    Since Trac ticket 32315 is now resolved, the error message is visible, and it’s time to fix it:

    Failed to insert log entry: WordPress database error: Processing the value for the following field failed: url. The supplied value may be too long or contains invalid data.

    Unfortunately, there is no context information, so it’s difficult to know where this is happening or why. iThemes team, please find this bug and squash it for good. Consider running it through mysql_real_escape_string(), extending the database column to accommodate longer values and/or truncating the value before insertion.

    Still nothing?

    Hi @galbaras,

    … extending the database column to accommodate longer values …

    The URL column currently seems to be a varchar(500). As a workaround (until iThemes produces a fix) have you tried changing that column to varchar(1000) or greater? Changing the column size will not be undone when updating the plugin, so it’s worth a try ??

    Note: varchar data type is used for storing text whose length can have a maximum of 65535 characters.

    This isn’t a confirmed fix, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen this error, so I’m going to close this thread.
