Events made easy frontend submit told me, that I have to install the new version and that the old version was deactivated. Now I followed the instructions on the website.

After updating “events made easy” I got the following error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘:’, expecting ‘)’ in /home/customer/www/schloss-kuernbach.de/public_html/wp-content/plugins/events-made-easy/eme-filters.php on line 245

What do I have to do to make it work again?

Best regards,
Axel Schaumann

Based on your error, you’re using an old PHP version. EME requires PHP version 8.0 or newer. PHP 7.4 is end of life since the beginning of 2023 so you should upgrade.

Oh sh….! I will do it immediately.

Hehe 🙂 No problem, but I do believe wordpress should at least show a warning in the admin backend for old php versions …

See https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php (if you want to keep track)

Thank you! I will try to keep track of it and update all my websites over the next few days. But now I will create another backup, then update the eme and emefs plugins and check, if I could manage to do that.

Now I experience a new problem. I have received the following messages:

Warning: Undefined array key “event_properties” in /home/customer/www/schloss-kuernbach.de/public_html/wp-content/plugins/events-made-easy-frontend-submit/emefs.php on line 339

Several things here:
- this warning (not an error) should’ve been present before too (not php version dependent). This changeset should fix it: https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3015808
- The fact you see this “on your site” should be fixed: never show php warnings/errors/info on your site to avoid path disclosure. In your php config, set “display_errors = Off” for this, the rest I leave up to your php config of choice.

Hi Franky,
