Title: Non-numeric value warning Last modified: March 14, 2023 --- # Non-numeric value warning * Resolved [NickJP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickjp/) * (@nickjp) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/non-numeric-value-warning-5/) * After upgrading Sportspress on our site to version 2.7.16, I see the following warning appearing on one of the pages on the site: “Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in /home/customer/www/bsaact.org.au/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ sportspress/includes/class-sp-league-table.php on line 395”. The page it appears on is [https://bsaact.org.au/snooker/](https://bsaact.org.au/snooker/). This warning did not appear prior to the update. * When I look at line 395 of the php file, it contains: * $totals[ $team_id ][‘eventminutes’] += $minutes; * The values appearing in the league table are still correct. Any ideas on this problem?

For example, instead of adding 45, you added 45′. * You can draft your events and published one by one until.yoi identify in which event that happened. * Thanks, Savvas * Thread Starter [NickJP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickjp/) * (@nickjp) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/non-numeric-value-warning-5/#post-16564104) * I’ve checked, and I cannot find such a non-numeric time value anywhere. The only times in the database are those that were imported when I created all the season’s events a couple of months ago via import of CSV files. I’ve checked the CSV files, there are no non-numeric values in the time fields, and when I check all the season’s events in Sportspress, they all have a valid time field with no non- numeric values shown. It seems to me very coincidental that the events were all created a couple of months ago, with no warnings seen, and this warning has suddenly appeared immediately after a version upgrade of Sportspress. * Plugin Contributor [Savvas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/savvasha/) * (@savvasha) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/non-numeric-value-warning-5/#post-16564912) * Hi [@nickjp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickjp/) , * Since I cannot reproduce this issue, there must be something different with your setup/data. * Please draft your events and published one by one until you which event “produce” this error. * Thanks, Savvas * Thread Starter [NickJP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickjp/) * (@nickjp) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/non-numeric-value-warning-5/#post-16567874) * Well, this is interesting. We have events in the current season for two separate competitions, billiards and snooker. I was previously seeing the error only on the page containing the league table for the snooker competition, and only that competition had events where I had entered results since the upgrade to Sportspress 2.7.16. * However, I just entered results for two billiards events by editing the existing events (just entering points scored, no times entered at all), and after updating those events, I am now seeing the identical error on the page containing the billiards league table ([https://bsaact.org.au/billiards-2/](https://bsaact.org.au/billiards-2/)). * So something with the new version is causing the problem to appear when an event is edited to enter the points scored. * Thread Starter [NickJP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickjp/) * (@nickjp) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/non-numeric-value-warning-5/#post-16575240) * OK, I have found the cause of the problem. When I view an event, there is a field under Details named Full Time, given in minutes. In the five or so years that I have been using Sportspress, I’ve never bothered to populate this field when importing events, as it’s irrelevant to our competitions, which are played to a target and not a time, and this has not caused a problem until the latest version of Sportspress. Now, as soon as I enter the results for an event that has been completed, I have to put a value in this field, which shows as blank (I just put 0) or I get the non-numeric value warning. * When I view older events for which results were entered using an older version of Sportspress, this Full Time field has been automatically populated with a value of zero, whereas the new version leaves it blank and generates the warning. Why the change in behaviour? * Thread Starter [NickJP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickjp/) * (@nickjp) * [3 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/non-numeric-value-warning-5/#post-16631767) * Same error has just appeared again. I updated more events with their results, and I get the same non-numeric value warning unless I enter a value of zero in the Full Time field. This problem did not happen when entering event results with the previous version of Sportspress. * Plugin Contributor [Savvas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/savvasha/) * (@savvasha) * [2 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/non-numeric-value-warning-5/#post-16766575) * Hi there [@nickjp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickjp/) , * Sorry for the delayed reply on this. Did you manage to resolve it? One more thing you can try is to add a default value of minutes at `SportsPress->Settings->Matches- >Full time` * Thanks, Savvas * Thread Starter [NickJP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickjp/) * (@nickjp) * [2 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/non-numeric-value-warning-5/#post-16766593) * Yes, that was the Sportspress setting I changed to get rid of the error. I have the value set to 0 minutes.
