TobiasBg on "[Plugin: TablePress] PHP 7"

After switching to PHP 7.4 a fatal error message is displayed breaking the wordpress backend.

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

Can you please provide more information here? What's the exact error message?

I haven't done a lot of testing with PHP 7, but did not have such a problem yet.

Hi Tobias,

Thank you for the quick response. This is the message:

Fatal error: Class 'TablePress_Model' not found in /home/finkleyd/public_html/wp-content/plugins/tablepress/models/model-options.php on line 21

Unfortunately my Hosting provider are forcing PHP7 at the moment as a roll out.

Hi,

thanks for the error message! That is really strange. I don't see how this could be happening.

I have now tested with PHP 7 as well and am not able to reproduce this. Also, this error is not really specific to PHP 7 and should have happened with other versions as well.

Is it maybe possible that your TablePress installation is corrupt? Can you please reinstall TablePress from a fresh download to make sure that all files exist?

Also, can you please try again after temporarily deactivating all other plugins and after switchting to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Sixteen? That way, we can rule out an exteal interference.

Regards,
Tobias

I have tried all mentioned and still getting the same error. When I switch back to PHP 5 the issue goes. I have even tried purging the cache of the site.

Any other ideas?

Hi,

no, sorry, I'm out of ideas here then :-( I have tested again on my dev server, running PHP 7.0.5, and everything works fine. Also, on a different server with PHP 7.0.4, no problems.

I can therefore only assume that this must be something specific in the structure of your site or server. Can you maybe set up a fresh/empty WP site (in a subfolder, for example) with only TablePress, to see if that works?
