Hello awesome CBOX-peeps,

I have a brand new CBOX install with WP 4.2.2 and CBOX 1.0.10. I’m getting
the same issue that I’ve seen from other folks on the forum, whereupon I
click CBOX Theme Options and get a blank screen.

I wasn’t able to find a non-Github link to an authoritative fix for this
problem (the Github is a mix of deleted and added code, so I wasn’t sure
which was the right line), but I tried to paste various permutations of
that code into my child theme’s functions.php with no success.

I suspect that fix is out of date anyway, since it pertained to WP 2.6.x
release, and now we’re way past that.

What’s the latest?

Thanks!

Damian

@damiansol You’ll need to enable error reporting first so that the actual error can be identified. This topic covers that process.

Cheers, Christian

Thanks Christian.

I enabled error reporting and, while I saw many errors with various permutations of “Strict Standards: Declaration” in them, this one stood out as a likely culprit:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /var/www/vhosts/icln.cbox.twohatsconsulting.com/wp-content/themes/cbox-theme/dashboard/templates/cpanel_header.php on line 2

I looked in that file and noticed an extra <?php opening tag, so I deleted it as a test and the page seems to work now! Sweet.

I’m not a Github user, so I’m not sure how to best submit that as a needed change, but it’s clearly an error that should be corrected. Let me know if there’s some way I can contribute there, and thanks again for the help.

Well, that’s odd – the file looks okay to me. Here’s a link to it as it currently stands in the GitHub repo:

https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cbox-theme/blob/master/dashboard/templates/cpanel_header.php

How does it differ from the file that was on your system?

And, so I can try and reproduce this, which version of PHP are you using?

Hi Christian,

Here’s the report from the Theme Settings area:

• Infinity Version: 1.1b
• Developer Mode: Disabled
• BuddyPress: 2.2.3.1
• MySQL: 5.5.44
• Permalinks: custom
• PHP: 5.4.41
• WordPress: 4.2.2
• WordPress multisite: no

One other thing I just thought of — the server I’m hosting this demo site on was recently hacked. In so doing a few files were defaced. It’s possible that this file was hacked to the degree that there was an additional <?php opening tag added by the malicious code.

Probably best to delete the cbox-theme and probably all plugins and start from scratch.

Also, do a malware scan of your WP install:

Hello Ray,

Thanks for that plugin. I installed it and found one backdoor script, which I deleted.
