Incompatibiity with PHP7.3?

KOSMOS_DESIGN · January 2020

Hi

I recently upgrade my PHP version to 7.3 on my website as new plug in wouldnt work without the upgrade.

All seemed well for a few days until I needed to make changes.

On making a change to a page - it just 'hangs saying 'updating' when I hit save.

On looking at the error logs and asking my ISP the following response was sent ....

The important one there is the "Status Code: 500" as that means a server error. Looking at the "error_log" file in the "wp-admin" folder of your site it shows the following:-

[28-Jan-2020 11:01:44 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/efsumbor/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/betheme/functions/builder/back.php:918

Are you sure all your plugins and theme are fully compatible with PHP 7.3? You may wish to provide this error to the supplier of the script referenced at "/home/efsumbor/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/betheme/functions/builder/back.php" as that appears to be the cause.

Is the BeTheme compaitble with 7.3?

Hello,

Is your BeTheme up to date? It has to be the latest version to be compatible with that version of PHP.

Thanks

15.2 is installed but the theme is not showing as rquiring an update?

This version is really old, please update it first.

Here is an instruction on how to update the theme:
http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/documentation/#general
Theme updates will not delete your content unless you have changed the
files directly in which case we suggest using a child theme.
We also recommend creating a backup file.
Please remove the theme completely from your theme folder and install a
fresh copy. Do not overwrite files.
thanks
