Category and Tag pages are now all blank

  • Please refer to my blog: https://olddudeblog.com/

    Today I updated the Wilson theme from ver. 1.24 to ver. 1.26. My site now serves up blank pages when I click on any category or tag (I don’t know how long it has been doing that).

    I deactivated all plugins to see if they might be the culprit, but the problem persisted. I then loaded the “Twenty Sixteen” theme and all my category and tag pages loaded properly.

    I don’t know for sure that the new Wilson update is the problem, but I don’t know what else to try.

    Can you help?

    Thanks,
    Doug

    I uninstalled your update (ver. 1.26) then reinstalled the stable version (1.24) and the site works properly again.

    Getting exactly the same problem at https://www.brockwellswimmers.com.

    I’ll try and install ver. 1.26 and hope it this is fixed on the next update.

    Yep all back to normal again using version 1.24.

    I got this from this link if anyone else is having the same problem:

    https://themes.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/29514

    I had the same problem and i solved.
    Open archive.php file and search for the following line:

    if ( ! empty( tag_description() ) ) {

    Replace it with the following:

    if ( tag_description() ) {

    This happens due a wrong use of empty() function.
    From the PHP docs on the empty function:

    Note: Prior to PHP 5.5, empty() only supports variables; anything else will result in a parse error. In other words, the following will not work: empty(trim($name)). Instead, use trim($name) == false.
