Problems after updating to wordpress 4.8

Hello
I have two websites both using wordpress 4.8 and Jetpack.
On one of my sites after updating to wordpress 4.8 I noticed I couldn’t connect from my admin panel to my site and vice versa. My hosting company looked into this and changed the cloud linux php selector and enabled ‘MultiPHP’ for this domain and set php5.6 as the default php.

Could you post your site URL here, so I can have a look?

If you want it to remain private, you can also contact us via this contact form:

Also new products were not showing on the site as well as some older products.There was also a black box on the home page and product pages with the title older products. When this was clicked it brought up a wide range of products.

Can you confirm whether this goes away when disabling the Jetpack plugin? I haven’t heard of this issue happening with Jetpack before.

I disabled all plug-ins and re-installed them until I found it was the Jetpack plug-in. But I have lost our contact information and contact form is displaying as html on the front page, as well as the social media connections.
Although I haven’t had the same problems on the other site I have lost the contact form and contact information.
Can you please advise if I should change anything.

When you delete Jetpack from your site it clears the options as well as any settings you have set, you will have to re-enable the contact form by going to your dashboard and clic on “Jetpack > Debug (down the bottom of the page) > ‘Access the full list of Jetpack modules available on your site.'”

As for your social media connections, you’ll need to re-add them by going to your dashboard and clicking on “Jetpack > Settings > Sharing > ‘Connect your social media accounts'”

Let me know how you go

Visual Editor Text Widget now forces Visual mode rather than Text mode. And it kills Javascript in the widget — replacing hyperlinks: (a href=”…..”) with just (a)! (Had to replace angular brackets with round brackets!)

Ah yes, that new visual editor will break any code that you’ve written in the default text widget. It looks like an update will add the old text widget back as a standalone widget:

Closing this off for now. Let us know if you need a hand with anything else.
