Same Issue as: code deprecated in Functions.php

[Robert Safran]

I updated to release 4.5.4 of the The Events Calendar and version 4.4.10 of The Events Calendar Pro in preparation for the WordPress 4.8 version that flywheel is forcing on me by June 22nd. I’m getting errors:

Notice: Undefined variable: event in /www/wp-content/themes/sharewisdom/functions.php on line 1388 Notice: /www/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/deprecated/TribeEvents.php is deprecated since version 3.10! Use Tribe__Events__Main instead. in /www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3959

Any help appreciated.
Thanks…

I updated all occurrences of TribeEvents in my custom functions.php file with Tribe__Events__Main and it didn’t make any difference. Not sure what else I can do.

Here’s the function that includes line 1388 which is the if ($event ) {

function episode_cat_sb() {
ob_start();
$event_cat_ids = array();
if ( $event ) {
$event_cats = wp_get_object_terms( $event->ID, Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY );
foreach ( $event_cats as $event_cat ) {
$event_cat_ids[] = $event_cat->term_id;
}
} else {
$event_cats = array();
}
$args = array(
‘hide_empty’ => false,
‘orderby’ => ‘name’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
‘exclude’ => $event_cat_ids,
);

$cats = get_terms( TribeEvents::TAXONOMY, $args );
$cats = array_merge( $event_cats, $cats );
$cats = apply_filters( ‘tribe_community_events_event_categories’, $cats );

echo ‘<div class=”sidebar_episode_categories_list”>’;

foreach ($cats as $cat) {
echo ‘<div class=”sidebar_episode”><a href=”‘;
echo home_url();
echo ‘/episodes/category/’.esc_attr($cat->slug).’/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=past”‘;
echo ‘>’.esc_attr($cat->slug).’</div>’; }

echo ‘</div>’;

return ob_get_clean();

}

My wonderful web developer resolved all the issues in our functions.php file. All is working now on WordPress 4.8.

Robert, that is great to hear! Sounds like you have an awesome developer at hand, congrats!

Could you share what was the solution he implemented? It might be useful for others searching the forum.

Thanks and cheers,

This second functions snippet contains the modifications from my developer.

/*Original function*/
function episode_cat_sb() {
ob_start();
$event_cat_ids = array();
if ( $event ) {
$event_cats = wp_get_object_terms( $event->ID, TribeEvents::TAXONOMY );
foreach ( $event_cats as $event_cat ) {
$event_cat_ids[] = $event_cat->term_id;
}
} else {
$event_cats = array();
}
$args = array(
‘hide_empty’ => false,
‘orderby’ => ‘name’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
‘exclude’ => $event_cat_ids,
);

$cats = get_terms( TribeEvents::TAXONOMY, $args );
$cats = array_merge( $event_cats, $cats );
$cats = apply_filters( ‘tribe_community_events_event_categories’, $cats );

echo ‘<div class=”sidebar_episode_categories_list”>’;

foreach ($cats as $cat) {
echo ‘<div class=”sidebar_episode”><a href=”‘;
echo home_url();
echo ‘/episodes/category/’.esc_attr($cat->slug).’/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=past”‘;
echo ‘>’.esc_attr($cat->slug).’</div>’; }

echo ‘</div>’;

return ob_get_clean();

}

/*The new working function*/
function episode_cat_sb() {
ob_start();
$event_cat_ids = array();
$event = array();
if ( $event ) {
$event_cats = wp_get_object_terms( $event->ID, Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY );
foreach ( $event_cats as $event_cat ) {
$event_cat_ids[] = $event_cat->term_id;
}
} else {
$event_cats = array();
}
$args = array(
‘hide_empty’ => false,
‘orderby’ => ‘name’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
‘exclude’ => $event_cat_ids,
);

$cats = get_terms( Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY, $args );
$cats = array_merge( $event_cats, $cats );
$cats = apply_filters( ‘tribe_community_events_event_categories’, $cats );

echo ‘<div class=”sidebar_episode_categories_list”>’;

foreach ($cats as $cat) {
echo ‘<div class=”sidebar_episode”><a href=”‘;
echo home_url();
echo ‘/episodes/category/’.esc_attr($cat->slug).’/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=past”‘;
echo ‘>’.esc_attr($cat->slug).’</div>’; }

echo ‘</div>’;

return ob_get_clean();

}
