Title: Error while attempting to save Access rules Last modified: December 13, 2022 --- # Error while attempting to save Access rules * Resolved [midwestdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/midwestdev/) * (@midwestdev) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-while-attempting-to-save-access-rules/) * Hey there, just wanted to let you know that I encountered an error while trying to save access rules, I double checked it again by going in and attempting to change access rules and saving. Here’s what I get from WordPress: * ``` WordPress version 6.1.1 Active theme: Custom Theme (version 1.0) Current plugin: Age Gate (version 3.1.1) PHP version 8.1.13 Error Details ============= An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 171 of the file /www/wp-content/plugins/age-gate/vendor/asylum/validation/src/Validator.php. Error message: Uncaught TypeError: Asylum\Validation\Validator::is_valid(): Argument #1 ($data) must be of type array, null given, called in /www/wp-content/plugins/age-gate/src/Admin/Controller/AccessController.php on line 46 and defined in /www/wp-content/plugins/age-gate/vendor/asylum/validation/src/Validator.php:171 Stack trace: #0 /www/wp-content/plugins/age-gate/src/Admin/Controller/AccessController.php(46): Asylum\Validation\Validator::is_valid(NULL, Array) #1 /www/wp-content/plugins/age-gate/vendor/agegate/common/src/Admin/AbstractController.php(73): AgeGate\Admin\Controller\AccessController->store(Array) #2 /wordpress/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(308): AgeGate\Common\Admin\AbstractController->AgeGate\Common\Admin\{closure}('') #3 /wordpress/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(332): WP_Hook->apply_filters('', Array) #4 /wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #5 /wordpress/wp-admin/admin-post.php(85): do_action('admin_post_age_...') #6 {main} thrown ``` * Also, I couldn’t access the custom CSS through the customizer like your instructions said. The theme is custom, and I’m a developer, is there anything extra I need to do to get that back?

Let me know if there’s another solution you’d like me to try. Thanks! * Plugin Author [Phil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philsbury/) * (@philsbury) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-while-attempting-to-save-access-rules/#post-16289759) * Ah, sorry! It just uses the built-in “Additional CSS” one now as our own css editor was disallowed as it duplicated built in features. * Thanks Phil * Thread Starter [midwestdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/midwestdev/) * (@midwestdev) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-while-attempting-to-save-access-rules/#post-16290337) * Alright, sorry it wasn’t entirely clear if it was going to have it’s own space in the customizer so that it only loads when the Age Gate loads or not. Appreciate the info, thanks.
