Getting error Undefined variable: postId

[Christian Thomson]

Hello! I’ve recently started getting errors on my website homepage, where it goes down off and on for the past few days. When the page is down, I get the error:

This page isn’t working
valleyfirstaidtraining.ca redirected you too many times.
Try clearing your cookies.
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

So I created a duplicate copy of the site under https://valleyfirstaidtraining.ca/test_site/ and I updated all plugins there. Because of the too many redirects, I thought to include wp_reset_postdata(); to my two custom queries (Upcoming Events, and getting Events by Location), and it loaded the page, but with errors:

Notice: Undefined variable: postId in /home/valleyfi/public_html/test_site/wp-content/themes/valleyfirstaid/sidebar-home.php on line 31

That refers to the code snippets:

<?php query_posts(array( 'post_type' => 'tribe_events', 'posts_per_page' => 5 ) ); 
                while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $url = esc_url( get_permalink( tribe_get_venue_id( $postId ))); ?>
                    <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
                    <p><?php echo tribe_get_start_date($post->ID, true, $format = 'F j, Y - l' );?><br>
                    <?php echo tribe_get_venue_link()?></p>   
                <?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

and

<?php query_posts(array( 'post_type' => 'tribe_venue ' ) ); 
                while (have_posts()) : the_post();
                $url = esc_url( get_permalink( tribe_get_venue_id( $postId ))); ?>
                    <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
                    <p><?php echo tribe_get_address(). ',<br>'. tribe_get_city() .', '. tribe_get_stateprovince() .' '. tribe_get_zip() .' '. tribe_get_country(); ?><br>
                    <a href="<?php echo $url; ?>#tribe-events-content">View Courses <i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></i></a></p>   
                <?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

Are parts of this snippet deprecated? Why is $postID an undefined variable?
Thanks!

Hello marwickmarketing,

Thanks for reaching out!

Your snippet looks fine, those functions are not deprecated to the best of my knowledge.

Looks like you don’t have $postId defined. What happens if you try $post->ID instead or do a declaration before:

$postId = $post->ID

Check this. Meanwhile I’ll also try to get someone more versed in coding to take a look at this.

Cheers,
Andras

Hi Andras,

The issue was exactly that! I had figured it out, and forgot to close the thread. I appreciate the good guess 🙂
