Problem in twig files

[Chafalleiro]

For some reason I need to delete " and icon and icon starts with 'icon-'" and "and icon starts with 'icon-'" form several .twig files in /app/plugins/CoreHome/templates in order to see the stats. It drops this error codes

Unexpected token "name" of value "starts" ("end of statement block" expected) in @CoreHome/_topBar.twig" at line 4

File is /app/plugins/CoreHome/templates/_topBar.twig, error dropped at line 4 Changed {% if icon is defined and icon and icon starts with 'icon-%} to {% if icon is defined %}

Error: Unexpected token "name" of value "starts" ("end of statement block" expected) in "@CoreHome/_dataTableActions.twig" at line 22

File is /app/plugins/CoreHome/templates/_dataTableActions.twig, error dropped at line 22 Changed {% if footerIcon.icon starts with 'icon-' %} to {% if footerIcon.icon %}

Error: Unexpected token "name" of value "starts" ("end of statement block" expected) in "@CoreHome/_dataTableActions.twig" at line 58

File is /app/plugins/CoreHome/templates/_dataTableActions.twig, error dropped at line 58 Changed {% if activeFooterIcon starts with 'icon-' %} to {% if activeFooterIcon %}

Error: Unexpected token "name" of value "starts" ("end of statement block" expected) in "@CoreHome/_dataTableActions.twig" at line 114

File is /app/plugins/CoreHome/templates/_dataTableActions.twig, error dropped at line 114 Changed {% if action.icon starts with 'icon-' %} to {% if action.icon %}

The data seems to be stored normally, but if I don't edit the templates I can't see the analytics.

Tested in wordpress 5.3 in Xammp for windows x64 and Debian squeeze under Plesk

Thanks @Chafalleiro

That's quite an interesting an issue. Any chance you could send us the details of your system report?

I'm having the feeling that maybe some other plugin is using Twig as well and is using a quite old version of Twig.

Thank you very much @tsteur . I have indeed some very old plugins running. And thanks to your observation I've found the culprit, "Background manager" from Myatus, it isn't listed anywhere anymore XD

It is totally incompatible with the new version of Twig, and drops infinite fatal errors when I try to use it with background manager. Seems that I must retire that pluging ;,,( It had very cool background features.

@Chafalleiro I found the code in https://github.com/Myatu/Background-Manager-WP and indeed it ships with a 6 year old twig version.

I'm not sure how exactly twig is loaded (in https://github.com/Myatu/Background-Manager-WP/blob/06ae8cedce43feabec888cf530aadffbf727f4df/background-manager.php#L31), but it seems to load the classes globally using some equally old utility: https://github.com/Myatu/pf4wp

I guess there is nothing that can be done to avoid this issue.

[Chafalleiro]

Thank you very much :)

Well, since deactivating the plugin solves the issues, I supose that I could deactivate when checking the stats, and reactivate when I've done the checkings.
