Crashes WordPress 6.3 on php8 about alps-gutenberg-blocks HOT 17 CLOSED

Hi @ccharacter,
sorry for delay...

Could you please describe this issue with more details?

I would take it for investigation.

Thanks,
Best Regards!

Are there more details?

Hi folks--I'll update my dev site and reinstall it so that I can hopefully provide more information. I do recall that there was surprisingly little in the logs. (May be a couple of hours until I can do that, but I'll try to do it today.)

So far I am unable to duplicate the behavior I complained about in August. Will try it on the live site shortly.

Yeah, so apparently I forgot that I had installed the Carbon Fields plugin to cut down on some other errors in ALPS. Without the Carbon Fields plugin installed and activated, the block editor crashes completely: white screen of death and this in the error log:

[26-Sep-2023 15:18:55 UTC] PHP Notice: Function register_rest_route was called <strong>incorrectly</strong>.

This is still the case if I deactivate ALL PLUGINS except ALPS Gutenberg Blocks: exact same errors.

If I activate a default theme like TwentyTwenty, the block editor works fine. (That's the only way I can actually deactivate ALPS Gutenberg Blocks, it turns out--won't let me while ALPS is active theme.)

It seems that the only way to have the block editor work (sans Carbon Fields) is to completely remove the ALPS Gutenberg Blocks plugin--by deleting the files from the system.

I'm using a child theme of ALPS 3 on the site. So I tried activating ALPS for Wordpress itself instead (still zero plugins active, other than ALPS Gutenberg Blocks). Same result: white screen of death for block editor, same error as above in log.

When I remove ALPS Gutenberg Blocks by deleting it from the file system, I still get the same result.

When I reactivate Carbon Fields, the block editor works in ALPS for WordPress--and in my child theme.

When I reinstall ALPS Gutenberg Blocks WITH CARBON FIELDS ACTIVE the block editor works.

I think that my conclusion at this point is that the problem is not in the ALPS Gutenberg Blocks plugin, but in the theme itself. And that Carbon Fields seems to provide a workable crutch.

You need to use ALPS CDN version 3.13.1. If you upgrade to ALPS 3.15.1.4 the new CSS is included and you should not have issues.

That theme is attached to this post.

alps-wordpress-v3.15.1.4.zip

from alps-gutenberg-blocks.

Please use latest version of our theme.

@hans-olson will handle it.

Thanks,
Best Regards!

So when did the theme fork? Or is there a reason why it wouldn't be auto-updating?

It looks like 3.15 requires PHP 8.1, which I am not presently running on the site in question. I'll be interested to see whether, when I update PHP, there is any indication that a new version of ALPS is available. You really should have some sort of notification--especially when the new version fixes this many problems! Also, you'll be hearing from me again if there are a significant number of PHP errors. I live in the error logs. . . LOL!

from alps-gutenberg-blocks.

Huh. PHP 8.1 isn't even available on the NAD Cloud yet. So this doesn't do me a bit of good.

If you talk to anybody in NAD, please nudge them in the right direction. I don't always get a reply from them!
