Dirty and quick fix for qtranslate plugin on WordPress 3.9

This morning I upgraded some wordpress blogs, where I am also using the qtranslate plugin.
After upgrading to WordPress 3.9 the home page was broken.
Looking into the server logs I quickly found the problem:

PHP Catchable fatal error:  Object of class WP_Post could not be converted to string in ../wp-content/plugins/qtranslate/qtranslate_core.php on line 455

I wrote to this quick and dirty patch to have the site back online. If you have a better patch please share !

  3. Hi,

    I have posted about a better fix in my blog: Fix qTranslate with WordPress 3.9. It takes care of the root of the cause by removing the second parameter of the called function. See my post for more detailed info.

  4. Hi mate,

    and thanks for your post, it helped me out to solve this issue.

    Actually, the error is complaining about line 455 and you are changing a different row. Your code does not return any error because it will never get to that line. I finally solved this issue by modifying line 455 like from:
    return $before.($format, $date).$after;
    to:
    return $before->post_content.strftime($format, $date).$after;

    Cheers

  8. Where have I to applicate this patch?

    I’m not sure, but….

    We are talking of
    qtranslate/qtranslate_core.php
    (reach it from plugin page)

    What says picture Saverio posted:

    You havo to fine line of the function:

    function qtrans_strftime($format, $date, $default = ”, $before = ”, $after = ”) {
    // don’t do anything if format is not given
    + return $default;
    if($format==”) return $default;
    // add date suffix ability (%q) to strftime
    $day = intval(ltrim(strftime(“%d”,$date),’0′));

    and copy the + line:
    ” return $default;”
