Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: array_merge()

  • Hey all! I’ve hit a weird one. I built a site and theme on one environment (Ionos) and then moved it to another (GoDaddy). Settings are all the same. PHP 8.0, WordPress 6.4.3…but on the live site, the sidebars and widgets don’t show on the front end and on the admin side, the widget page can be accessed, but none of my registered sidebars show. Also, the customizer page, if accessed, throws a critical error (pasted below).

    Please note that I have switched themes and deactivated plugins. The critical error still exists and the sidebars still don’t show.

    Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: array_merge(): Argument #3 must be of type array, bool given in /var/www/wp-includes/class-wp-customize-widgets.php:380

    Here’s the segment of code from class-wp-customize-widgets.php:

    $sidebars_widgets = array_merge(
   array( 'wp_inactive_widgets' => array() ),
   array_fill_keys( array_keys( $wp_registered_sidebars ), array() ),
   wp_get_sidebars_widgets()
);

    @devinlabsolutions you caught a moment where I was switching stuff on and off. I’ve set up another dev location to work this out. On that location, all plugins have been turned off. I’ve even switched themes. I’m still getting a fatal error when trying to access the customize section.

    Hello

    I have the same problem. Did you find a solution ?

    Thanks

    Hi!

    I fixed that via switching to classic widgets look

    I have this option in my theme https://prnt.sc/Fm2nsnxdu0eW , but you can use a plugin for that.
