WordPress needs a theme to work, do not delete all of them. Try getting it to work with one of the default themes first (i.e. Twenty Twenty) and then move towards a custom (child) theme.

In this case, I would probably start from scratch and follow a good tutorial on how to set up a basic WP site. Perhaps this will be of some use:

Also, it appears your server is still running php5, any chance you can update that to version 7? It’s just so much quicker/more secure and more future proof right now.

Ah you know, where it’s DUE ??

@optimizingmatters Since it’s hard to omit that string with your plugin, do you think you’d be able to contact Mr. Starr at perishablepress directly and enquire about a more permanent solution? I hear he’s a very nice guy. The problem is any solution we come up with may get flattened in the next update so working together is inevitable to ensure future compatibility. I wouldn’t like to sit in the middle of this though as it’s bound to disrupt communication.

Hold on, there may be a fix for this soon. We’re working on it.

This plugin’s thumbnail cache feature conflicts with the timThumb rule from the 6G and 7G htaccess firewalls by Perishable Press. Commenting that line out will resolve that 403 error, or at least it did in one of our cases. Worth a try if you happen to use that firewall, which by all means you should ??

I’m talking about Elementor and Elementor Pro. Both of these need to trigger a full cache purge at all times. I can’t follow your reasoning for not caching the page upon a code update. That’s asking for trouble and I can see the results of that in my daily work.

Just wanted to add I’m very much looking forward to that feature being implemented as well.

You’re welcome and yes, it’s not fun at all. Your files should remain untouched during an upgrade though. Worst case you’re gonna have to push your custom files back to the server using (s)ftp. Takes but a second.

Some people have reported they needed to also change the url parameters in the original matomo.js and matomo.php files but I haven’t encountered that myself. May depend on configuration so just something worth mentioning.

It is not possible using only this plugin but it can be done. This requires a bit of custom coding though because it’s not just the file names that are being blocked but also some of their url parameters.

Here are the steps:

Step 1
On your matomo server, create a copy of matomo.js and matomo.php and call them m.js and m.php or whatever you prefer.

Step 2
In the m.js file, find and replace the following strings:

“action_name” = “the_action_name” (since “action_name=” is on a blocklist)
“idsite” = “siteid” (since “idsite=” is on a blocklist)

Step 3
In the m.php file, add the following, right after the opening comment:

if(isset($_GET['the_action_name'])) { $_GET['action_name'] = $_GET['the_action_name']; }

if(isset($_GET['siteid'])) { $_GET['idsite'] = $_GET['siteid']; }

Step 4
In the WP Matomo plugin, switch to manual editing the tracking code and replace matomo.js and matomo.php with your new file names respectively.

Technical Note: All of this will result in the Matomo file integrity check to fail but it works well for us. We feel that given we use a local-only and GDPR compliant solution, adblockers should not stip the tracking script out by default so we use this technique. This comes with no warranty whatsoever though.

Legal Note: In order to remain GDPR compliant it is highly recommended to honour the DNT header and use your privacy policy to let visitors know about this opt-out method. Also make sure to at least partially anonymise the IP addresses.

I believe the culprit was Ultimate Addons for Elementor. Said plugin seems to have many problems lately. I’ve removed it and everything is back to normal again.

Marking as resolved.

Ich bin mir nicht ganz sicher aber das k?nnte evtl. auch ein Elementor Pro Feature sein auf das ich mich da beziehe. Tut mir leid wenn dem so ist. Ich empfehle das Upgrade jedoch sehr, man bekommt deutlich mehr M?glichkeiten seine Inhalte zu “verschachteln” und viel mehr Einstellungen und Widgets.

Das hier ist die umfassendste deutschsprachige Elementor Anleitung die ich finden konnte, da werden auch die Templates erkl?rt:

Von Elementor selbst gibt es soweit ich wei? keine deutschsprachige Dokumentation.

Hi there,

sorry for the sparse information. It just keeps loading forever. When the console is open it loads fine though, which is a bit odd?

Only two warnings in the console:

This page uses the non standard property “zoom”. Consider using calc() in the relevant property values, or using “transform” along with “transform-origin: 0 0”. domain.com

This site appears to use a scroll-linked positioning effect. This may not work well with asynchronous panning; see https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Performance/ScrollLinkedEffects for further details and to join the discussion on related tools and features!

Hallo,

sowohl in den Titel als auch in den Content Bereich der Widgets Accordion, Tabs, etc. k?nnen einzelne Template Shortcodes eingegeben werden anstatt nur Text. Leider wird das nirgendwo erkl?rt, es gibt einem sehr viele Freiheiten im Design.

Einfach unter Templates im Dashboard ein neues “Section” Template erstellen und dessen Shortcode aus der übersicht kopieren.

Ich hoffe das hilft!

ENG:

I explained that you can use template shortcode in widget titles and content areas respectively to create advanced content layouts / variations.

Please do NOT post a link to infected websites on this forum. I suggest you consult a WP Security expert such as WordFence and have the malware removed properly.

CSS could fix that, although I believe there should be a theme setting for content padding or something like that. Maybe have a look around for that first.

Anyhow, this CSS will do the trick. Just drop it in additional CSS in the Customizer.

@media only screen and (min-width: 1024px) {
.site-inner {
margin-top: 120px!important;
}
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
.site-inner {
margin-top: 40px!important;
}
}
