Awaiting an answer Helix Framework

Running Helix 3 template under PHP 7.4 or higher

Asked by Zinger 4 years ago Last activity 4 years ago

Hi.

I would like to upgrade PHP version from 7.3 to higher. I get a warning message :

Warning: Creating default object from empty value in C:\xampp7.4.29\htdocs\plugins\system\helix\core\wp_shortcodes.php on line 97

Here are the lines 93 to 98
function add_shortcode($tag, $func) {
global $helix;

    if ( is_callable($func) )
        $helix->shortcode_tags[$tag] = $func;
}

    can you please help me to solve this issue.

    Regards

Hi Zinger,

that plugin is not from Helix3, it's very old Helix plugin, not supported anymore and won't be.

Please disable and uninstall all plugins that do not have "helix3" in their name, but only "helix". Disable also plugin with "shortcodes" name if you have any.

Do not use OLD templates, quickstarts. It's better to choose templates based mostly on Helix Ultimate, they support PHP8.

@Paul, I saw the templates you are using are saying J4 and or J3. Isn't it an idea if php version could also be a bottle neck to publish that also on the page?
