Not sure what, why, or where this is happening.

My site runs on Digital Ocean via Cloudflare.

At times the backend times out on Cloudflare. And sometimes it doesn’t. The front end always seems to function. Also in an incognito window and on other computers.

If the backend times out, I do a power cycle on Digital Ocean and it seems to be working again. Until it doesn’t. I also get a warning from UpTimeRobot if my site is down or up. The time between down and up is a little less than one hour. Every time.

My site runs on the latest version of WP.

I don’t know where to start, so I’m starting here. Hope someone can help.

Have there been any issues using the DO Managed Databases with FlowPlayer? It works with most other plugins, only FlowPlayer and Matomo Analytics will not function properly.

Any help

The errors include:
– An inability to set a featured image in a post
– If I open an existing post and then save, its featured image and metadata get stripped
– If I open the media library, I can see thumbnails of the images, but if I try and search for a file/image there are no results

I’ve disabled some plugins that I thought might be culprits, but still can’t identify the issue. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might have been messed up as a result of the restored snapshot?

To be clear, the current version of the theme was working fine yesterday, prior to the restoring of the snapshot, so I don’t think the theme is the issue.

Clearly, this is quite frustrating as I now can’t edit any posts for fear of stripping them of their featured images and other metadata (e.g. SEO title/description etc).

Any help would be much appreciated!

I’m having difficulties finding the proper setup for working with this plugin and hosting our media items at a S3 compatible bucket (Digital Ocean Spaces). I have tried the DO Spaces Sync plugin and also the WP Offload Media Lite plugin in combination with this one.

Both plugins enable me to connect and upload files from within the wordpress UI to the bucket. However, when I use the testing features within this plugin they fail all whenever it involves reading for the bucket. The test debug info points to the bucket though.

This is simply because I have the feeling the trigger hook used for uploading in the test not handled(or overrided) by the S3 bucket plugin. So the generated webp file never gets there at the bucket. Has anyone got a similar setup and willing to share the details with me?

Would be great. Thanks in advance.

I’m using the DigitalOcean one-click install which comes with the plugin bundled. I’m using a Managed MySQL DB to which I connect without a problem through the private network and a Managed Redis database as well. When I try to connect to Redis however, the plugin says “Connection Test: Failed”.

Does it not work properly when Redis is running on a separate server?

I have tried both through the public and private networks. I can do the following as mentioned in the DigitalOcean docs to test and connect to the redis server without a problem:

telnet HOST PORT

But the plugin still says the test failed.

I have added the Host, Port, User (though the plugin says it’s only for LSMCD) and password. DB Id is set to 0.

Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Thank you.

my host Digital Ocean has sent the following email regarding their managed database service

“Our systems have indicated that your MySQL cluster, xxxxxx-mysql-sgp1-xxxx, has tables without primary keys. We have identified that MySQL tables without primary keys can lead to service replication issues that jeopardize performance and availability. If primary keys are not present for database tables exceeding 5,000 rows, data-loss can occur.”

Would it be possible to add primary keys to the following tables?
wp_wpfb_gettwitter_forms
wp_wpfb_post_templates
wp_wpfb_reviews

Thanks in advance

In the original definition for wp_yoast_seo_meta there is no primary key, there is a unique index on object_id. This index has the same effect as setting the object_id as primary key.

I would recommend to replace the unique index with primary key to make your plugin compatible with more MySQL setups.

At one point I managed to add a 2nd domain (WordPress site) on my existing droplet that already had a domain, using a tutorial found online but I can’t find it anymore. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks
