Genesis Blocks – Fatal Error

[Paul Fowler]

Morning...I have not as yet migrated from Atomic Blocks to Genesis Blocks but the latter plugin has been installed.

However, about an hour ago I was notified by WordPress of a potentially fatal error with this plugin, details below

Error Details
=============
An error of type E_COMPILE_ERROR was caused in line 26 of the file /home4/golfinh9/public_html/wp-content/plugins/genesis-blocks/lib/BlockLoader/Module.php. Error message: Declaration of Genesis\Blocks\BlockLoader\Module::activate(array $context): Genesis\Blocks\BlockLoader\void must be compatible with Genesis\Blocks\Interfaces\ModuleInterface::activate(array $context): Genesis\Blocks\Interfaces\void

At the time I was attempting to clone from production to staging within Bluehost. When I deactivated this plugin everything worked OK.

Thus my question is...is this a known problem with the new Genesis Blocks plugin or is this something I need to go back to BlueHost with...as until resolved I will not be migrating from Atomic to Genesis and will leave the latter de-activated.

Best regards

Hi Paul,
There seems to be an update released to Genesis Blocks that addresses an error like you described.

I recommend checking that:

- The production and staging environments are both running PHP 7.1 or higher.
- All plugin files were successfully copied during the migration. (Try deleting Genesis Blocks and reinstalling it.)

Thanks so much for your respective responses. I definitely have the correct version of PHP so looks like I need to address the actual plugin...will have a look at the link that you sent Bianca and failing that delete and reinstall.

Will mark as closed on the assumption this will now work by following your advice.

Best regards

Paul
