recent errors with no change in the back-end

wolfcry911 · 2017-01-18 01:00:51

I’m now encountering errors on a site I created awhile back – dclatham.com
There’s been no change on the backend even though diagnostics show two files have been modified, they haven’t and still show the original modification date in 2011. Please help!!

The errors (on one page) are:

Strict Standards: Non-static method timezone::is_dst() should not be called statically in /home/dclatham/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 2545

Strict Standards: Non-static method timezone::is_supported() should not be called statically in /home/dclatham/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 2713

When I log into the admin area there are far more, but similar, errors. And everytime I change tabs I’m booted off and have to login again. I can’t get a high detailed diagnostic (I get logged off trying), but here’s the low level:

Update: I’ve temporarily changed PHP to version 5.3 which has fixed the issues but I’d love to know what caused them and how to properly fix them.

I think that it was indeed the php. The errors should go away if you updated the php AND txp. As always back up before doing anything.

wolfcry, you’re using a highly vulnerable version of TXP. You should update to the current version (more on that below). But before I’d check the two files marked as changed, maybe they’ve been hacked. First make a backup of them, then replace them with original copies from your 4.4.0 download and check diagnostics again.

Re updating Textpattern: Your plugins should continue to work after updating or can be updated with ease if they don’t. Maybe pap_contact_cleaner will break, but there’s a more recent—though aged—version I could provide you with, plus there’s adi_contact with anti spam measures for zem_contact_reborn (though not the same method that the pap plugin uses). Oh, and there’s also this kinda universal/afoot technique.
The admin theme DIN will certainly break and I’m quite sure there’s no version for 4.6 available, AFAIR it’s from Textgarden which sadly shut down two years ago. Current admin themes, though, delivered with TXP are responsive, thankfully, and there’s also a nice and regularly updated admin theme called phw_sandspace to try out (screenshot).

And of course, as colak told you, backup everything, files and DB.

Edit: Added ruud’s tip.

Thank you both. I’ve upgraded and everything is running smooth once more. ;)
