [Daniyal Raza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daniyalraza01/) * (@daniyalraza01) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php8-php-fatal-error-uncaught-typeerror-sha1/#post-17000509) * Hello [@thesun2012](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thesun2012/) , * Hope you are doing well. * In our documentation, we have mentioned that ctype value can be an array or string with examples.
