That other plugin is just updating a blog setting (the title and description) using the built-in function update_option().

Elementor is the one that’s hooked into this action and produces the fatal error because cannot find some post ID.

It looks more like the other plugin has no control over how Elementor is acting, so I’m here so you would troubleshoot your plugin instead (or “as well”).

It doesn’t solve the fatal error, but I discovered there is another error when saving site settings on step 3 when importing a demo (since September 2020).

The blog title and description in save_ocean_customize gets passed through sanitize_hex_color and thus almost always the demo importer sets those values to NULL instead of what the user has filled in.

https://github.com/oceanwp/ocean-extra/commit/28db178c633d1acd3a7bd6ff0e1f126028c0f3ad#diff-b4edb6d28a6f255bea5e66214c69ca1dab1739d24438aa5f3de8d176e1ae58feR717

Has the development stopped on Ocean WP and it becomes a rather out-dated theme, or is it still safe to use it for setting up new WordPress sites?

I increased the log message length and did it all again. This is the full error message:

This happened to me as well.

I set up a completely new WordPress 5.8.3 using the Docker image and after logging in to the admin account, went straight to the themes, installed and activated OceanWP, then Ocean Extras, as was prompted. After that I got a button to start the theme setup wizard.

I selected a demo to import (Yoga), confirmed installing all the plugins that were requested during the process, except the sticky header plugin, filled in the site title, logos, left the colour settings intact. Saving this page lead to an error page where “Welcome”, “Choosing demo”, “Customize” are blue, “Ready” is grey, and a text is displayed about a critical error having occured.

The error log contains these details:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Invalid post. in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/core/settings/page/manager.php:101\nStack trace:\n#0 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/core/base/document.php(1506): Elementor\\Core\\Settings\\Page\\Manager->ajax_before_save_settings(Array, NULL)\n#1 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/core/base/document.php(711): Elementor\\Core\\Base\\Document->save_settings(Array)\n#2 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/core/kits/manager.php(236): Elementor\\Core\\Base\\Document->update_settings(Array)\n#3 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/core/kits/manager.php(398): Elementor\\Core\\Kits\\Manager->update_kit_settings_based_on_option('site_descriptio...', '')\n#4 /var/www/html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(305): Elementor\\Core\\Kits\\Manager->Elementor\\Core\\Kits\\{closure}('Tikai v\\xC4\\x93l vien...', '')\n#5 /var/www/html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(327): WP_Hook->apply_filters('', Array)\n#6 /var/www/html/wp-includes/plugin.php(470): WP_Hook->do_action(Array)\n#7 /var/www/html/wp-in in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/core/settings/page/manager.php on line 101, referer: https://localhost:8583/wp-admin/admin.php?page=owp_setup&step=customize

The site is using the theme, but I suppose that _something_ has not finished installing. If I go into the admin, I get the OceanWP prompt to “Run the Setup Wizard”. If I try to do it all over again (the custom settings were back to the default ones), the same result happens.

OK, thanks!
Yes, maybe we’ll increase it to 192M from 128M.

The requests I meant was when I open product list, product page, add products to cart, check out. Maybe not all, but many.

Those returns you probably mean are included in a conditional block that does not execute for me because $_SERVER['USER'] == 'www-data'. Why is there such condition added, that $_SERVER['USER'] must be empty?

Porto support replied with a generic instructions on how to debug problems by disabling plugins and clearing caches.

So, we’ll leave it at that, no meaningful action on their part is expected apparently. We’ll keep the QuickView disabled.

Thank you for the reply!

Yes, we do not use any additional plugins. I’ll tell this to the theme developers, we’ll see what they say.

This is an URL to a product, but we’re switched off the quick view so you won’t be able to see it. We cannot allow products be added to cart without the extra field. https://juristavards.lv/veikals/produkts/mazais/

Thank you for the prompt reply! I’d missed the cog, I see it now. Great, thanks!

Oh, the colour of each answer seperately. Thank you for the pointer!

Thanks for the link! Looks good.
