Hey there!

My apologies for the extremely late reply here…

To install the plugin you just install it like any other normal plugin, activate it, and you should be redirected to a screen which will do the db.php copying for you.

In previous versions of the plugin, directly copy-pasting the db.php file was not working as internally we were doing some string replacements. This has been fixed in the latest versions (v2.1 and later)

Thank you for reporting this bug.

v2.1.1 was just released a few minutes ago and it fixes the issue: A check was added to ensure that the pdo_sqlite extension is enabled before proceeding with the installation.

For future reference: Reviews are for reviews, not for reporting bugs. This issue took so long to resolve because it was never reported as a bug, and therefore nobody saw it until now – 2 weeks after this thread was created.

The plugin hasn’t been updated in more than 2 years because it doesn’t need to be updated. It does its job perfectly fine and no bugs have been reported.
As for the fact that it deletes users, of course it does. That’s literally what “reset” means… It resets a WordPress site to its defaults, leaving the admin user intact. Everything else is deleted in the database.

Yes, the plugin deletes all users from the database – except the “admin” user (or the current user in case an “admin” user does not exist.
That’s what the plugin is supposed to do, it resets the WordPress database as it is clearly stated in its description.
This is not a problem or a bug, it is the plugin’s intended behavior.

It’s always good to be vigilant ??

I’ll go ahead and mark this ticket as resolved, if you encounter any issues feel free to open a new ticket in the github repo (or here)

Yes, it is. Did you encounter any issues?

Hello there @sumopurohit

There are instructions in the link you posted… Did you follow them? What exactly is the problem you’re having?

Possible? Yes. Wise? Not so much. You’d still have to download a few gigabytes of fonts. The fact that you download them in batches instead of all at once makes no difference… Not everyone enjoys a fast internet connection and forcing users to download all these things is environmentally irresponsible.
Is a fancier dropdown really worth downloading all that data every time you want to make an adjustment to the font-family? To some, the answer is definitely yes, but it’s an unsustainable practice that makes a lot of assumptions. It assumes the client has a fast connection, does not have data-metering, and doesn’t know what they want so they have to preview the fonts.
I live in an area with poor internet speeds and my data plan limits me to 70GB/month. Having a dropdown like that would mean that if I start scrolling the font-family selector I won’t be able to do my job that day because of the wasted data…

There is no preview in the dropdown.
In order to have a preview in the dropdown, one of 2 things would have to happen:
Solution 1: Download ALL fonts from the google API and style the dropdown
Solution 2: Use images instead of text in the dropdown

Solution 1 is unacceptable because in order to do that users would have to download a few gigabytes of fonts on their local machine in order to view the fonts
Solution 2 is unacceptable because we show all fonts, and they get updated from the google-fonts API regularly. Having images would be too hard to maintain and is only a viable solution with a small subset of fonts and not all of them.
There are a couple of font-selectors out there that use this approach, but they either show select font-families, OR they don’t get regularly updated.

If there is an “admin” user and it’s not you, then that user will be kept and not yours. Have you tried logging-in with the admin user?

I assume your site is using FTP to access the filesystem instead of using the PHp direct method, and I also assume you haven’t added your FTP credentials in your wp-config.php file.

Check your wp-config.php file. If you see an entry for FS_METHOD, change it from ftp to direct. If you don’t have a line for FS_METHOD, add this:
define( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct' );

As a sidenote for future reference, please avoid posting screenshots of errors. Images are slow to load, they are on external sites that don’t necessarily respect the visitors privacy and they may not even exist in a few weeks or years.
If instead of posting a screenshot you copy-paste the actual text error, then that text will be searchable, stored and we’ll be able to reference it in the future. The next person to have a similar issue will be able to find this ticket and hopefully a solution to their issues. There is no reason to post a screenshot when you can just copy-paste the error text here.

Try adding this PHP somewhere…

add_filter( 'kirki_output_inline_styles', '__return_true', 9999 );

That _should_ override any previously set filters that force-load CSS using the old and slower method.

Hmmm I just noticed you’re using maxstore-pro and not the free version. Have you tried contacting your theme-author and ask them about this? Maybe they tweak the CSS printing method there. Unfortunately I don’t have access to the premium version of the theme, but with the latest version of the free theme everything works as expected

I tried installing your theme locally and I can’t replicate the issue… Have you checked your server’s error log to see if there’s something going on there?
I also see you’re using an older version of the plugin, v3.1.3. Currently Kirki is on version 3.1.5 and a lot of things have been fixed and improved in those last 2 versions.
On my localhost it doesn’t even load styles using action = kirki-styles, styles are added inline with improved performance. If after you update the plugin you still have an issue please check to see if there’s any custom code somewhere on your site that changes the default behavior of Kirki’s loading and instead of adding them inline they get added as an external reference (perhaps you have a filter?)

That doesn’t sound right… Usually it’s no more than a few milliseconds! Could you post a link to your website so that I may see what goes on there?
Thanks ??
