Unserialize warning

At this moment the fix is: update php to 7.0 or later.

To go back to the previous version (6.9.15):

De-activate and delete the plugin. You will loose no data.
Download the previous version and install it on the plugins page -> Upload plugin in zip format, and activate.

I commented out the if-else statement on lines 136 – 141 so that the wppa_unserializewppa_unserialize function in wppa-wrappers.php can still be called (obviously does nothing) without faulting. I know this avoids the intended fix to PHP unserialize, but I expect that vulnerability still exists in v6.9.15, which is why these wrappers were written in v6.9.16.009. This way you get benefit of the other improvements of v6.9.16.009 and avoid the unserialize issue until a more robust improvement can be made. What am I missing?

Thanks; Ron

Had the same problem and changed PHP to 7.2. Solved the problem

@ascensionadmin
Disabling wppa_unserialize() is not a good idea, because:

– Custom data in albums and photos will no longer be displayed
– The ‘rootsearch’ and ‘subsearch’ options in searching will not work
– The viewcounters will be incremented at every view instead of only one in an hour for the same visitor.
– Maybe more abnormal behaviour…

Upgrade PHP to 7.2 worked. Thanks

Thank you for those details. Deep down I knew it couldn’t be that easy.

Hi,
