* Since the latest update EME is throwing an error of non numeric value at line
2042. I think this may be too do with the widget, as the event list still seems
to work.
* Is there a way to roll this update back?
* Thanks

* Update
* I don’t think it is a problem with the widget. The error appears on any page
using the following shortcode:
* `[eme_events show_recurrent_events_once=1 category=15 scope=future]`
* The errors appear at the very top of the page, after which the events do appear
as normal, so the shortcode itself is working, it is just the setup which appears
to be messed up.
* The line which is causing the error is:
`$orig_result_needle = $orig_result[
1]-$needle_offset;`
* Any help would be appreciated.
* Thanks

* Can you tell me the event list format template you’re using?
Can you reproduce
it on a page without the widget? I tried reproducing the error, but no luck so
far.

* Hi
* I have put the site into troubleshooting mode, so all other plugins are disabled
and a default theme is enabled. Widgets are also disabled. The error still happens.
* Below is the code I am using for the event list:
* `| #_STARTDATE{d M Y} #_STARTTIME | #_LINKEDNAME |
|---|
| #_EXCERPT |
|---|
`
* This is the code for the single event format:
* ```
#_STARTDATE at #_STARTTIME - #_ENDTIME
#_LOCATIONNAME
#_ADDRESS
#_TOWN #_ZIP
#_NOTES
#_MAP
#_DIRECTIONS
#_ADDBOOKINGFORM_IF_NOT_REGISTERED
#_REMOVEBOOKINGFORM_IF_REGISTERED
```
* The shortcode I am using is as below (different pages have same shortcode but
different category). When I edit a page like this the errors appear and then
disappear.
* `[eme_events show_recurrent_events_once=1 category=15 scope=future]`
* Do you need any more information? I will email you the page source for one of
the pages showing the error.
* Thanks

* I’m confused now. Rolling back to 2.2.66 hasn’t resolved the problem, which exists
even in troubleshooting mode. I may be wrong but my understanding of troubleshooting
mode is that it isolates just that plug-in you are troubleshooting. That certainly
seems to be how it looks. All other plug-ins are disabled and a default theme
is being used.
* Am I missing something?

* First, try version 2.2.65 (2.2.66 and 2.2.67 were released one day apart).
Next
to that: using your event list format, I was not able to trigger your error.
The best would be to try and reprocuce it on a “clean” site, so I can try to
reproduce it too then.

* Installing 2.2.65 worked Franky, thanks.
* Is there anything I can do to help find what has broken?

* Well, if you can reproduce it on a test site, that would help … because currently
I’m not able to reproduce the problem.
And – maybe that is related: what is
your php version?

* I’m guessing this is a php5 issue, but the next version will try to be more resilient
in the regex matching used. So for now I’ll mark this resolved.

* The website is on PHP v7.3.33. I will try to set up a staging site for you to
test.
* Thanks
