Dear Danny

I tried the upgrade to 2.2.3 on an experiment copy of the main site an the problem remains. You can see the settings here.

All the best

Dear Danny

I have solved the problem with 2.2.0. When I downgraded the plug-in the settings were cleared. I have now resinstated the settings in 2.2.0 and the plus-in works.

I will now do another upgrade on a non-critical site to 2.2.3 and see if that is the problem there do.

All the best

Hi Danny

I had upgraded from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1 when the problem appeared. Same issue with 2.2.3. and 2.2.3 which I tried this morning.

Curiously downgrading back to 2.2.0 on another site failed to cure the problem. The following page is meant to show all the pages in category “author”. https://explore.scimednet.org/index.php/authors/ The page content reads “[catlist name=”author” orderby=title order=asc numberposts=100 pagination=yes]”. This worked until yesterday.

Do you have a copy of the version of prior to 2.0.0 which I could experiment with please as this is a major problem for me since this is a transactional site and doing a restore will cause database synch issues.

I am using Bigsnag to trap errors and it is showing nothing.

Many thanks

Richard

Latest update breaks “List category posts” plug-in. Have had to restore web site to previous version.

I finally found a solution in some apache configuration settings

Very many thanks Alex – look forward to seeing the update.

Sorry Alex, I was in meetings all yesterday. The reason I am using WGet is because the backup files are around 1.7Gb and to copy them to my local PC and upload them again would take around 1 day with my current internet connection. WGet takes less than 10 seconds to move form server to server.

I am not sure that changing the suffix to enable the copy and then renaming the file once copied should make any difference to it. I ensure that I chown the file to www-data:www-data, but nothing happens when I press restore.

I can try and set up an FTP server between the two and move files that way.

The matter is becoming more urgent as the test server keeps getting database connection errors which is causing delays in deployment.

All the best

Dear Alex

I had to Tar/UnTar the file as wget does not support transfer of a .php file. Tried renaming the file and copying it which was much faster. Access denied problem has gone, but using default settings, nothing happens when I press “Restore Now”

Sorry – I missed the other details. In installed and tested about five plugins, all with the same result. Current one installed us Gmail SMTP. The email is being sent from Contact Form by BestWebSoft.

Error log shows no errors.

Previously used Contact Form by BestWebSoft with no issues.

I use cloudflare.com. A free account offers both SSL and CDN caching. You need a couple of Cloudflare plugins to make it work. Cloudflare and CTW SSL for Cloudflare

Dear Aleksandr, thank you, that worked excellently.

Hi there I am running a server at Digital Ocean.

All the best

Last test server timed out

@ashiquzzaman disabling plugins not possible when there is no access to the entire site. However a complete reboot of the server seems to have cleared the problem.
