I updated to 1.28.0 and some pages and CPTs with Views crashed. I enabled debugging, but there is no hint (except a deprecation notice about strip_tags).

I had to restore a backup with 1.26.3 and it works. I noticed that some versions between 1.26.3 and 1.28.0 did have problems with WP Gridbuilder (facets not appearing). But I don't know which version caused it, because I cannot download older versions from my account.

Deactivating the Views module makes the pages visible, but obviously without the views content.

I am clueless now, probably some functions don't work anymore...

Hello,

If you deactivate WP Gridbuilder, and enable Views extension, do you see the white screen (error) when editing/viewing those pages? There could be an error between two plugins after you update Meta Box AIO to the new version.

Deactivating WP Gridbuilder and all its extensions does not help. Also, deactivating MB AIO and installing only MB Views does not help. Always the same: "There has been a critical error on this website."

I have managed to narrow it down to the view and code that causes the white screen.

It is here: {% if field2 == '' and post_type != 'designs' and term.taxonomy != 'places' and mb.is_singular() %}

term.taxonomy != 'places' causes the error.

It had been working for a long time and not anymore. Why? How can I replace it?

Hello,

The default variable term.taxonomy should be run on the type archive page, it is noted in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-views/#main-query
and it still works on my demo site with MB AIO 1.28.0.

If you output only the taxonomy slug, does it throw an error?
```
Taxonomy: {{ term.taxonomy }}
```
Also, please share the full error message so I can understand the issue on your site. You can get it in the WP debug log https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/

The error is:

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: array_merge(): Argument #2 must be of type array, null given

{{ term.taxonomy }} works in a taxonomy archive, but on a single it causes the error now. It was not the case before.

I used it inside a conditional for a dynamic page hero. The idea was to have a single dynamic page hero template for all types of content and archives. I guess I will need to separate it.

Yes, please separate the view template or use another WordPress function to get the post term
