PHP 7.2 incompatibilities

[comtechnique]

Hello

Our hosting provider has switched over to PHP 7.2, which created an issue in the back-end of Events Calendar. When entering event details, fields like event venue can’t be selected or changed.

Luckily the PHP version is switchable, so we’re back on 7.1, but this needs a fix, obviously. Any word on that?

Noticed this forum topic, related to PHP 7.2:

Events Calendar incompatibilities with PHP 7.2. When will PHP 7.2 be supported?

Hey comtech,

Thanks for reaching out!

Sorry to hear about this issue. I ran a quick test on my local installation and didn’t encounter that issue with php 7.2. That of course doesn’t mean there is no issue, it just means we need to investigate, and I will need your help for that.

The issue outlined in the other topic has been fixed earlier this year.

Now, about your issue… I will need a couple of things from you.

First, please make sure you are using the latest versions of our plugins.

Second, please share your system information with me in a private reply.

Third, when on 7.2 please do a quick conflict test to see if it is not any of the other plugins or the theme you use that are interfering somehow. The quick version is: switch to twentyseventeen and deactivate all plugins, except for The Events Calendar and check if you can reproduce.

Four: when trying to add / change venue or organizer, check in your browser’s console* if you get any error messages. (* Open webdev tools (F12 or Ctrl + Shift + I on Chrome / Firefox, Option + Cmd + J on Safari) and there’s a console tab)

Five: enable debugging on your site and check if you get any error messages when trying to add / change a venue or organizer.

Six: could you create a screen recording of the issue? 🙂

I think this is it for a start.

Looking forward to helping you fix this.

Cheers,
Andras
