WP Registration Error

The problem seems to be in the menu_page function in the module.php file in the includes directory. My guess is that the new WP version had a change in the sanitize_file_name function so that a string representing a file name without an extension is now returned as “unnamed-file.” concatenated to the string instead of just returning the string. So that is why it returns “unnamed-file.wp” instead of “wp”. This is then used by the REQUIRE statement which is supposed to include the index.php from the WP subdirectory but instead fails.

When can we get a fix for this? This is making my three sites unuseable.

wp has not changed that function that function is probably overwritten by another plugin. i already experienced that with badly written plugin.

to solve that the only way is to find the plugin creating the issue and ask the author to fix it.

there is a specific code that I can run in a wp to find out which plugin is filtering the original version of wp function

So is there a way that you can run that code to identify the plugin or can provide that code to me so that I can do so? Thanks for your response.

I did a grep on the plugins directory and see the following statement:

./updraftplus/admin.php: public function sanitize_file_name($filename) {

Which seems to be redefining the function. Have I identified the problem plugin?

Nope, the error code including “unnamed-file” does not come from the updraft version. That code comes from the formatting.php file in includes. Could there be another WP change that causes the code in the WP version of the sanitize_file_name function to insert the “unnamed-file”?

`if ( false === strpos( $filename, ‘.’ ) ) {
$mime_types = wp_get_mime_types();
$filetype = wp_check_filetype( ‘test.’ . $filename, $mime_types );
if ( $filetype[‘ext’] === $filename ) {
$filename = ‘unnamed-file.’ . $filetype[‘ext’];
}
}`

I have the same problem after upgrading to 4.5.3.
Stefano, your suspect about “badly written plugin” sounds really strange to me because I actually downloaded a fresh and clean install of wp 4.5.3, then installed just the newsletter plugin and the “wp-registration” setting page fails requiring the unnamed-file.wp exactly as my production site with several plugin installed.
So actually seems that your plugin is not fully compatible with 4.5.3.
Do you plan to provide a fix or just drop the full compatibility with the latest version?

Thank you.

In the plug-in page I still see “Compatible up to: 4.5.3”, that might be mostly true, but there’s a backend option completely broken (experienced and tested by few people), so I think it’s a bit unfair keep that compatibility information after reading this topic.
I voted for incompatibility between wp 4.5.3 and newsletter 4.5.4, and I suggest other people experiencing this issue with a clean wp install to do the same.
Of course we should thank the developer(s) to this free plugin release, and probably nobody expects instant fixes for free products, but would be very useful, at least for those that uses that option, to just KNOW if the developer(s) plans to give a check to this issue.

Thank you again.

Hi thank you, I’m better checking the wp code. I initially suspected a plugin because I corrected at least three plugins till now which was breaking the sanitize file name function.

Will get back asap with a new version.

Stefano.

Ok, wp seems a new extension checked by WP… it’s the mime type of WordPerfect (I wonder if it can be really new…).

Anyway a patch is needed of course, I’ll try to release it tonight.

Stefano.

Stefano,

That is fantastic. Not only to we appreciate your wonderful plugin, but also your dedication to keeping it maintained. I am sure that I represent many who find your efforts commendable. I will look into your profession extension.

Version 4.5.5+ should definitively fix that issue. Thank you for your report!
