@babylon1999 Hi, I was able to fix it by removing the password protected log in and deactivating/activating woocommerce. Immediately the database update finished and the post that I scheduled in the future was published too. It looks like the password protection was the issue here. Thanks for the help anyways!

@babylon1999 I’d appreciate any suggestions for fixing this. Last time I tried updating WC database and waited a couple hours for it to finish it apparently caused massive CPU seconds spike in my hosting.

EDIT: here is a screenshot of scheduled pending tasks, it shows date from the past (September).

I made a test post scheduled 5 minutes in the future and it was NOT published (missed schedule), meaning Cron does not work properly.

EDIT2: forgot to mention the subsite in question is behind a log in — meaning it does not get visits. Could this be the cron issue?

Thanks in advance.

@babylon1999 It is hosted on Siteground and they confirmed no such script is implemented and the multisite setup looks correct to them, they did not find any Cron issues.

They did however suggest to reset file / folder permissions and modify .htaccess like this
′

<IfModule mod_dtimeout.c>
<Files ~ ".php">
SetEnvIf Request_URI "index.php" DynamicTimeout=300
SetEnvIf Request_URI "wp-admin/themes.php" DynamicTimeout=300
SetEnvIf Request_URI "wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" DynamicTimeout=300
SetEnvIf Request_URI "wp-admin/admin.php" DynamicTimeout=300
</Files>
</IfModule>

I am not sure if I should do it or if that will help

@ihereira Sorry about that, please download the status report TXT here on dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t9w4177pt0ci68x/systemreport.txt?dl=0
Thank you!

Thanks for the fast reply.
I really don’t know why the file type was messed up, but I fixed it by going to the feed settings and clicking on save again. It is now a proper XML file.

I had an issue that GMC wouldn’t recognize the changes even though I refreshed the feed in WP.

Then I deleted the feed on GMC and re-added it. Now it approved the whole feed.
So this issue is finally resolved now.

@t-p Thank you for clarifying the rules I will keep this in mind. The intention of this post was not to discuss a commercial plugin, but I wanted some insight from other users about this type of situation (how to handle developer asking to modify WordPress configuration) as I read about some of its dangers but I’m not too sure what’s considered common practice or not. I don’t want to go after the developer, as I don’t think this will be helpful at all. As for the price, this was just to indicate the price range of the plugin.

@diondesigns Thank you for your insight! This kind of request seemed suspicious to me and I will have to find something else. It’s surprising a highly rated seller from codecanyon would ask for this, just to fix images showing in a page header.

@rainfallnixfig The Woo Payment was network wide enabled (it is multisite).
I made a test site in my subdirectory with just basic install of WC und Storefront theme and the stripe plugin. I can confirm there is no country availability option there.

After inspecting my main site again, i found the country selector is wcml_payment_gateways_mode which is in fact coming from WPML translation plugin. I had no idea. So the reason why it’s not possible to save (in basic install it’s not working either), must be some kind of conflict with WPML’s multilingual-multicurrency mode?

I do want to mention that I find it odd the Stripe plugin offers Bancotact, EPS and iDEAL to customers from any country in Europe? Here is a screenshot https://snipboard.io/pkESd9.jpg
I did some more test with a VPN from Austria, Netherlands, France and the mentioned methods are listed every time. Is this normal?

@rainfallnixfig Hi, I don’t use WooCommerce Payments. It is fully disabled in my store. I only use the Stripe Plugin and PayPal, + bank transfer. As you can see here:

Thanks!

@xue28 Here is a new link https://file.io/98QLsehc0Elg
If it doesn’t work again, here is another one: https://textdoc.co/J9H0gj6TNylqw8pI

Thanks!

@ihereira Report: https://www.file.io/mHi9/download/xXcGs0kxBDbT

I don’t have any recent fatal error logs

Thanks!

Edit: Yes, I’d like to restrict some gateways to only show for certain countries. For example I don’t want to show Austrian gateway EPS to any others if that makes sense. I’m not sure if the plugin does this automatically. I did test it via US VPN server and it only showed me credit card (and PayPal) so looks like it the Stripe plugin only shows relevant methods? But for Germany it still shows iDEAL and EPS and others, which is not used in Germany.

@sukafia Yes that’s correct

Screenshots:
1) choosing specific country for giropay method and saving settings
https://snipboard.io/lzxX7m.jpg

2) when leaving the page, warning appears “Your changes may not be saved”
https://snipboard.io/uyisY6.jpg

3) after reloading page, it still says “All countries”, so changes have not been saved.

For reference I was successfully able to save country restriction on a different non-Stripe payment method. But with stripe methods (giropay, sofort, ideal, bancotact etc.) it is not working at the moment.

Thanks!

EDIT: I did a test with VPN and visited my store checkout. It only shows relevant payment methods (so for USA only card and Paypal) so it looks like all is correct. I just thought Stripe plugin will display the local gateways for every location, which would be unnecessary. Still odd it won’t save the settings…

Changing from simple to variable product (if that is all you did) has zero impact on traffic, it must be something else, I recommend to inspect your analytics more.

Maybe it’s due to a plugin. Go to file manager or FTP client and rename the plugin folder to something, to deactivate all plugins. You should be able to log in then and can rename the plugin folder again. Then activate everything one by one

Posting this in case it will help someone else in the future:

How I made staging site for free:
I used free plugin NS Cloner to clone my site to another directory i.e. mysite.com/staging.
That way I have a staging site within my own network.
Then I added password protection to this site.

@roxannestoltz Thanks for the suggestion, I don‘t think Wp Staging is free though, it is about 139€ (business plan for multisite support) it‘s a bit out of my budget at the moment.
