    Hi,

    I am attempting to help someone who got a critical error after updating WordPress and using the MH theme.

    As far as I can tell, it has to do with Widgets, probably how that changed with the recent updates.

    This is the error message:

    Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function WP_Widget::__construct(), 0 passed in /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp-widget-factory.php on line 62 and at least 2 expected in /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp-widget.php:163 Stack trace: #0 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp-widget-factory.php(62): WP_Widget->__construct() #1 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-includes/widgets.php(115): WP_Widget_Factory->register('mh_custom_posts...') #2 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-content/themes/mh_magazine_deactivated/includes/mh-widgets.php(7): register_widget('mh_custom_posts...') #3 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(308): register_mh_widgets('') #4 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(332): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #5 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #6 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-includes/widgets.php(1854): do_action('widgets_init') #7 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(308): wp_widgets_init('') #8 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(332): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #9 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #10 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-settings.php(617): do_action('init') #11 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-config.php(101): require_once('/customers/5/0/...') #12 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-load.php(50): require_once('/customers/5/0/...') #13 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-admin/admin.php(34): require_once('/customers/5/0/...') #14 /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-admin/themes.php(10): require_once('/customers/5/0/...') #15 {main} thrown in /customers/5/0/7/atrejsemedboern.dk/httpd.www/wp-includes/class-wp-widget.php on line 163

    Hey @mr_eric_h,

    Can you please let us know which version of PHP is enabled on your server?

    Hey Harish, we’re at 8.0 it seems.

    Hey @mr_eric_h,

    Would it be possible to enable “WP Debug” and then share the “debug.log” error specific to our theme?

    Hey @mr_eric_h,
    Can you please remove the “MH Custom Posts” widget from any sidebar and let me know if that resolves the issue?
    At this point, I’m just trying to pinpoint the issue so I can replicate it.

    Do you know how to do that in PHPMyadmin, because I tried that, but I can’t get to the widgets at all if the theme is active.

    And they don’t seem to be there when the theme isn’t active.

    Hey @mr_eric_h,

    You need to remove the widget from the WordPress backend and not the database.
