I’m no longer publicly supporting the plugin, it’s fulfilling its need for me. But another developer is more then welcome to fork it and continue work on it if they would like. I might release an update in the future, but for now, it’s doing what it’s supposed to.

It loads as a CSS file so that it won’t delay your perceived page load time when it’s scheduled time to run comes around.

I believe this was answered already in one of the threads you linked to.

Yeah, it’s a good idea. It would need to be relative to the root defined on the configuration page for the plugin, not necessarily the root of WP.

I’ll need to give it some thought to see how switching from a absolute to a relative path could have an impact.

Thanks for the suggestion.

It’s as small as it can be at the moment, it’s essentially just:

filename => timestamp [or] hash

I do have plans/hopes to chunk it up into multiple entries at some point, but regardless, all that data is needed in order for it to perform its job so it will be no less data overall even after I do this.

It sounds to me like you have some other issue going on with your WordPress installation and/or database since you mention this is happening with other plugins as well. WordPress File Monitor only attempts to create one wpfm_listing in the database and it uses the standard add/get/update option functions in WordPress to maintain it. So it sounds like there’s an issue here with WordPress or the database causing WordPress to have issues reading from it.

Kahil — The latest version of Twitter Tools was released specifically for the Oauth change that Twitter.com put in place. If it’s still not working for you after following the other possible fixes mentioned in this thread (such as deleting the app and recreating it making sure read/write access is enabled, etc), then I suggest you contact Twitter. Their API doesn’t really return very useful error messages with this so it’s been difficult tracking things down. I will say though that it is working for MANY other users, so running around the forums screaming it isn’t working at all and that the dev needs to update it is false and neither accomplishing much nor helps anyone.

Alkuk — Not related to the original topic and not a problem with the plugin.

404 = File not found. You found it in wpfm_listing because the file did exist but no longer does. The plugin keeps a listing of files on your install for comparison purposes. Sounds like you, someone, or something deleted the file. Hope this helps.

Devstorm — Thanks for tracking this down and figuring out the problem. I’ll see what I can do.

robertj777 — Don’t go jumping to conclusions. I haven’t dropped support of the plugin. I haven’t had a chance to test it on WordPress 3+.

2.9.2 should be working as I did test it on that one. If I get a chance I’ll take a look at your use case houseofstrauss

Don’t go jumping to conclusions. I haven’t dropped support of the plugin. I haven’t had a chance to test it on WordPress 3+.

Just because a plugin hasn’t seen an update in 6+ months doesn’t mean it is no longer supported. It could just mean that it’s not broken or the developer hasn’t had any features to add to it.

It does sound like some folks are reporting problems here and there in 3.0 so when I have time I’ll test it and if needed, release an update for it.

I agree and have noticed it as well. I’ll likely set it more so that if you’re on the dashboard then that’s where you’ll stay. If you dismiss the warning from the settings page then you’ll stay there.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Sorry for the late response, but if you’re still paying attention, you can try the latest version that should be available in a few moments (v2.3.3). It should take care of this.

I did find an instance where the plugin was causing a PHP error if you tried to hit its scanning URL without some variables loaded in the URL. This has been fixed in the version that should be available for download any moment now.

You’ll need to provide more information then that to be helpful ??

Anything the plugin can see can be excluded. It’s probably just an issue of needing to get the path to your site map files correct so that it stops scanning them. You might want to try some different paths to see what works and what doesn’t.

This plugin creates no links to your theme folder. Sorry, but I believe you might be confusing it with your theme or another plugin.

Also of note, almost every theme is going to create a link into your themes folder, otherwise it can’t serve the stylesheet or images included with the theme. Unless you’re running a black text on white background only website ??

The plugin does add a CSS sheet (which is actually a php file) in its directory but that is necessary to complete the security scan.

Side note: in the future if you believe you have found a security vulnerability for a piece of software you should contact the developer privately and give them adequate time to respond and work on a fix before posting it publicly. The plugin contains links to my website and there is a easily findable link to my contact form. So you should have been able to easily contact me. ??
