[Resolved] Upgrading PHP without breaking my site

[Author]

Hello,

I am currently running PHP 5.4.45 on my site, but WordPress is telling me that I need at least 5.6.20 or higher to run WordPress release 5.2.2. I remember having tried PHP 7 offline and it had done some weird things to CPT relationships.

Should I have any problem with my Toolset built site if I upgrade to PHP 7

Thank you

Hi Arrien,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

It actually recommended to update to php version 7. I know our toolset plugin is compatible with this version but I cannot say the same for the other plugins that you may have installed.

So I would recommend doing this in a testing environment first.

Thanks,
Shane

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

Hello,

I just duplicated my site to a local server to test PHP 7. The site breaks when trying to use forms to create new post types.

Hi Arrien,

Have you updated the toolset plugins to their latest versions ?

Could you let me know which versions of our plugins you are using ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

I have updated all the plug-ins and still get an error:

Hi Arrien,

Would you mind providing me with a copy of the site so that I can test it out here locally as well ?

To do this please follow the instructions in the link below.

Thanks,

Hi Arrien,

You need to disable these plugins as well as I know the CRED is compatible with php 7.

If you are still experiencing this issue please let me know.

I've tested out your duplicator package on my local server running a version of PHP 7 and it works flawlessly even with the plugins enabled.

Could you also let me know the scenario under which the site throws this error.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

The scenario is when browsing to localhost/your_folder_name/membership/

Fill out the form information

Then checking the Membership custom post type on the backend the title comes up as CRED Auto Draft...

When you fill out the form at localhost/your_folder_name/membership/ what do the Member titles save as?

Thanks

Hi Arrien,

The reason why you are getting this, is because of your custom code.

add_action('cred_save_data','item_title',10,2);
function item_title($post_id, $form_data) {
            $type = get_post_type($post_id);
            if ($type == 'material-check-out')  {
                         
                        $parent_id = $_POST["_wpcf_belongs_member_id"];
                        $title = get_the_title($parent_id);
                        $slug = sanitize_title($title);
                        wp_update_post(array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $title, 'post_status'   => 'publish'));
            }
    
            if ($type == 'material-check-in')  {
                         
                        $parent_id = $_POST["_wpcf_belongs_member_id"];
                        $title = get_the_title($parent_id);
                        $slug = sanitize_title($title);
                        wp_update_post(array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $title, 'post_status'   => 'publish'));
            }
}

It seems that there is an issue with the code itself. I solved the issue by adding this line add_action('cred_save_data','item_title',10,2);

This should now be working.

Thanks,
Shane
