Hello,

The page which manifests the problem occurs on a ‘members only’ page, meaning, the problematic part of the page is only generated/displayed for logged-in users. I will try your suggestion and see whether this resolves the issue since the problem only occurs for logged in users at present.

I have just checked disabled Minify for logged-in users with “Empty cache” chosen when saving settings. The problem page seems to work fine now!

Two comments, then:

1. Given what you said, does it not make sense to have this option enabled by default upon installation, then? (I doubt I tinkered with this when I installed the plug-in…)
2. What exactly does Minify do? (in general terms)

Thanks very much for your assistance in solving this issue!

Thanks so much for the speedy response. Apologies for not being able to get to this until now.

Being relatively new to details, I’d like to take it one step a time, so below I’ve posted the screenshots from Performance > Minify. Once we’re clear on that, happy to move on to the other options!

It turns out that for some reason, my server-level cron job wasn’t working. Eventually I was able to solve the problem by replacing it with another server-level cron job.

The command wget -q -O – https://<domain-name>/wp-cron.php did it for me.

See also discussion here.

Thanks, did that. If there’s a resolution, I’ll post it here.

Thanks for the quick response. I’m not sure whom you mean by ‘support email’. I’m sure I saw a Wordplus support email address somewhere, but can’t seem to find it just now… (unless you mean something else?) Apologies if I’m being daft…!

Much appreciated,

K

Most welcome, @kseaborn ! Happy to help! Thanks for uploading it!

No worries, Katie. As I say, I’ll see what I can do come the intersession. I have an interest in such things, anyway. It’s just between this, and Swift, and ANTLR, and Grammatical Framework, and… ?? I’m sure you know exactly what I mean.

Thanks for taking the time to test it. It worked for me, but I don’t use all the features. Deeply appreciated.

Unfortunately this is the one week (or more) of total unavailability at my end as term starts next week and ‘thanks’ to a new vision issue which began last term, staying on top of my ball has become a real issue.

I did some tests when I did the conversion and all worked for me, so I think I’ll have to take it on faith that the extra adjustments will be ok. In the unlikely event that I can find the time to look at it, are those changes clearly marked?

Next point: I understand the semi-hiatus situation so no criticism–but we probably should be finding a way out of that. As noted a few times, I never learned PHP (I belong to the by-gone era of B programming and the like but have tried to update myself as necessary to my immediate work) but would consider looking at it after term end (i.e., April and beyond) though I must note that I’ll be hosting an international conference in June as well. But if I can even reach a level of having a general sense of what’s going on that would be helpful, as there are issues I’ve noticed beyond the PHP version which I’d be interested in looking into.

So… short version: will try to get more up to speed in April and beyond and we’ll see how that goes. In the meantime, hoping our combined changes will see us through.

@codeispoetry Thanks for this. I was wondering what people’s experience was with the patch. I’m not PHP-savvy either (given time I could learn, but time is the big issue!). I’m hoping that this will work for us and that if we have sufficient positive feedback/lack of negative we might get @kseaborn to post it.

Fingers crossed!!

Thanks. Maybe post the link to the provisional code in your Zotero form post?

Good luck with the testing.

@net-buoy As did I. Fingers crossed!!

(If you’re stuck, you’ve got nothing to lose trying it… I’d appreciate knowing how it goes, as I’ve not upgraded my sites to PHP 8 yet. Also, past experience suggests Katie has limited time so it could be a while.)

Hi
I’m not a PHP expert, but I managed to run the existing plug-in through an updater app (Rector) to bring it to PHP 8.

I’ve set up a test site on my local machine and it seems to work there under PHP 8.0.8.

I make no guarantees and can’t offer support, but if you’d like to try this version and see, here’s the download link (from my personal NAS cloud).

Let us know how you fare!

Good stuff. Thanks!

I’ve noticed lately that Zotero bibliographies locally have en-dash over dash, which is actually good, because that’s typographically the correct chocice.

I’m hoping the fix won’t obviate this?

Thanks very much, that’s helpful!
