### Theme ###

Name: Twenty Twenty
Version: 1.2
Author URL: https://en-gb.www.ads-software.com/
Child Theme: No – If you’re modifying GiveWP on a parent theme you didn’t build personally, then we recommend using a child theme. See: How to Create a Child Theme

Using Health Check Troubleshooting with a base theme (2020 or Astra) and only Give Core + Elementor, the error happens as soon as I activate the GiveWP Donation Widgets for Elementor – no other plugins were running.

You will see that line 357 of give_receipt.php is displayed as:

<? }

It is highly likely that you have short tags disable in your PHP.ini.

That said, the RFC for PHP states that it proposed that this short tag format for PHP is deprecated in a future release.

The developers really should therefore have this coded as

<?php }

Hope this helps.

@denspad Thank you! I made the change to the file and it works!

@webdevmattcrom Are you able to apply this change to the next release?

Thanks!

@denspad You’re right – checked the PHP settings and short_open_tag was OFF. Thanks again.

Thank you @denspad for sleuthing that! That explains why I couldn’t replicate the problem.

@davidmarek — I just pushed out version 1.1 which fixes this issue. It also adds support for previewing the PDF Receipt row on the donation receipt table, and adds the give_subscriptions shortcode if you have Recurring Donations added.

Enjoy!

@webdevmattcrom Thanks Matt. Plugin’s great and makes it a lot easier to add GiveWP components. Do you have plans to add styling options for these?
