Hi @mbsharp,
Thanks for reaching out!
While checking on our setup we couldn’t replicate the issue while using the PHP 8.1 and NextGEN Gallery. I suggest you download a fresh copy of the latest NextGen Gallery and, then replace the one from your site’s Dashboard > Plugins > Add new plugin > Upload plugin > Choose File (with the files’ override when being asked) to see if that’ll fix the issue?
Re-installing NextGen Gallery wouldn’t affect your existing galleries.
Thanks!
Thanks for your reply. The issue reported is showing up on three different sites all with the same php and WP versions, and with fully up to date NGGallery. So I would rule out a code file corruption.
It might be related to the theme which is Weaver Xtreme in all three cases.
As it stands, the only operational problem is the creation of lines in the error log and the widgets do not display correctly in the block editor. It has been this way for a very long time ie, years, and across numerous NG versions. I can work around it.
Hi @mbsharp,
Thanks for the update,
As mentioned earlier, we couldn’t replicate the issue on our end while using the NextGEN Gallery, I suspect it to be an issue with the theme activated on all the three site of yours.
Could you please try once deactivating the theme Weaver Xtreme and check if it resolves the issue or not!
Also, with the upcoming NextGEN Gallery release, we will be fixing most of the PHP errors appearing with the plugin. So in case it’s related to the plugin, the issue might be resolved once the plugin is updated to the new version.
Thanks!
As Weaver Xtreme is the only theme I use and have loaded, I cannot deactivate it to test. Al the problem is relatively trivial I will just wait and see if it gets cured sometime.
I contacted Weaver Xtreme support. They suggested installing the Classic Widget plugin which reverts widget editing from the block editor to the classic editor. This proves to be the complete cure. No PHP errors thrown from the NextGen code now.
