Error when using Envato WordPress Toolkit

Posted in: Newspaper

I’m getting the following error when trying to update the theme using the toolkit: Warning: function_exists() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /var/www/html/wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php on line 1770

I just moved hosting and this is the first time I’ve used the toolkit and it worked before. I’ve moved to a AWS LEMP stack, so I’m assuming that it’s related, possibly permissions? Any ideas on where to start or what directory might need it’s permissions changed on?

Heh. I just posted on the update thread about that — I never use it as there is often a weird permissions error based on who “owns” the folders, such as Apache or FTP user. So, I only use FTP myself. Best “safe” way to do it.

@Chris S Yeah, I saw that. I just would prefer the toolkit method if I can. It’s really easy and automatically creates a backup before updating. I guess I’m spoiled by being able to use it before so I’m hoping I can continue to use it with this new hosting. If not, then it’s not the end of the world, I can do FTP.

Hi,
Unfortunately we have no solution for it as the tool is created by envato, not us. Sorry. You can maybe open a ticket on their support for a solution as they are the devs and can provide answers to why this happens.
(we also recommend FTP: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/)
Thank you for your message!
