Fatal error / chron issue since version 2.7.5

Resolved

(@lorigregor)

After updating to the most recent version, 2.7.5, we got a chron error when one of our pieces of content was set to expire. After checking the error log we saw this repeated several times:

[20-Jun-2022 20:50:01 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to a member function save() on boolean in /htdocs/wp-content/plugins/post-expirator/post-expirator.php:804
Stack trace:

#4 {main}
  thrown in /htdocs/wp-content/plugins/post-expirator/post-expirator.php on line 804

We reverted the plugin and it seems to be working now, but we won’t be able to update until this issue is solved. I don’t know much about what is happening, but was asked to report it to your support.

Hi @lorigregor,
thanks for your report!

Do you have Debug logging enabled? This option is available in Settings > Diagnostics

I see you have a new version rolled out that might fix this. I also wasn’t aware we had debug turned on, so thank you for asking and making me look. I’m going to work on our websites this afternoon and I can let you know if the problem is now solved.

I tried with both the debug set to false and true with the latest version of the plugin installed, but it does not seem to be expiring our content.

Hi @lorigregor,

Please, could you try the following beta package?

Thanks

I discovered that we had “define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);” in our wp-config file, so I commented that out and it seems to be doing ok again. I installed the 2.7.7-beta and it also seems to be ok, but I still have that line commented out in wp-config. I have not been the one troubleshooting cron issues on our site so I don’t know how all of that works, but maybe our file was the issue conflicting with your new plugin version?

Hi @lorigregor

If you had that line in your wp-config file, that pretty much solves this issue.

Please re-open the issue if problems occur again.
