Hi All,
I’ve just tried to remove two custom fields that were using JP Category Select, when I deleted these the fields have been replaced by the following PHP error:

A PHP Error was encountered

I’ve tried uninstalling the fieldtype plugin too and no joy, also tried reentering the fields and deleting and get nothing.

Can anyone please advise on this, I have checked the above post and the version of EE I’m running (v2.3.1) has the amendment in place. I’ve also had a look at the database and the field id is not there in the exp_channel_fields table.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Paddy,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

You have done some good troubleshooting here, nice work.

Can you browse another table? exp_channel_data might have field_id_43 that is where the key would be. Can you confirm that presence of that field_id?

I will be on the lookout for your response.

Cheers,

Thanks a million for the response Shane, was beginning to lose hope!
Just checked the table there and there’s no sign of id_43, can you recommend anything else?

Thanks again,

Paddy

Hey Paddy,

Do you know if you are using in custom publish layouts?

It could be that if you do have some publish layouts that they were built and saved while the JP Category Select plugin was in use. Now that the add-on is gone and the custom field removed, there are left over references to field_id_43. It’s a working theory anyway.

To test this, if you do have custom publish layouts saved, resetting them might help.

As always, it does not hurt to back up the database, just in case. You can never have be too careful with data.

Let me know what you find.

Cheers,

Shane, you’re a gentleman!
That worked a charm, I reset the publish page layouts and php errors were gone.
Probably should have tried that before rooting around in phpmyadmin.

Thanks for your help on this, hugely appreciated.

Paddy

Hi Paddy,

You are too kind. 😊

I am very happy to see that the solution worked and that you are back in business.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers,
