Many thanks @sucuri1

I can confirm that the issue occurred on Siteground. I have over a dozen sites using Sucuri on Siteground and have been for several months but this is the first time the SALTS auto update killed my wp-config.php and brought a site down.

Over the weekend the LOGGED_IN_KEY acquired *\ as the last two characters. This made the remaining lines become commented out lines and thus broke wp-config. Replaced the first 8 SALT keys and all was OK. SG support contacted but was unable to find a cause. SUCURI automatically updates!!! Found the auto update on Jan 25th at 17:37.

Ernest,

Thank you – you hit the nail on the head. I’ve removed the Envira Gallery from the post types and the error vanishes.

Many thanks

Opening the default tab is fine for the casual visitor but if you want to direct some specifically to the fourth tab in the page you don’t want to default tab (usually going to be the first tab) to open…you want their full attention on the fourth tab’s content.

Thanks. Personally I would like an option to create links that open a page and scroll to and open a named tab.

I have a client page that has a dozen tabs with tabular data in each tab. Before that they had a dozen different pages but I felt a single page was a better option but hadn’t considered their links throughout the site that pointed to these individual pages! My bad!

Have been and the decision was made to permanently remove the PayPal button from the single product page and force customers to use the basket.

@drwpcom
Caching is definitely disabled for those pages.

@lorro
1. It is not part of the core WC plugin but is installed at the same time as WC. It is a WC plugin – WooCommerce PayPal Checkout Gateway.v1.16.23.

2. I’ve now tested in three browsers and it’s working.

@senff
3. All OK at this end but none the wiser as to why it stopped working.

My best guess is my cache plugin (Swift Performance Pro)

Oddly enough – it seems OK now? Now I really am confused!

Done.

Hey Remi,

Ordinarily I would but I have had issues before with iThemes and they NEVER respond. Feel free if you want to point out the issue but I’ve given up on iThemes support.

Remi,

Many thanks for such a comprehensive response – and it helped a great deal. I am running on the latest versions of everything (WP, Themes and plugins) by the way and I have now isolated the culprit – iThemes Security.

However, I forgot to mention originally (soz!) that this is a development site running from a multisite environment and although I thought I had deactivated plugins from the site before I reported the issue I forgot that I had a couple of Network Activated plugins to consider.

I just have to find another way to secure the development platform for now.

Hi Mathieu,

I am always using the latest version of WordPress and update themes and plugins as they are released.

Ticket submitted.
