XF 2.0 No Forums Will Open, Fatal Error

[BigPete7978]

So I recently upgraded to a new ThemeHouse theme and added in their XenForo/Wordpress connection. Now when I click on any forum from the forum list I get the following error:

ErrorException: Fatal Error: Unsupported operand types

Any ideas? I am currently running XF 2.0.9, and downloaded the most recent ThemeHouse UI.X 2 Dark, and most recent XPress

Is the style you installed compatible with XF 2.0.9?

You should check with the style author (you may need to downgrade the style, or upgrade XF to the latest stable release).

Figured it out. It was because I manually installed the style, rather than the auto install. So yes the wrong version of the style was selected, so it was incompatible.

Hmm... I had the exact same problem today! I installed an upgrade to a themehouse style last night - automatically, not manually. I thought everything was fine, then this morning I found out I can't see any forum. Can see the forum index but not the forum. I get a 505 error referencing the forum_view.php file.

Apparently the style is a version ahead of the xenforo version we have installed right now. I think we have 2.10. I'm relatively new to XF and don't know how to downgrade the style - or how to check which version of XF we're running exactly. Any help would be appreciated!

 

[Paul B]

Upgrading XF to the latest version is the best option.

Failing that, you may need to contact the style author to see if they have a procedure for downgrading - it may mean uninstalling the existing style and reinstalling a lower version (which would likely result in a loss of any customisation).

I suggest you open a support ticket for @ThemeHouse style.

Thanks guys. One question since I'm so new to XF... how do I upgrade XF? It's my understanding that this version I'm on, 2.0.10 (I confirmed) has to be done manually? But from the current version on it can be done automatically through the admin area? Am I right on that? Thanks!

Check this thread out too: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/fatal-error-today.158429/

Error with Themehouse most likely, though we have not been able to confirm that.

2.1 does support upgrading from the control panel, depending on server configuration. But yes, in 2.0 you need to upload the files manually. See the process in the manual:

i was able to download an older build of the style when i recently updated to 2.0.10 build. you can access them here:
Your Downloads – ThemeHouse

their theme version matches the xenforo version so i just downloaded the 2.0.10.0.0 build and fixed the error on my forum.
