I just upgrade to latest version and after going to theme compatibility and hit save:
```
Warning: Missing argument 2 for geodir_before_update_options() in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/site/wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-admin/admin_functions.php on line 2990
```
```
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/site/wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-admin/admin_functions.php:2990) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/site/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1178
```
Hope it helps.

Hi, there! Same issue here:

WordPress 4.1.1
AVADA and AVADA Child 3.7.4
GeoDirectory Core plugin 1.4.2
Last step of the installation guide http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/basic-installation/
[x] Set geodirectory home page as your home at …wp-admin/admin.php?page=geodirectory&tab=design_settings [Save]
Produced the white screen and the following error messages:
```
- Warning: Missing argument 2 for geodir_before_update_options() in .../wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-admin/admin_functions.php on line 2990
- Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at .../wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-admin/admin_functions.php:2990) in .../wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1178
```
Then the error messages disappered.

Just to update this, it happens in a lot of places of the admin. If you go to design, change something and hit save, the exact same error shows up.

So its something general when saving admin options of WPGD.

Cheers.

Hi,

That is a PHP warning and not an error and should not really be shown unless on a dev server (new PHP has it enabled by default)

Add this to your child theme function.php to stop showing errors for now and i will have a look on Monday.
```
ini_set("display_errors", "0");
error_reporting(E_ERROR);
```
The 2nd argument is not being used for anything in that function so it’s only the fact the warnings are showing that are causing problems.

Thanks,

Stiofan

Its not only a Warning at the top, its a blank page and just the Warning showing.

In some options everything saves fine, in some others, blank page with the Warning. (So you don’t even know if things were saved).

Disabling Warnings in my local environment worked.

Thanks.

Hi Rajeshchandra Devjee, just apply the fix suggested by Stiofan and you will be good to go. Your server isn’t supposed to show php warning, it should only logged them in the error log.

Thanks

Hi, I’m getting the same error. Can you tell me exactly where I should insert this code? Just anywhere in the file? Thanks, Yvette
