Cars Pro Theme – Installation failed with php 8.2

[Rico Leutritz]

Hi Support Team,

I have the cars-pro theme installed on my WordPress 6.2.2. In the last days, I updated my PHP from 7.4 to 8.2.7. Now the WordPress send a mail with following stack trace:

An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 630 of file #Domain#/wp-content/themes/cars-pro/functions.php. E: Uncaught Error message: Call to undefined function create_function() in #Domain#/wp-content/themes/cars-pro/functions.php:630
Stack trace:
#0 #Domain#/wp-settings.php(591): include()
#1 #Domain#/wp-config.php(116): require_once(‘…’)
#2 #Domain#/wp-load.php(50): require_once(‘…’)
#3 #Domain#/wp-login.php(12): require(‘…’)
#4 {main}
thrown

When I try to reinstall the theme, the error occurs again.

Can you fix this problem? I will launch my website in the next days.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Kindly switch back to 7.4 and send site URL and the login details to support@flythemes.net so we can just replace the function. Once we done it you can switch php to latest version and it will work.

Thank You

Hi,

thanks for your reply. I found the error by myself and fix it. Since PHP 8.x the “create_function” was deprecated and no longer available. You use this in your funtions.php on line 630.

add_filter( 'loop_shop_columns', create_function( '$columns','return 3;' ) );

I replace the function like this:

add_filter( 'loop_shop_columns', function($columns){return 3;} );

For other users of your templates, I think it is good to change this to the new version. I find your templates amazing.
