Organic widget area block causing fatal errors

I’m getting the same error. There appears to be a deprecated command in the widget source code. It worked for me until 5.9.3 update.

Me too. I tracked my issue to PHP 8. WP 6.0.1 and PHP 7.4, no problems. As soon as I activate PHP 8.0, fatal error.

Hi, same here… I’ve logged this error:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: call_user_func_array(): Argument #1 ($callback) must be a valid callback, non-static method OWA_Block::register_widget_sidebar() cannot be called statically in /home/xxxxxxx/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:308

The error can be fixed by editing line 69 in src/class/class-widget-area.php adding “static” between “public” and “function” like this:

public static function register_widget_sidebar() {

Alternatively, it seems this plugin is being replaced by https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/organic-customizer-widgets/ so you might want give that a spin ??

I did add the code and got this error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token “public” in?wp-content\plugins\organic-widget-area-block\src\class\class-widget-area.php?on line?104
