Fatal Error showing after X theme and cornerstone updates

[VapingHardware]

Hi there,

I very recently updated X theme (twice) and cornerstone and I’ve now got the following error showing on all pages:

Fatal error : Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function Cornerstone_Element_Front_End::begin_excerpt(), 1 passed in /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 287 and exactly 2 expected in /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cornerstone/includes/classes/elements/class-element-front-end.php:31 Stack trace: #0 /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(287): Cornerstone_Element_Front_End->begin_excerpt(‘Variable Power …’) #1 /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(212): WP_Hook->apply_filters(‘Variable Power …’, Array) #2 /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/params/vc_grid_item/attributes.php(357): apply_filters(‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘’) #3 /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(287): vc_gitem_template_attribute_post_excerpt(’’, ‘’) #4 /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(212): WP_Hook->apply_filters(’’, Array) #5 /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/params/vc_grid in /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cornerstone/includes/classes/elements/class-element-front-end.php on line 31

Any help would be really appreciated.

Many thanks,

Hi Callumn,

Thanks for reaching out. Would it be possible for you to share login credentials so I could take a closer look at this on your site? If this is ok you can add them in a secure note. Thanks!

Thanks Callumn! We were able to get this fixed today so I’ve updated your site to the latest version and it’s working now.

Hi @alexander,

Thanks for your reply. The update you carried out seemed to fix the problem. However I carried out further updates to X theme and cornerstone today and the problem has come back. It’s only showing on two of our landing pages this time (‘Reviews’ & ‘Calculators’) and we’re getting the same (or similar) message again:

Fatal error : Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function Cornerstone_Element_Front_End::begin_excerpt(), 1 passed in /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 287 and exactly 2 expected in /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cornerstone/includes/classes/elements/class-element-front-end.php:31 Stack trace: #0 /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(287): Cornerstone_Element_Front_End->begin_excerpt(‘The Freemax Max…’) #1 /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(212): WP_Hook->apply_filters(‘The Freemax Max…’, Array) #2 /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/params/vc_grid_item/attributes.php(357): apply_filters(‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘’) #3 /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(287): vc_gitem_template_attribute_post_excerpt(’’, ‘’) #4 /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(212): WP_Hook->apply_filters(’’, Array) #5 /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/params/vc_grid in /home/vapingha/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cornerstone/includes/classes/elements/class-element-front-end.php on line 31

If you wouldn’t mind taking a look again we’d really appreciate it.

Many thanks,

Hi @VapingHardware,

I just check your two landing pages (Reviews and Calculator) and I don’t see any fatal error. I also check your X theme and Cornerstone plugin and they are up to date. Please let us know if you are still experiencing the issue.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.
