Exception Caught - Mexitek - PHPColors
Development and Programming
5 years ago
Greetings. I recently updated to 5.2.4 (from 3.5.17). Site is running PHP 5.6.21.
This is the result I get following any of these actions:
- Edit existing channels.
- Create new entries on some channels.
- Edit new entries on some channels.
I researched this on Google and found only this: https://expressionengine.com/support/bugs/21906/exception-hex-color-needs-to-be-6-or-3-digits-long
Any advice is much appreciated!

Ah, one of the add-ons could cause non-standard values to end up in the status color settings. That’s likely what happened.
Go take a look in the exp_statuses table- make sure the highlight color has 6 digits. I’m betting it’s blank.
