Hello! I’m getting the following error:

Warning: Declaration of Walker_Nav_Menu_Dropdown::start_lvl(&$output, $depth) should be compatible with Walker_Nav_Menu::start_lvl(&$output, $depth = 0, $args = Array) in /home/busin814/public_html/wp-content/plugins/connections-card/nav-menu-dropdown.php on line 0

This error is repeated 3 more times down the page.

The error can be found here here and on every member page on the site.

Please let me know how I can fix this error.

Thanks!!

It appears someone had created a custom template based on the Default template. Who ever did this for you will have to update their code so as to not generate this error. Best guess that in this file:

../wp-content/plugins/connections-card/nav-menu-dropdown.php

the use of the start_lvl, end_lvl, start_el and end_el is missing the last required parameter when declaring the method.

Hope this helps!

Well, I’m actually the person who built the site. We haven’t made any changes since last year, just updated the site. I’m not sure what I should add to the code to make it work again.

RE: just updated the site

What do you mean by this statement? Update WP? If so, that would make sense if the core WP class Walker_Nav_Menu had changed the parameters of those four methods I mentioned in my previous reply.

RE: I’m not sure what I should add to the code to make it work again.

I’m not able to tell you precisely because it is not my code causing the error, but…

If you open this file:

../wp-content/plugins/connections-card/nav-menu-dropdown.php

I suspect this file contains a PHP class which extends the WP core Walker_Nav_Menu class. Search the file for start_lvl. This should be a method that has two parameters but now requires three. Add $args = array() as the new third parameter. Do this for end_lvl too. The last two methods, start_el and end_el are similar. For the start_el method you need to add the new $id = 0 as the fifth parameter. Lastly for the end_el method you need to add $args = array() as a new forth parameter. This is pretty much exactly what the error message is saying.

What is odd… I would expect the line numbers to be different, but they are all reported as they error being on line 0.

Hope this helps!

We updated the Connections plugin on 11/04 and recently updated WordPress to the latest version within the last couple days. Not sure which one caused this to happen.

Either way, thank you so much for your help. It’s fixed and working correctly!! :D
