Yes, all the pages are published.

I’ll send an email to support to follow up.

Hello. Are there any updates on this?

Thanks!

Just wanted to share some more testing I have done on my side. This is definitely caused when you use, PHP 8.2, the Classic Widgets plugin and you add the Events Calendar widget to a sidebar/widget area. I’m guessing maybe that widget is different or using older code than when you are using the new widgets with the block editor?

Steps to reproduce for me:

• Run PHP 8.2.x
• Don’t have any active events. If you have an active event with the current timeframe, things work just fine.
• Have a theme that includes the old Appearance -> Widgets
• Install and activate Classic Widgets plugin
• Go to Appearance Widgets and add the Events List widget
• The site will crash on load with the error: There has been a critical error on this website. With the error log from my first post

However, if you do NOT activate the Classic Widgets plugin, and you add the Event List widget to the same area using the newer block widget editor, everything works as it should. No errors. In fact, after adding it – you can even re-enable the Classic Widget plugin and it will still work, as long as you don’t re-add the Event List widget in the classic widget screen.

WordPress 6.6.1
The Events Calendar Version 6.6.3

Hi @jescandoit thanks for getting back to me and the details, including the video.

A couple of clarifications on my end. We are using the latest version of WP and using the theme BeTheme. I have done testing on my end, including turning off all plugins and switching to the base theme. Here is what I have found.

• The prior version of PHP (7.4.33) does not have this problem.

• The theme we are using uses the old widgets (Appearance -> Widgets) and we have the plugin Classic Widgets installed.

What I have found that is causing the error on PHP 8.2.23:

– If you add the Events List either as the old widget OR the new block editor widget
– You have NO upcoming events, or in our case the only event listed has passed (Aug 31)
– You are using PHP 8.2.23

With the above in place, when the site tries to load that widget block, it throws the error I attached above and crashes the site layout.

For now we can work around this by making sure we have a placeholder event in place that has an end date in the future.

Hopefully this helps. This only impacts the widget, not the full page on PHP 8.2.23.

Thank you for the quick turnaround. The latest update fixes the issue.

@mohammedeisa Thank you for the reply. I am hoping your security team can contact Siteground so they can adjust their rules. This will impact how we migrate dev to live sites at SG if they don’t open this back up to allow Duplicator to work again.

I received this from Siteground support. Can the devs explain what the malicious attacks are for the Duplicator plugin?

This is just an update to let you know that we received an update from our senior colleagues – it would appear that there is an ongoing malicious attack that targets the Duplicator plugin. This is why we needed to strengthen some of the firewall rules. In case you have an issue with a particular domain/site on our servers please get in touch and we will adjust it just for the domain/site in use.

This has been passed off to the Siteground Security Team for review.

If anyone on here uses Siteground, for the time being you will have to contact support to have them disable the rule in mod_security that is blocking Duplicator from running if you are trying to do a restore.

Advanced support saying it was being blocked by a rule in mod_security. They have disabled it and the installer works.

Trying to get more info, as I don’t think mod_security is configurable by clients.

I am having Siteground support look, but so far they aren’t finding any changes that would cause this.

I took the same installer package over to Hostgator and it works as expected.

I also used this same installer package last week in my Siteground account and it worked fine.
