Upgraded to 1.2.5 and foreach() error showing

Hi @ohiolug, it’s looks like the custom wrapper JSON object you entered is not a valid JSON objet array type. please make sure it is enclosed with [ ].
i.e:
[{“tag”: “span”, “id”: “mywidget”}] //if single element

[{“tag”: “span”, “id”: “mywidget”}, {“tag”: “span”, “id”: “inner”}] //if multiple wrapper element

currently, JSON object array validation is not very strong, so it’ll let you submit any JSON object in with or without [ ] brackets. but the plugin uses JSON object type [ { .. }, {..}]. i’m working on few updates. will release next version soon with fix for this validation issue.

please follow above example type. i think that should fix that error.

Thanks,
Kishor

Sorry Kishor, I’m not a developer. So I’m not certain where to make this fix Can I just roll back to the previous version where this error did not occur?

can you try deactivate and reactivate plugin? see if that fix the problem? if it didn’t you can download old version form https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-custom-widget-area/developers/
1.2.2 is previous version. download and extract it to plugins directory (replace or delete recently updated version). i’ll look into this issue. thanks!

I have this exact same issue. I have tried deactivating and reactivating and I still have the error. I also do not understand where to update that code. Can you please provide more feedback?

This is my error:

Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in … /wp-content/plugins/wp-custom-widget-area/admin/class-wp-custom-widget-area-admin.php on line 332

Thank you in advance.

Same problem here. Isn’t just the case of set $cwa_widget_wrappers as an empty array when json decode return an empty string? I didn’t make a deep review of the code but in my case I saw that $cwa_widget_wrappers is an empty string trying to be iterated in a foreach.

An error is now showing with v1.2.2 also

Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/…/admin/class-wp-custom-widget-area-admin.php on line 332 (same as @schacher – even the line number)

I get the notice on the front end and backend. The issue began with the last update (1.2.5). I rolled back the update to 1.2.2 after the last time I posted and it fixed it but not anymore.

I just tried rolling back to 1.2.1 and it is ok for now. Can you please let us know if you are planning on looking into this issue?

Can we please get some support on this? I rolled back to 1.2.2 and it fixed it for a couple days. Rolled back to 1.2.1 and it also fixed it for a couple days. I do not understand what is happening but obviously there are issues since the new WP release. Please help.

I had the same problem today, found a solution to fill blank values in the database.

Under xxxxxxxx.wp_gdbpvc_cwa table; look for empty values under cwa_widget_header_wrapper column, fill them with h2 or whatever suitable for your case, then try to check again, make sure you purge cache, varnish if you use any plug-in.

I think it is also possible to fix this issue in the backend with editing all Custom Widget Areas one-by-one selecting a proper header wrapper.

Hello,

We are getting the same errors as everyone else across our sites. Please update plugin…

Had to rollback.
