I just bought more disk space instead. I’m already uploading smaller images than original (all are under 1MB each). I’ll look into the WebP format — thanks for that. Hopefully you’ll support offsite storage in a future version!

Thank you! I was making things more difficult than they needed to be. It’s working for me now. Great plugin!

Thanks for the quick response! I’m concerned about the increase in cybersecurity attacks and I want to keep my website safe. I’ll set up the plugin, thank you!

@ian-helliwell I noticed the same thing just now and came to this post. I’m able to update again. Are you using Async JavaScript? I’m suspecting it might have been that one, but I’m not sure. Either way, my issue is gone.

Thanks for the update, Ian. You’re right, doing these manual updates is getting old.

Thanks for reporting it, Ian. It’s always so reassuring to know that others are seeing the same thing. Let us know if you figure it out, and I’ll do the same.

Thanks for the info! A malware scan and work done by Sucuri didn’t find anything, so I think there is a conflict preventing updates for me. I’ll keep manually updating (renaming the files folder and then reinstalling) and hopefully the next release fixes it.

Wow, so you rolled back to 5.7, basically? And that worked? I’d rather do manual updates until 5.9 fixes it (I assume). Does anyone know anything about the next minor version?

I have nightly backups via VaultPress that should be complete enough. I’m having Sucuri take a look in case it is security related. When they’re done I’ll do some manual updates.

Could a plugin do this kind of thing to core WP functionality? I haven’t changed the site in years other than updates.

I also found a few white pages with this update. I recommend using WP Rollback just for this reason. Once error messages showed it was WP GPX Maps that was causing the issue, I rolled back to version 1.7.00 and my errors went away. So, it’s something in this latest, minor version. Good luck, all!

Your site has it enabled — you can see the reCAPTCHA icon in the bottom right of the page. It’s different than previous versions (from Google). Check out https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/v3 for an overview of the version you’re using. Looks good!

My version said 3.1.1 but settings wouldn’t save. I deactivated the plugin, activated it again, and now it works again. Thanks!

It has been working fine lately, no idea why. Maybe the new WordPress update fixed something? Either way, I’m back in business. Thanks!

I’m sorry, you’re right, I’m in the wrong forum. Whoops!
