Found the same bug and this was most helpful. Thank you!

Concerned that there has been no acknowledgement of this bug or an update to address it. OK to fix like this temporarily but not a good long term solution.

WP.org shows no update in 5 months — hope that doesn’t mean that MasterSlider is being abandoned.

I didn’t have 1.6.0 in backups but did have 1.4.5 and that does work normally. Tough dealing with all these different site builders. Thanks so much.

That fixed it. Thank your for the lightning quick response. Now I just need to understand why the button isn’t displaying on the site. This was a problem in 1.61 that I hoped 1.62 would fix and didn’t. Running Divi and their caching often gets in the way of things.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much for the very prompt reply.

The code from github that disables the pop-up when the Divi Visual Builder is in use did the trick perfectly! I really appreciate that as it is an excellent solution for my customer.

The pop-up always worked perfectly when not in builder, so no issues there.

Thanks again!

To try and better understand this issue with no interference from anything else on my customer’s site, I’ve setup a development copy of WordPress.

– It has no plugins installed other than the ME Calendar.

– It uses the default TwentyTwentyTwo theme. All other themes were removed.

– It has just a single Weekly ME shortcode generated that is embedded on the sample page.

– It has just one, brand new event entry. The date of the event is June 1, 2021 and the repeat is yearly. Everything else in the events is default.

With this super minimal setup, the problem persists. As soon as you try to go to May 2022, the calendar goes into an infinite loop and the associated web server process goes to 100% CPU until it finally fatal errors when it reaches the PHP process time limit.

I’ve provided full admin access information on the support ticket (45671) on support.webnus.net.

Please see the initial post of this thread for some very specific data about the settings of the weekly shortcode as well as the area where the infinite loop occurs in the code.

Thank you! I appreciate the pursuit of this issue.

I followed up by email and provided the information that was requested. The ticket #45671 was open for a day and half and then was closed with no follow-up. Has the problem been found and resolved?

Thank you!

Document with tech information has been emailed to [email protected]. Thank you!

PS — Please note that this is not a PHP notice or warning but a loop that results in a PHP timeout and a fatal error.

Hello,

We just updated the very latest version 6.3.0 running under WP 5.9 and the problem still persists. An infinite loop in the yearly section of render.php that occurs when moving over to May 2022.

I’ve re-patched our render.php with the $i < 25 work-around, but this is a temporary workaround for a rather nasty issue.

Thank you!

You are very welcome. I definitely found other things broken, like the admin, so anything that depends on the JavaScript functionality of the plugin is probably not working properly or at all.

JavaScript errors can also have an adverse affect on other site functionality. Hopefully the dev’s will get a working solution soon for WordPress 5.5

I’m not a support person for this plugin, but I found the same issues as you. They are all related to the fact that the current release of the plugin is not compatible with WordPress 5.5.

I downgraded my installation of WordPress to 5.4.2 using the WP Downgrade plugin and all of the sort, pagination, etc., all started working normally again. Of course, you should make certain you have a full backup of your site before doing any downgrade and your mileage may vary with success of the downgrade.

Until they release a version that is compatible with WordPress 5.5, staying on the 5.4.x release is the only real solution.

I concur with @ldeschenes. I want to set the sort order, and not allow the user to change it or see it. This used to work. Now I have to add a label, enable user sorting and select a field from the list. Then use CSS to hide the drop-down from the user. Very unsatisfactory. You should be able to set the sort order, but not let the user see it or change it.

In ssb-main.php, replace single line 217 with the following code:

if (is_array($buttons['btns']))
	$btns_count = count($buttons['btns']);
else
	$btns_count = 0;

Just bumping this as I’m seeing it after site upgrade to PHP 7.2. Have temp patched the plugin on my site to prevent the warnings, but a check like the one above in the next release would be great. Thanks!
