    I’m upgraded to WordPress 4.0, am using version 0.57 of widget logic. The upgrade devastated my installation! Nothing comes up when I visit the home page, and this can be found in the error_log:

    [30-Sep-2014 21:02:17 UTC] WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 1 for query SELECT post_parent FROM wp_posts WHERE ID = made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘init’), call_user_func_array, wp_widgets_init, register_widget, WP_Widget_Factory->register, WP_Widget_Recent_Comments->__construct, is_active_widget, wp_get_sidebars_widgets, apply_filters(‘sidebars_widgets’), call_user_func_array, widget_logic_filter_sidebars_widgets, eval, get_parent_name_by_page_id

    on the face of it, that doesn’t LOOK like a widget logic issue. it’s talking about a SQL error, and widget logic doesn’t play near DB stuff

    So are you saying that with widget logic deactivated the problem goes away?

    Hi there, thanks for the response!

    It turns out there was a widget that had a custom function in it. The logic in the widget did something like this:

    function some_function($post_id)
    {
    //make a wordpress DB query using $post_id
    }
    global $post;
    some_function($post->ID);

    The problem is that $post, for the page being rendered, was an integer representing the post id, and not the actual $post object as would have been expected! Not sure why that is, but I got rid of the logic and everything worked again.
