Events Import gives HTTP Error 500

[Pamela]

I keep getting the same error message – HTTP Error 500 when I try to import a CSV file.

The website.org page isn’t working
website.org is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500

Debug gave the following…
Notice: Use of undefined constant dce_customizer_styles – assumed ‘dce_customizer_styles’ in ****s/engined/divi-children-engine/dce-customizer/dce-kirki/dce-kirki.php on line 50

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘ in /home/asburych/public_html/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Importer/File_Importer_Events.php on line 309

Thank you for sharing that Pamela. It would seem this might e related to the older version of PHP your server is running. But that’s okay, we still do our best to support PHP 5.3 even if PHP itself hasn’t supported it for years.

Do you feel comfortable modifying a line in one of the plugin files for me to see if it fixes this? If so open up the file: wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Importer/File_Importer_Events.php and scroll down to line 309. You should see:

$after_aliases = [ 'suffix', 'after' ];

Could you replace that with:

$after_aliases = array( 'suffix', 'after' );

With that in place try the import again. Does it work as expected, or still a 500 error?

Cheers!

Thanks Brook! That fixed the 500 error.

Perfect! Thank you for getting back.

Typically when you directly modify you will have to remake that modification each time you update the plugin. However, we are likely going to have a fix for this in the next version, which is due for release later this week. So you probably will not have to worry about this again.

Either way I will leave this topic open until after you update, just in case.

Cheers!
