Title: Multisite crash update 2.4 Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Multisite crash update 2.4 * ResolvedPlugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/) * Hi, the new pods update (2.4) crashes after update. I’m not updating to wordpress 3.9.1 because of multisite problems. Error: * Fatal error: Class ‘PodsForm’ not found -> pods/classes/PodsAPI.php on line 1122 * I’ve degraded pods tot 2.3.18 now and it works again. * Please let me know if you have any news on this. thanks! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * Plugin Contributor [Josh Pollock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shelob9/) * (@shelob9) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906699) * I just tried updating a network site running Pods 2.3.18 and WordPress 3.9 to Pods 2.4 and I received no errors. I can’t think of why the class PodsForm wouldn’t exist. Possibly an interrupted download. Can you try again in a testing environment and see if that works? * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906719) * Updates to WordPress 3.9.1 and tried the Pods update again. No luck though, Pods 2.4 still breaks my multisite. * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906720) * Perhaps usefull. * My other modules: – Addthis Smart Layers – Blog Copier – Codepress Admin Columns– Disable Comments – Genesis Simple Edits – Genesis Translations – Multisite Enhancements– Responsive Lightbox – TinyMCE Advanced – WordPress MU Domain Mapping – WordPress SEO (Yoast) – WP Mail SMTP * My theme is build on the Genesis framework. * But I still doubt that this will influence the behaviour of the PodsAPI. * Plugin Contributor [Josh Pollock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shelob9/) * (@shelob9) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906722) * Jory- * Have you tried doing the update with no other plugins active? * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906768) * Deactivating plugins will break the multisite aswell. I’ve done a full re-install, and it still breaks. * The 2.3.18 version also has problems with the PodsForm class at the Widget section( after the PodsForm widget is stops loading and I can’t edit any widgets anymore). * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906773) * Problem with 2.3.18 is fixed, file was somehow not complete. Tried to update to 2.4 again after this fix. Still the same fatal error. * Plugin Contributor [Josh Pollock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shelob9/) * (@shelob9) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906794) * Is this the same error about the class PodsForm? The only thing that would be causing that is if the file was incomplete. You can use the security plugin WordFence to scan for plugin and theme files that are different from the version in the WordPress.org repository. That might be a good test and isn’t a bad practice in general. * [maiki](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maiki/) * (@maiki) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906803) * I run a little over a dozen multisite networks, all of which have Pods. Never any issues with upgrades. However, of the list of plugins you have, I only use Domain Mapping and SEO (Yoast). I once used Multisite Enhancements, but that plugin caused a lot of issues for me, so I stopped. * If I were debugging this, I would turn off everything that is non-essential, and try that. Although what ya really need to is to copy the site and database to a test instance, so you can really go nuts there (ie turn off all the other plugins). * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906805) * Allright, found it! * Please comment on what I did since I don’t know wether it will break future updates. * File: init.php (pods root) * Line 135 to 140. * ``` if ( false !== pods_compatibility_check() && !is_network_admin()) { $pods_form = pods_form(); $pods_init = pods_init(); } ``` * I changed this to: * ``` $pods_form = pods_form(); if ( false !== pods_compatibility_check() && !is_network_admin()) { $pods_init = pods_init(); } ``` * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906806) * Oh, and thanks for the tip about WordFence! That helped a lot! * Plugin Contributor [Josh Pollock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shelob9/) * (@shelob9) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906812) * I’m glad to see you got this working. I’m wondering why that conditional would have failed for you. Scott will have to take a look at that. * [Benjamin Pongy AXOME](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redpik/) * (@redpik) * [11 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906928) * Thanx Jory, +1 for your patch 🙂 * Plugin Author [Scott Kingsley Clark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sc0ttkclark/) * (@sc0ttkclark) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906968) * To be addressed here: * [https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/issues/825#issuecomment-56620588](https://github.com/pods-framework/pods/issues/825#issuecomment-56620588) * Plugin Author [Jory Hogeveen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/keraweb/) * (@keraweb) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-crash-update-24/#post-4906979) * I have got the same crash again with the 2.5.1.2 update. * Changed this: * ``` if ( false !== pods_compatibility_check() ) { $pods_form = pods_form(); if ( ! is_network_admin() ) { $pods_init = pods_init(); } } ``` * into this: * ``` if ( false !== pods_compatibility_check() ) { $pods_form = pods_form(); $pods_init = pods_init(); /*if ( ! is_network_admin() ) { }*/ } ``` * And it was resolved again.
