Getting an error on workpress post update of "Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function Distributor\InternalConnections\get_site()"

[dhanashreekere]

Describe the bug

On updating few of the posts on Wordpress VIP website it throws an error of "Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.".

By checking the network tab it is showing that issue is related to distributor plugin. Error shown below:

To fix this issue I have added the code snippet in networkSiteConnection.php on line 749 by commenting line no. 748 ` //$site = get_site( (int) $blog_id );

if(function_exists('get_site'))
{ $sites= get_site( (int) $blog_id ); } elseif(function_exists('wp_get_site')) { $sites= wp_get_site((int) $blog_id); } `

This code snippet has fixed the call which was failing before.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Updated the post on wordpress. Changed SEO title in yoast plugin for the post and also content.
2. On update showed error of "Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response."
3. On checking the post link, updated the content of post but not yoast plugins attributes (SEO title, meta description, keyphrases).

@dkotter This issue seems to be caused by older version of WordPress(<4.6.0) that does not have get_site() function. Since we only support WP 5.7+, I think this issue can be closed.

Hello @kirtangajjar, We were already on the wordpress's 6.3 version. Still we are facing this issue for few of our posts.

@dhanashreekere Would it be possible to share the full stack trace of the error? I'm assuming both the sites are on an internal network?

@qasumitbagthariya I tried to reproduce this error, but I was unable to. Can you try to reproduce it on your end? Do the following:

1. On a MU site, create a post and then distribute it to the other site.
2. Update post title, post content and yoast title and excerpt.
3. Check if you can get the "Updating Failed" error as reported in the issue.

@kirtangajjar I tried to reproduce but could not replicate the "Updating Failed" error.
