[Plugin: Events Manager] rewrite rules trigger "Compilation failed" warnings

    FYI: PHP=5.3.14

    Events manager 5.1.8.5 is generating warnings as follows:

    Warning: preg_match() [/phpmanual/function.preg-match.html]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in /data/websites/angove/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 201

    Warning: preg_match() [/phpmanual/function.preg-match.html]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 1 in /data/websites/angove/wp-includes/class-wp.php on line 202

    This is due to an unescaped “?” in the following regexes, which PHP is trying to interpret as a shortcut for {0,1}:

    ?page_id=871/(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})$
    ?page_id=871/rss$
    ?page_id=871/feed$
    ?page_id=871/event/(.+)$
    ?page_id=871/location/(.+)$
    ?page_id=871/category/(.+)$
    ?page_id=871/?$

    s/871/your events page/g

    In all cases, I reckon you should be escaping the “?” as “\?”

    cheers,
    Ross

    I’m guessing this is when you’re not using permalinks?

    Ha… now that you mention it, it seems that this website hasn’t been configured for events yet (no events page selected, for example). So, maybe this can be ignored? ??

    [NB: someone else set this one up, I was just seeing the warnings on my dev copy when working on some other aspects of the website]

    I’ve noted this down and will fix asap (probably after the 5.1.9 update)

    btw, in case I don’t reproduce this, are you getting this on every page, or on specific instances?

    G’day Marcus, sorry if I wasn’t clear before, this was happening because Events Manager hadn’t been configured. I went to the Permalink Slugs section of Events settings and saw that there were the usual slugs, hit Save All Changes, and it’s fixed. It was simply a matter of someone installing the plugin but not configuring it.

    FYI: yes, it was all pages, because it was in the rewrite rules; but fixed now since above done.

    I guess I’ll leave it at that for now then ??
