PHP Warning: Attempt to read property

Resolved

Is there any way to get the plugin to stop triggering these? It’s been happening most if not all this year. We are on the current version of Elementor and H&FB. Current WordPress version. PHP version: 8.1.20.

[07-Jul-2023 09:05:22 UTC] PHP Warning:  Attempt to read property "post_type" on null in /home/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/header-footer-elementor/inc/lib/target-rule/class-astra-target-rules-fields.php on line 1324
[07-Jul-2023 09:05:22 UTC] PHP Warning:  Attempt to read property "ID" on null in /home/site/public_html/wp-content/plugins/header-footer-elementor/inc/lib/target-rule/class-astra-target-rules-fields.php on line 1325

Yes, we do have Astra, which for whatever reason is in the name of one your H&FB files, but that should be neither here nor there, and Astra said it’s not their problem.

Hi @bjf2000,

What if you switch the PHP to v8.0.x? Did you still get the PHP warning?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Herman 😊

I’m not sure I can get away with doing that at this point. v8.1.x is not even the latest generation, so it should be fine, right (released late 2021)? I could maybe understand if on v8.2.x, which has only been out since late 2022. We like to lag one major version for exactly this reason: to give plugins ample time. Of course, we do stay current on the minor version updates for security purposes.

Hi @bjf2000,

Please share with us the steps to replicate this. We will try to reproduce it on our end.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

@bsfherman, That’s unknown. Are you saying that you’ve looked at that log on an actively-used system with those two plugins installed and don’t see it? If so, what version of PHP?

Hi @bjf2000,

I don’t have any error log like you have above. Although, the PHP I have is v8.1.12 instead of v8.1.20.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Herman 😊

That dates back to last October, which almost certainly predates this problem (unless time is flying faster than I thought), so it’s a definite possibility that it only cropped up with more recent versions. That’s the best lead right now, since I haven’t the slightest idea otherwise how to go about replicating the problem.

Hi @bjf2000,

I should try it again then.

In the meantime, could you please check if you still have the same thing with the recent update, we released about 6 days ago?

Kind regards,
Herman 😊

Yes, we installed 1.6.15 when it came out, so last Thursday, and since then we’ve seen recurrence on Saturday and Sunday. which is interesting because of that being a weekend. Whatever is doing this, that must mean it’s a result of something automated, at least sometimes, since no one works on the site on weekends. Not that it’s only happened on the weekend before now, it happens at all sorts of times, but maybe that it did this time reveals something. It at least reduces the chance that any kind of user action causes it (that can’t be the only way to cause it, at least).

Yes, they did respond, but the curious thing is that they said the plugin isn’t compatible with PHP 8.1. That’s weird for a couple reasons. First being that if Elementor is, why isn’t this related plugin?

But more to the point, you were trying an old version of 8.1 and didn’t reproduce the problem. Old, but still 8.1, so it doesn’t add up. Unfortunately, I don’t think you tried a current version of 8.1. If you still can’t reproduce then, that would strongly suggest that support was wrong and this is something else. But I don’t think you tried it so we’ll never know.

Hi @bjf2000,

Yes, so far, I tried only with the version I mentioned previously. Hopefully, our dev team would be able to work on this soon. We appreciate your patience and co-operation.

Kind regards,
Herman 😊

This continues with 1.6.16, so the adding of PHP 8.1 compatibility is perhaps incomplete or it has little or nothing to do with PHP 8.1 in the first place.
