Hello,
My client logged into their site to make some changes and the dashboard has disappeared – side tabs are still there, but the only one that opens up anything is the Connections dashboard.

This message is at the top of the screen:

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in ../wp-content/plugins/connections/connections.php on line 1044

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at ../wp-content/plugins/connections/connections.php:1044) in ../wp-includes/functions.php on line 861

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at ../wp-content/plugins/connections/connections.php:1044) in ../wp-includes/functions.php on line 862

Please help!! Thank you!

Looks like you got yourself a relatively old version of WordPress and Connections installed, yes? What versions?

It is probably best to turn off the display PHP error reporting and log i instead… it is best practice to do that on a public site. Add this to your wp-config file:

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

@ini_set('log_errors',1); 
@ini_set('display_errors',0); 
@ini_set('error_log','phperrors.log'); // path to server-writable log file

Since it is only a warning that is being generated, that should do the trick.

Hope this helps!

Hello, That code turned off the warnings, but I still had a white screen. I found some other code to fix that bug and have my dashboard back again but I still can’t perform certain functions. I can upload a plugin (trying to backup site), but can’t activate it. Instead, I get this error:

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home4/mpsa/public_html/wp-content/plugins/connections/connections.php on line 1044

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home4/mpsa/public_html/wp-content/plugins/connections/connections.php:1044) in /home4/mpsa/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 866

The Connections-Pro version is 0.7.2.6.

Can I just install the latest version over that or am I looking at more trouble – especially since I can’t backup? Thanks!

Ok, I was able to backup and update WP. How can I get the latest version of Connections-Pro?

This is the only error I am getting now:
Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /home4/mpsa/public_html/wp-content/plugins/connections/connections.php on line 1044

Thank you!!!

Sorry for all the posts! I was able to update everything. Now I just need my directory back. Nothing is showing on the page. I can’t add anything to the visual or text editor in any pages that are supposed to be using the shortcode. The shortcode disappeared with the update and I can’t type the shortcode in again.

Update: Text was there, just all white – fixed that. Shortcode is there and page is set in the Connections Settings page. No directory is showing though.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my troubleshooting journey. I am sorry to have posted so crazily! I found that I needed to updated my Slim template and now everything is fine.

This topic can officially be marked as resolved now! :)

Thanks!!

@ Kim

Great to hear you’ve worked this out! I was sick yesterday so now I’m a bit backlogged in my support requests.
