Here they are together: * ``` [07-Sep-2020 02:20:58 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Maximum function nesting level of '256' reached, aborting! in /var/www/html/wp-content/object-cache.php:1798 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/wp-content/object-cache.php(1798): str_replace(':', '-', 'posts') #1 /var/www/html/wp-content/object-cache.php(1818): WP_Object_Cache->sanitize_key_part('posts') #2 /var/www/html/wp-content/object-cache.php(1781): WP_Object_Cache->is_global_group('posts') #3 /var/www/html/wp-content/object-cache.php(1332): WP_Object_Cache->build_key(141935, 'posts') #4 /var/www/html/wp-content/object-cache.php(114): WP_Object_Cache->get(141935, 'posts', false, NULL) #5 /var/www/html/wp-includes/class-wp-post.php(239): wp_cache_get(141935, 'posts') #6 /var/www/html/wp-includes/post.php(780): WP_Post::get_instance(141935) #7 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/pods/classes/PodsMeta.php(2950): get_post(141935) #8 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/pods/classes/PodsMeta.php(3043): PodsMeta->get_object('post_type', 141935) #9 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/pods/classes/PodsMeta.php in /var/www/html/wp-content/object-cache.php on line 1798 [07-Sep-2020 02:20:58 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Maximum function nesting level of '256' reached, aborting! in /var/www/html/wp-includes/plugin.php:923 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/wp-includes/plugin.php(923): spl_object_hash(Object(Tribe\Events\Views\V2\Hooks)) #1 /var/www/html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(172): _wp_filter_build_unique_id('tribe_get_optio...', Array, 10) #2 /var/www/html/wp-includes/plugin.php(281): WP_Hook->remove_filter('tribe_get_optio...', Array, 10) #3 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Views/V2/Hooks.php(739): remove_filter('tribe_get_optio...', Array, 10) #4 /var/www/html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(289): Tribe\Events\Views\V2\Hooks->filter_get_stylesheet_option(false, 'tribe_zoom_refr...') #5 /var/www/html/wp-includes/plugin.php(206): WP_Hook->apply_filters(false, Array) #6 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/common/src/functions/template-tags/general.php(29): apply_filters('tribe_get_optio...', false, 'tribe_zoom_refr...', false) #7 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/e in /var/www/html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 923 ``` * Plugin Author [Till Krüss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tillkruess/) * (@tillkruess) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redis-plugin-causes-maximum-function-nesting-level-error/#post-13373664) * Mhh.

From what I can see, when the cache plugin calls serialize() on the event post object here: * object-cache.php, line 2005: `return serialize( $data );` * it causes the following code to be run: * the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Models/Post_Types/Event.php, line 221: * ``` 'schedule_details' => ( new Lazy_String( static function () use ( $post_id ) { return tribe_events_event_schedule_details( $post_id ); }, false ) )->on_resolve( $cache_this ), ``` * which creates a loop. * Plugin Author [Till Krüss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tillkruess/) * (@tillkruess) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redis-plugin-causes-maximum-function-nesting-level-error/#post-13374240) * Can you open a GitHub issue on this? * Plugin Author [Till Krüss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tillkruess/) * (@tillkruess) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redis-plugin-causes-maximum-function-nesting-level-error/#post-13378988) * [https://github.com/rhubarbgroup/redis-cache/issues/270](https://github.com/rhubarbgroup/redis-cache/issues/270) * Plugin Author [Till Krüss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tillkruess/) * (@tillkruess) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redis-plugin-causes-maximum-function-nesting-level-error/#post-13378991) * Can you please post your full diagnostics data from the plugin settings? * Thread Starter [therealgilles](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chamois_blanc/) * (@chamois_blanc) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redis-plugin-causes-maximum-function-nesting-level-error/#post-13384950) * Hi Till, * Sorry for the delay. My development server that I use to run xdebug has been infected by the Kinsing malware and I have been trying to figure out how it was able to get in. * I added ‘tribe-events’ to the ignored groups for now.
