Thanks for that! That was actually really close, but resulted in a 500 error on the site. I tried a few things and this is what ended up working for me:

Renamed existing .htaccess to back it up, created new .htaccess file containing the following ONLY –

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)?blog [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://blog.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

So again, just a slight variation from what was in the article you linked. obviously, my existing instance doesn’t have a top-level domain (a .com or anything after the dns hostname) so if yours does you’d want to use that in line two. So if my original site was https://www.blog.com then the code would be:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)?blog.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://blog.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I fixed it. Apparently at some point the values for the fields changed. I confirmed the tag info was correct and used the comma/space as suggested. Looks like it’s working now. Thanks!

Sorry for the delayed response – I was on vacation.

I changed the fields as you suggest. Example – {field:email_1525651248380}, {field:additional_email_optional_1527189629529} This didn’t seem to fix the issue.

I still get the message “Your email action “Notification Email” has an invalid value for the “bcc” setting. Please check this setting and try again.” when submitting the form.

Note – this worked for at least 2 years and nothing has changed in the configuration. Any advice?

I’ve resolved this issue. It was SELinux. It has to be enabled in our environment so we had to add a boolean. Alternatively if we didn’t need/want it enabled, simply disabling SELinux would’ve solved the issue as well –
FYI – The commands to enable/disable SELinux are below
enable:
setenforce 1
disable:
setenforce 0

A good way to test is to simple turn it off and try to run the wordpress setup wizard. If you can connect finish the setup and re-enable SELinux. If SELinux is the culprit, you will get an error establishing database connection error when you re-enable it.

It’s probably important to note that SELinux provides important safety features and disabling it is kind of the lazy way to address the issue.
I found this article that helped.
https://techblog.jeppson.org/2016/10/install-wordpress-centos-7/

and here is more information regarding SELinux and using booleans.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SELinux/Tutorials/Using_SELinux_booleans

I hope this saves someone some time one day.

Thank you for the response. I think I have all the required php modules installed. PHP musqli looks like it’s installed. I ran a yum update and restarted things to see if that helped, but I’m still hitting the same issue. I ran the php script and it’s returning “Connection failed: Permission denied” however, from the same host, if I run “mysql -h blogtest-db.mydomain.com -u wordpresstest -p”, and use the same password I just specified in the script, I get access. Any thoughts on that? Below is the summary from my phpinfo if it helps. Thanks for helping out! I really appreciate it.

I’m out of office today and tomorrow but I will try to apply the permissions again recursively and I will let you know the outcome. Thanks!

Sorry, I inherited this instance. There is a pro version installed, but the license seems to be expired. I’m not sure how long it’s been expired, but it’s been at least the 2 years I’ve owned it.

Thanks for the reply András –

I went ahead and set the folder permissions for /var/www/html to 777 prior to posting this to eliminate folder permissions from the equation. What else could I look at?

Hey Ed – Thanks for the response. We’re running PHP 7.2.14.

Additional details –
Linux version 2.6.32-754.10.1.el6.x86_64 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-23) (GCC) CentOS release 6.6 (Final)

Thanks. Sorry for the late reply. We nuked the plugin and restored the previous version from our DR server. SO the issue was resolved rather quickly. However, I see the plugin still has updates available and I’m holding off on the until we can determine what caused the 500 errors. As for server logs. I would need to do some digging. The only error thrown on the front end was the 500 internal server error. Have you had any other reports of similar issues with the update? I’m seeing some other posts on the support forums. I also see another update was released 5 days ago. These were the only release notes I could find – https://theeventscalendar.com/announcing-the-events-calendar-4-8-0-1-event-tickets-4-10-0-1-and-event-tickets-plus-4-10-0-1/

We are currently on 4.7.4. On WordPress 4.9.9 multisite

Thanks!

Thanks for that. Submitted my request. You can close this ticket. Thanks

Specifically, these are the errors we are seeing when performing a PHP7.2 compatibility check.

Please advise. Thank you.

Could you please advise me on the status of PHP 7.2 compatibility? I see you stated in our previous conversation that you will release a new version before 12/31/2018, but I do not see where a new version was released in over 1 month. We are using CM Answers Pro as well as CM Answers Anonymous Posting. It is active on a number of our blog sites and we are getting ready to upgrade PHP from 5.6 to 7.2. I need to know how this will impact the plugin before we proceed. Otherwise we’ll have to delete the plugin and find another solution. Please advise on the compatibility of your plugin with PHP 7.2.

Uninstalling due to lack of support.
