Spicebox is not compatible with my PHP 7.3
by givemyresume·6 years ago

Hi There!
I am have updated my PHP version 7.2 to 7.3 no there is problem with my Spice Box plugin that It is not showing the customize content of my WordPress site. Is there is any one who can help in this matter? I am not a code developer so I don’t know what to do with this problem. Anyone who can resolve this issue then Please.

Fixed another broken feature
by jonghj·6 years ago

june 3 2020

Another update that breaks the chilly theme.

Spicepress got a new feature which works fine, Chilly however shares most files with spicepress but alas.. the include file is missing from the list of include files for the chilly theme.

to fix it:

check spicebox.php file for the line containing (line 53):

if ( ‘Chilly’ == $theme->name || ‘SpiceBlue’ == $theme->name){

then insert this line below line 53:

//Alpha Color Control
require( SPICEB_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/inc/controls/customizer-alpha-color-picker/class-spicepress-customize-alpha-color-control.php’);

so your file will look like:

if ( ‘Chilly’ == $theme->name || ‘SpiceBlue’ == $theme->name){
//Alpha Color Control
require( SPICEB_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/inc/controls/customizer-alpha-color-picker/class-spicepress-customize-alpha-color-control.php’);

=========================================================
Another older issue:

Today was the second time my website was badly broken by this plugin, due to the fact that there is an error in the include section.. it wants to include a file that does not exist. therefore the site throws a 500 server error.

I fixed this for the first time by renaming the file in order for it to be opened. Also added that to the support pages, but today just a repetition of moves. again an update and again with the bad code. I keep fixing this manually, but spicebox is not on auto update any longer.

Hace cambios sin permiso al instalarlo y estropea tu Web
by jmsdan·7 years ago

No recomiendo para nada instalar este Plugin.

Hace cambios no autorizados:
– Te cambia el logotipo por el suyo
– Te cambia la página de inicio y pone texto para hacerse publicidad….
– Te cambia el pié de página y pone su propio logotipo.

No lo instales, sobre todo en producción. Te estropea todo….
¡¡¡¡¡NADA RECOMENDABLE!!!!!
