Backlight 4 & 5 Support
#1

Hello,

After upgrading to Backlight 4.1 I get the following message when going to my Wordpress 5.8.1 blog. https://www.bretculp.com/bret-culp-photography-blog/

Thanks

The problem seems to be when Featured Image on Excerpts is checked. When unchecked I don’t get the Fatal error but I obviously also don’t get the Featured Image.

Any ideas?

#3

No ideas, but I can confirm. On one of my test sites, I had Featured Image on Excerpts enabled and I saw no problem. Then I added a featured image to a post and am now getting this error (not nearly as long as your error):

Warning: Use of undefined constant is_admin - assumed ‘is_admin’ (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /home1/barbeeph/public_html/backlight-2-100/blog/wp-content/themes/rod-wp/inc/theme_posts.php on line 145

Backlight is up to date. WordPress is up to date. And I did re-export the theme to WordPress after updating Backlight.

On my non-test sites, Backlight is up to date, as is WordPress. I have not re-exported the WordPress themes on those sites and they are not showing the error.

#4

Just created a new installation of WP on another test site. Not seeing the problem there.
