Hi,
PHP 7.4 compatibility and showing some error when Trying to add front matter then showing this error Failed to initialize Plugin Table,What is the issue here?
Thanks
Hi @deep, it’s going to be impossible for anyone to answer your question without more details about the error you saw, the actions you took to produce it, and the environment you’re running. Even without seeing those, I can tell you that Pressbooks currently requires and is fully compatible with PHP 7.3: https://github.com/pressbooks/pressbooks#requirements. Our dev team hasn’t yet tested extensively for 7.4 compatibility, but it’s on our 2021 roadmap.
Issue showing on any editor and this alert is showing-Failed to initialize plugin: table
Please have a look on the attached screenshot.

I do have the same issue.
Hi @deep,
Thanks for the screenshot! Can you provide the error logs when it happened in debug.log (https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/) and/or the browser console (https://wordpress.org/support/article/using-your-browser-to-diagnose-javascript-errors/) if it exists.
You might have to recreate the error.
Thank you for your help!

looks like the table options are not available.
Hi Ho Man and Steel,
Just popping in with a me too. Although this thread started talking about compatibility with PHP 7.4, I can confirm that this is happening on a Pressbooks running on PHP 7.3. I’ll share my full diagnostics page.
The behavior I am seeing is that on any page with the Rich Text Editor, I get an identical screenshot to what Deep shared. His screenshot shows the Book Info page, but I can reproduce on any chapter or part.
I can reproduce on the latest version of Wordpress, Pressbooks, McLuhan with all other plugins disabled. Per Ho Chan’s request, I did turn on Wordpress Debug, but did not get any additional information from the logs except that imagick is not installed.

Thanks all. We can turn this into a bug report in Pressbooks. My first thought is that it might be related to our recent bump/updates of the TinyMCE editor: https://github.com/pressbooks/pressbooks/pull/2069

I’ve just created a bug report for the issue that you’ve reported: https://github.com/pressbooks/pressbooks/issues/2085. I cannot reproduce on any of the networks we host, which makes me wonder whether it may related to how dependencies are managed/updated. We will discuss at a future bug scrub and post any updates in the GitHub ticket and share a solution in this thread, when available.
Bummer that you can’t reproduce. If you need a closer look or want me to try something, please reach out.
Hi all – we think that this error you’re seeing is related to the TinyMCE dependency update we included Pressbooks 5.18.0 (we got ahead of WordPress). We’ve reverted the change in Pressbooks 5.18.1 which was released today: https://github.com/pressbooks/pressbooks/releases/tag/5.18.1. Does updating to latest version fix the issue for those of you experiencing problems?
We’re good after updating. Thanks Steel and team.
