www.osgeo.org (wordpress): saving of edits leads to critical error

[neteler]

I tried to update the actinia page but after editing I got:

​https://www.osgeo.org/wp-admin/post.php

There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.

What were you updating on actinia page? I just clicked update on actinia page and received no error. Also editing postgis page and got no error. I thought there was a log within wordpress that showed errors, but can't find it.

[neteler]

I had updated various links (all github moved from github.com/mundialis/ ORG to github.com/actinia-org/ and others, too.

[robe]

I was able to update the github links that had mundialis to actinia-org with no error. So perhaps some sort of permission issue or browser cache issue.

Can you clear out your browser cache and then try updating again.

[neteler]

Thanks for having updated the links.

I eventually nailed it down:

Adding a new member under "Select members that are involved in this project." it leads to above error.

[robe]

Still can't replicate. I added myself to the project and that completed fine, and then removed myself. Also fine. I did the same with PostGIS.

Maybe specific to the person you were adding?

[robe]

@neteler are you still having this issue?

[neteler]

I don't find the section "Select members that are involved in this project." any more for the actinia community project, so no idea how to edit that.

[robe]

It's in the About section - "Who's involved". I thought it used to be a separate tab on it's own at one point, but I could be mistaken

[neteler]

Thanks, found it in the "About" tab.

And success, I was able to edit and save. Problem gone.

As discussed with neteler offlist, he is still having an issue adding a specific user.

The error I am seeing in the log email is -

An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 207 of the file /var/www/osgeo.org/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/roots/lib/custom.php. Error message: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /var/www/osgeo.org/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/roots/lib/custom.php:207
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/osgeo.org/httpdocs/core/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(308): syncUsersForProject()
#1 /var/www/osgeo.org/httpdocs/core/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(332): WP_Hook->apply_filters()

Why it's only an issue for trying to add this specific user I'm not sure, but I think the code in our theme needs to be changed in our custom theme.

Vicky I'm reassigning to you since you have more experience with the php side of this.

I could add my self, Who are we trying to add?

[neteler]

I'll send the name off-trac to you.

Same problem on dev.

[cvvergara]

Made the tests again, I did not have the problems. Maybe was solved when updating WordPress
