My Events page breaking

I’m using [ESPRESSO_MY_EVENTS] to display an order history for customers, but as of recently the page no longer works. https://events.praxiscet.com/account/orders/ (login only)
The H1 appears, but no content after that. Even the footer is gone.
This is all I have in the body for that page:

<h3>Events and Courses</h3>
<p style="font-size: .9em; margin: 0;">Click on event name to review event info page. Click on Action icons to edit your registrations, view invoices or receipts or resend registration emails.</p>
[ESPRESSO_MY_EVENTS]

Any guesses about what might be causing it to break?

Oh! interestingly, it works for logged out users.

Hi,

You can capture then log or display the error that’s causing the breakage by activating WP_DEBUG mode. This guide has further instructions:

Thanks Josh.
My php-error.logs repeatedly shows this warning:
PHP Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /srv/bindings/[server location]/wp-includes/post-template.php on line 284
I guessed it means that PHP 7.2 is conflicting with one of my plugins, so I deactivated all of them (which fixed it) and reactivated until I found that the EE WP Users add-on is the culprit. Of course this makes sense since the problem is clearly with the [ESPRESSO_MY_EVENTS] shortcode.
Is this a conflict that you’ve seen before?

The EE WP Users add-on isn’t exactly a culprit here, it’s the plugin that adds the [ESPRESSO_MY_EVENTS] shortcode. In other words, if you get a blank page when viewing a page with the [ESPRESSO_MY_EVENTS] shortcode, there’s an error being thrown when the shortcode is being parsed.

A PHP warning wouldn’t usually cause a blank screen either. You’ll be looking for a PHP Fatal error in those logs.

ok, that makes sense. The fatal error that i have been receiving is PHP Fatal error: Uncaught EE_Error: An attempt to access and/or write to a file on the server could not be completed due to a lack of sufficient credentials. in /srv/bindings/[server location]/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/core/helpers/EEH_File.helper.php:101

Usually, that’s due to an issue with the server config/permissions.
Can you try adding
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
to your wp-config.php file somewhere before the
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
Does it load then?

Okay, that finally did it for me (just like the others with this error) 🙂

For anyone else searching, i’ll note that my host is Pantheon, and there seem to be frequent permissions errors with Pantheon.

BTW, thanks for your patience, Josh! much appreciated.
