Pods and EM collision? preg_match() warning

    Hello!

    I’m getting the following warnings. They appear on both the public side (except not the homepage but every other page) and admin side (except not the dashboard, but Pages and Posts):

    Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Unknown modifier ‘/’ in /home/***/domain.com/tnp/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 204

    Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Unknown modifier ‘/’ in /home/***/domain.com/tnp/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 205

    It seems to have shown up after I added the Pods plugin. Yet, when I deactivate all plugins, the warnings don’t go away. If I reactivate Pods, the warnings go away. If I then activate EM, the warnings come back. If I deactivate both, again the warnings are still there. If I reactivate Pods, they go away again. If I then deactivate Pods and THEN reactivate EM, the warnings reappear.

    If I deactivate all plugins, and reactivate one-by-one, saving EM for last, everything is fine once I reactivate Pods up until I reactivate EM, at which time the warnings appear again.

    So, I just can’t tell which is the culprit.

    Things I’ve tried after the warnings appeared:
    1. Switched to 2015 theme. Doesn’t make warnings go away.
    2. Deactivated all plugins. Doesn’t make warnings go away.

    My WP, theme, and plugin versions (all up-to-date):
    WP: 4.2.1
    EM: 5.5.6
    Pods: 2.5.1.2
    Genesis: 2.1.2

    Thank you!

  • Sounds like some rewrite rules are causing your issue, between activating / deactivating each combination, try going to Settings > Permalinks > Save changes — that will flush the rewrites and should help you track down what is really causing it.

    Also consider adding a plugin called Rewrite Rules Inspector which can show you your rules and you may be able to see which rule itself is causing the problem.

    Thank you for the quick reply, Scott. Forgot to mention I did the Permalinks thing – still warnings. I’ll try the Rewrite Rules Inspector and see if that gets me anywhere. Much appreciated!

    Strange. I loaded Rewrite Rules Inspector, but I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking for.

    I was still having issues, so I deactivated Rewrite Rules Inspector and loaded the Query Monitor plugin, and now the warnings don’t display (suppressed). To be sure, Query Monitor indicates the same 2 PHP warnings , they just don’t display on the page (front-end or back-end).

    On the back-end, the only pages that are affected are those of type /wp-admin/edit.php, so Pages, Posts, and any CPTs. If this is getting far afield, I apologize and will mark as resolved.

    another workaround is to disable wordpress display error as per article – https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Debugging_in_WordPress since this is not a fatal error and everything should work fine.

    Thanks, angelo. That is what I’ll have to do. Although the issue remains, I can live with it for now. The debugger in me cringes just a little at marking this resolved, but it will have to wait for another day. =)

    I wouldn’t mark this as resolved until a solution to fixing the issue is found. Hiding it doesn’t count ??

    Thanks, Scott. I’m certainly not trying to hide anything – I just don’t know how big a deal this is. It’s now un-resolved again, but at least I can get on with more site dev. Thanks!
