Unable to Add New Employee

Hi,

When you say you are unable to add new employee, *how* are you unable to do this?

Do you see any type of error message?
What is displayed on the screen?

Thanks

Hi there

I seem to be presented with the following error:
Fatal error: Declaration of CMB2_Type_Text_Date::render() must be compatible with CMB2_Type_Text::render($args = Array) in C:\xampp\apps\wordpress\htdocs\wp-content\plugins\business-manager\includes\lib\cmb2\includes\types\CMB2_Type_Text_Date.php on line 13

I am not sure if you have experienced this before?

Thank you.

It seems to be an error with the CMB2 extension, which is used for the fields and metaboxes within the Business Manager plugin.

I’ve not seen this particular error before but I will take a look and see what is causing the issue.

I can see that you are using this locally with XAMPP. Have you tried it on a live server environment?

I have not tired on a live site as I have been observing wordpress plugins for a potential solution. I was going to consider rebuilding a clean environment and try again. I too thought another plugin could have conflicted with Business Manager, but only a thought.

Thank you for getting back to me!

This is a known issue with older versions of CMB2. Temporary fix (and permanent fix for plugin author) described here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/admin-is-broken/#post-9890913

Hi there

Pleased to say BM is working!

After setting up a new local environment, I ran PHP > 5.6.

@jtsternberg; thank you for the information provided.
@bzmngr; I believe this is what the issue was.

Thank you.

Thanks @jtsternberg will look at updating CMB2 in the next version
