PS1.7.6.1 Admin broken - Error msg ContextErrorException

[gray]

A strange exception during product edit. The error is:

Property Product->description_short length (227) must be between 0 and 220

even though it displays "138 of 220 characters allowed"

Then after trying to find the cause. I went into PS/debug

Error message now is displayed on admin and I cannot get into Admin at all.

Any ideas where the problem might be ? or a way to get out of debug mode without going into admin (as i am totally blocked).

The following is the debug/error message in Admin

 (1/1) ContextErrorException

*PROBLEM SOLVED*

It looks like I found the problem (I think).

I was using PHP 7.3

Downgraded to 7.2 and i got different errors.

Downgraded to 7.1 and I can now get into Admin with no errors, and also Front ene.

So PS 1.7.6.1 is not compatible with PHP 7.3 or 7.2 despite what it says on https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/basics/installation/system-requirements/

Change Version (see edit history)

[gray]

Hi - I am using PS1.7.6.4 but still with PHP7.1.

As long as everything works, I am not going to upgrade to PHP7.2 or 7.3

[ageselle]

got this as well, tried everything, then found this message, downgraded to 7.2, it fixed EVERYTHING!!!

thank you gray!

I have the error with PHP 7.2, so i don't think is related to PHP version

[ageselle]

Hi, I "fixed" this by downloading the new version and doing the "manual" upgrade procedure: https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/basics/keeping-up-to-date/upgrade/
