Thanks so much @joergpe …. Alda, DANKE ??

The workaround not only provided the solution, but also the explanation … wie kommt man denn nur auf so etwas???

We ?cleaned“ wp-config.php and the problem disappears – Duplicator does it’s job AND will finish gracefully again now.

WE SOLVED OUR PROBLEM ? ?? ??

We had to change (renew?) the page layout of the front page to a layout with a sidebar!

Previously it was showing a layout with a sidebar (yes, but this was wrong), but we set it to a different layout and then set it back to the correct page layout (again).

So now everything is great again!

Keep on going your great work at themegrill!

*cheers* Hans

hi Barsha Paudel,

thank you for your quick answer! There are no confusion about your documentation. It is clear where to set the configuration.

But to be clear: There is no effect! See my screeshot to displays the Default Page using the various sidebar layout – switching between sidebar left or sidebar right has no effect. In both cases there is no sidebar anywhere to see: https://ibb.co/4ZmJJzy

And we found, there are no area for sidebar shown in Customizer->Widgets for frontpage, see screenshot: https://ibb.co/YbrYGDG

We do use Classic Widget plugin (it’s now activated again).

As a suggestion: Do you have any hints how to clean install ColorMag again or to reset some configuration settings to do a kind of ?restart“?

Thanks in advance,
Hans

hi Barsha Paudel,

thank you for your quick answer and for the link to the instructions/description.

I tried to carry out the notice and checked it twice – the position is known in Customizer: Unfortunately without success.

It turns out that none of the settings have an effect in the “Default Layout” area in the Customizer mentioned above. I’ll send a screenshot that shows the situation and at the same time excludes hopefully the possibility that I made a mistake https://ibb.co/L9xpkg0

There ist no ?sidebar“ anywhere for ?default layout“ and me’s missing the option ?sidebar left AND right“, too.

Furthermore: None of the “tiles” on the left in the upper “Default Layout” area have any influence on the live preview on the right.

At the same time, I let the web server used output possible PHP errors, but that didn’t produce any results (no errors visible).

I also tried deactivating the plugin for “Classic Widget” ( https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/classic-widgets/ ) – with no noticeable effect.

However, with the “classic-widgets” plugin deactivated, I see a (German) error message, which I will briefly translate here:

The colormag featured posts vertical widget block is affected by errors and may not function properly. Please check the development tools for further details.

For this the screenshot is on https://ibb.co/b1x229P

What else could I try?

Thank You – did just used the form ??

same here!

The issuse was probably caused by a PHP upgrade. Which PHP version are you using?

For me one of these quick hotfixes helped: both solve the problem reliably, but are not sustainable:

• downgrade php to the last functional version (for me 8.1)
• temporarily do without the Matomo plugin (delete or move the “matomo” folder from wp-content/plugins)

see also https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo-for-wordpress/issues/614 and https://support4305.rssing.com/chan-56203784/latest.php

Good luck!

I observed something very similar in customize.php – the error message from here is:

PHP Warning: Undefined array key 1 in /wp-includes/vars.php on line 32

mind you: “vars.php” is WordPress kernel code.

In fact, this behavior appears to be caused by some data not being properly set somewhere in the theme. Maybe that helps?

I was able to solve this problem as a hotfix by falling back from PHP 8.0 to 7.4.

We found a HOTFIX for this issue – see https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/upgrading-php-7-4-to-php-8-x-there-is-an-issue-using-colormag-theme/

We created this topic two days ago, but title topic is misleading because the CHILD theme has nothing to do with it ( that was a mistake / wrong way ). So we opened a new topic to report / review the issue better.

Admins may close this ticket/topic as not relevant anymore.
