Yes, there are many… which is why it is stated in the documentation that the MainWP Dashboard is supposed to run on a (more of less) vanilla install and not on a site you use for other stuff as well:

https://kb.mainwp.com/docs/mainwp-introduction/

That does seem odd. Anything in the browser console?

Also, did you check if you meet the other system requirements?

PHP Safe Mode: Disabled
PHP Max Execution Time: 300 seconds+
cURL Library: Enabled
cURL Timeout: 300 seconds+
MySQL Version: 5.0+

Same here, it works but it’s painfully sluggish no matter what hosting I use.

Off of the top of my head, I did not test it but this approach should work:

Log on to your SQL, search and replace all urls in the wp_posts table. You may need to adjust the script to your respective table prefix (where it says wp_posts).

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'https://www.stagingurl.com/wp-content/uploads', 'https://www.liveurl.com/wp-content/uploads');

The key is to only update the links that include the wp-content/uploads bit. That leaves all other urls intact.

All images loaded in your posts/pages should now be loaded via the live url.

Not 100% sure if there are theme files that may need updating in another place but you can repeat the above code on any table/cell.

That being said, always take a backup before fiddling around with the database, even if it’s just a staging site. Saves you a lot of trouble.

Doing a full restore and changing only the media urls to the old site afterwards seems like a more promising approach.

Sounds like a cloudflare issue. If you’re using a VPN, or in some cases on “unusual” networks, it will do this verification step. Nothing the WP forums can really help you with I’m afraid but it won’t affect all of your visitors, if that’s what you’re worried about.

That being said, offloading this step to the visitor is a liberty on the side of cloudflare, and a deliberate one at that tbh.

This is a SlowDaddy? issue for sure. It was one of THE slowest hosters I’ve ever encountered and they didn’t get that nickname for no reason. Also, your execution time should be bumped up to at least 180 anyway.

Same here, been using them exclusively on hundreds of websites I’ve build, privately and in my agency. There was absolutely NO problem with their services, EVER.

It’s kind of a miracle how people unable to read the simplest instructions get to administer websites these days. Mind: blown.

Just today, given I am forced to use it to write this comment. It’s just terrible. I won’t change my mind on that anytime soon.

I hope that the maniacs who run this show realize they cannot force their mental-midget version of wp.com down the throats of the (mostly) dev users of wp.org. I just don’t see them have it (out here in the real world, not inside your little marketing bubble).

You cannot satisfy anybody attempting to do that. Trying to please everybody is the #1 recipe for failure.

Just split it, what can be so hard to see the reality behind your own brands?

wp.com = Users = Closed = Everybody lobotomy-level happy!
wp.org = Admins = Open = Finally, no-BS work can be done!

Stop selling people the illusion that you can just run your wp website with no IT knowledge at all. It’s insane to even consider suggesting that, especially on such a collosal scale.

Whatever you’re trying to do there, I’m stepping aside in preparation of the crash that’s about to happen. Unless a miracle happens, you will manage to eff it up, I have no doubt in my mind about that ??

No further questions.

Now that’s a flat out lie. The reviews here speak for themselves. You do NOT care at all what this community wants, that much has been made clear. At any rate, I’m wasting my time on this sinking ship. After 15 years of WP in our agency, we’re now scratching it form our offers. There are simply too many better alternatives by now. Tragic but as natural law dictates: Everything that has a beginning in time, has an end in time.

RIP WP.

My expectation that isn’t being met is: WordPress is not going to survive this with its community intact and without its community, it won’t be WordPress anymore so either way: You effed it.
