Title: Events Settings error Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Events Settings error * Resolved [dplit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dplit/) * (@dplit) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-settings-error/) * Good afternoon. We’ve ran into a little problem. When we go to settings>events settings we get the following error and aren’t able to enter database info, any suggestions? * Strict Standards: Non-static method settingsPage::getExternals() should not be called statically in /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/meetingrooms/wp-content/ plugins/book-a-room-event-calendar/bookaroom-events-settings.php on line 6 Fatal error: Call to undefined function mcrypt_get_iv_size() in /var/www/clients/client1/ web1/web/meetingrooms/wp-content/plugins/book-a-room-event-calendar/bookaroom- events.php on line 180 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/book-a-room/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/book-a-room/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-settings-error/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-settings-error/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Contributor [Colin M Tomele](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maniacalv/) * (@maniacalv) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-settings-error/#post-7186456) * The Strict Standards warning usually means another plugin or theme is declaring the DOCTYPE wrong. This isn’t an error but a warning. * The second problem deals with the version of PHP you are using. Do you know what version it is? It doesn’t look like your version or installation has a function called mcrypt_get_iv_size. I’m looking in to alternative methods to replace this, but I do want to check to see what version you have. * Thread Starter [dplit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dplit/) * (@dplit) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-settings-error/#post-7186463) * PHP version is 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.14 * Plugin Contributor [Colin M Tomele](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maniacalv/) * (@maniacalv) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-settings-error/#post-7186469) * I am uploading a new version that removes the function definitions that are causing the problem. It should be live soon. 10.0.13. Can you let me know if it helps?

That function definition shouldn’t be there anymore. * Thread Starter [dplit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dplit/) * (@dplit) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-settings-error/#post-7186677) * Yep, same error…. * Strict Standards: Non-static method settingsPage::getExternals() should not be called statically in /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/meetingrooms/wp-content/ plugins/book-a-room-event-calendar/bookaroom-events-settings.php on line 6 Fatal error: Call to undefined function mcrypt_get_iv_size() in /var/www/clients/client1/ web1/web/meetingrooms/wp-content/plugins/book-a-room-event-calendar/bookaroom- events.php on line 180 * Plugin Contributor [Colin M Tomele](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maniacalv/) * (@maniacalv) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-settings-error/#post-7186678) * Ahhh. That error is in the other plugin, the Events Plugin, not the core Book a Room. Let me update that one, too. * Plugin Contributor [Colin M Tomele](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maniacalv/) * (@maniacalv) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-settings-error/#post-7186679) * I am using mcrypt, which is not in stock PHP. I have to look at what I can use that is stock for PHP and still secure. I’ll keep you informed. * Thread Starter [dplit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dplit/) * (@dplit) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-settings-error/#post-7186681) * sounds good, thanks. * Plugin Author [Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library Webdeveloper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chuhpl/) * (@chuhpl) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/events-settings-error/#post-7186682) * The new version should be live.
