Essential Grid broken

[chapfilmguy]

Since the last update of Pro, my essential grid broke. When trying to access the settings of a grid I built, it wouldn’t pull up all the information or allow me to make any changes. I’d have to create a new grid, but as soon as I saved, it wouldn’t allow me to go into it again to change it.

I just duplicated my site and wp_admin errored out because of Essential Grid. I had to rename the plugin folder to login to my cpanel. Once in, I tried to install it from the Pro plugins page, but upon activating, this is what I get. (the same error that appeared when I initially tried to login) :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC in /home1/reelvisi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/essential-grid/admin/includes/plugin-update.class.php on line 860

Well, I fixed the activation issue by updating my PHP version, but the initial problem still exists. site location

Hi,

Would you mind providing us with login credentials so we can take a closer look? Please provide following information:

Set it as Secure Note

• Link to your site
• WordPress Admin username / password
• FTP credentials

All the best!

Hi there,

What was the initial issue again? I checked and I’m able to access your essential grids and its setting, and I can apply changes too. Perhaps you can provide some clarification on the issue?

Thanks!

If you try to go to the settings of the grid in use, LS Press 1, you can’t change any settings or access any of the data of that grid.

Hi there,

Ah, thanks for pointing out and this is what I found, it’s not working due to error because of this

eg_filter_handles_selected['post_tag_27'] = 'Captain Karl's (1 item) [slug: captain-karls]';

And that is because of just a single quote character added to your post tag’s title Captain Karl's. Looks like it’s EG’s bug, it should be like this escaping the single quote character,

eg_filter_handles_selected['post_tag_27'] = 'Captain Karl\'s (1 item) [slug: captain-karls]';

If you compare the two, the second string is now full red indicating that it’s not broken.

Now, I tried changing the post tag title to Captain Karl\'s, or Captain Karl's, or Captain Karls but it’s not taking effect, it still picking up the Captain Karl's which I think related to cache. I disabled the cache, but still the same, BUT, it works when you create a new grid. Which means, the issue is permanent to that grid (maybe the grid has its own internal cache).

Could you try re-creating those grids instead while making sure that category, tags, and other taxonomy doesn’t contain the single quote on its titles?

Thanks!
