X Theme, PHP 7.1 and WooCommerce

Support
#1

I have inherited a site with X Theme on it and it is currently displaying an error in the CMS. These errors are concerned with Woocommerce in the X theme folder. We don’t even have Woocommerce on this site…

The site has version 6.2.5 of X theme and 3.2.5 of Cornerstone.

Error below (note: xxx is the full path of the file)

FILE: /xxx/wp-content/themes/x/woocommerce/cart/cross-sells.php
FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE
26 | ERROR | Using a call-time pass-by-reference is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and prohibited since PHP 5.4

FILE: /xxx/wp-content/themes/x/woocommerce/single-product/related.php
FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE
26 | ERROR | Using a call-time pass-by-reference is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and prohibited since PHP 5.4

FILE: /xxx/wp-content/themes/x/woocommerce/single-product/up-sells.php
FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE
26 | ERROR | Using a call-time pass-by-reference is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and prohibited since PHP 5.4

I can also see a whole pile of js errors in the console, all from a cs-vendor.js file.

Do you know how I can rectify these errors?

Yes RueNel, It is running the latest version. I mentioned that in the original post…

It is hosted on SiteGround and is running PHP 7.1 (as was mentioned in the title of the post).

Please advise if you have any suggestions what could be causing these issues.

Hello Vicki,

By the way, where is these errors displaying from? Are you using a plugin to scan or this error displays right in your WP admin area? ​To assist you better with this issue, would you mind providing us the url of your site with login credentials, if necessary, so we can take a closer look?

To do this, you can make a post with the following info:
– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password (only if necessary)

Thank you.

It is a SiteGround Plugin. When you login you will see a notice at the top:

When you ‘click here’ then click on ‘see errors’ you will see the information relating to the error.

Unfortunately this is causing Cornerstone to hang and not load.

Hi Vicki,

It was Autoptimize plugin that was casing the issue with Cornerstone.
I deactivated it and Cornerstone works.

I don’t think you need that plugin as you already have WP Fastest cache and SG Optimizer Active.

Thanks
