In reply to: [Post My CF7 Form] Fatal error on activating the appHi, I got the same error. Got the wordpress on the server upgraded to v7. Still getting the same error on trying to activate the plugin. I had the site working fine on development server, and have moved it to a more strict production server and gotten this error. I had to move databases and do find+replace operations to change the site path. Could there be some issue with that? Is there a way to wipe out any existing mapping in the database and start clean?EDIT: SORRY, just checked with a display-php-version plugin, my wp is still on older version. will try to correct and report back.- This reply was modified 7 years ago by Nikhil VJ.
Thank you so much for this! I want to generate not a dropdown of posts but a dropdown (well how about a checkbox menu?) of terms of a particular custom taxonomy, and I want to preserve the hierarchy. Any clues on how to do that? I’m exploring for the solution myself and will post here as soon as I find a solution. Thanks again!

In reply to: [Default Featured Image] Not skipping pages despite adding filterHi, sorry for not writing back. It’s alright, I just changed the template in my theme to not show featured images for single pages. My theme’s template does a lot of back-and-forth, calling parts from other folders etc.. i reckoned that might be causing the issue.

In reply to: [Geo Mashup] No SSL support?As a quick fix, it might be possible to search the plugin’s code for all instances of https:// , locate the OSM tile paths and change them to https:// .
With some PHP work, one might also find a way to put a function or filter in the theme’s functions.php (the place to store user’s custom enhancements) that will make the plugin load https:// instead of https:// . Even I’m new to PHP so can’t suggest a solid solution for now.

In reply to: [Hueman] Custom single post template for specific categoryGOTCHA! I re-defined the
hu_is_authorized_tmpl
function in my child theme’sfunctions.php
. My site went white-screen, but thanks to the error log created in my site’s root dir, I’ve now confirmed that the hueman theme is loadingfunctions/init-front.php
from the PARENT theme instead of the CHILD theme. They left this function “unplugged”, so I had to edit the parent theme’sfunctions/init-front.php
to make it “pluggable”, as defined in their documentation. My customizations are now working fine ?? Hope this helps others.Error log:
[30-Dec-2017 16:48:16 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare hu_is_authorized_tmpl() (previously declared in /..path../wp-content/themes/hueman-tropicsu/functions.php:11) in /..path../wp-content/themes/hueman/functions/init-front.php on line 56
pluggable function in

In reply to: [Hueman] Custom single post template for specific categoryHi, I’m having a similar issue, with a custom post type. I created a child theme, and over there proceeded to create custom single and archive templates for my resource type. Unfortunately hueman outsources the functions to the tmpl/ and parts/ folders. After some tracing I managed to find
hu_is_authorized_tmpl
function defined in thefunctions/init-front.php
file. I made a copy of it in my child theme and edited it, to include my custom post type’s templates that I created in thetmpl/
folder of my child theme. As per this documentation it’s supposed to look in the child theme for the replacement. Instead it seems to be ignoring my new init-front.php and using the old one only. I’m now going to try and define this function afresh in thefunctions.php
of my child theme as advised in the documentation.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Search & Filter] Using an AND operatorThanks.. I was looking for the same solution! Luckily it’s still keeping the selections across taxonomies as “AND” while making the selections within one taxonomy as “OR” upon putting the operators= parameters. An example case from my end : Look for articles under Biology or Chemistry, but they should all be of high school level. I have kept “biology”, “chemistry” in one taxonomy and “high school” in another taxonomy.

In reply to: [Recent Posts Widget Extended] Display each post’s category?That other one has nice features, but it does not work with custom post types and custom taxonomies in the free version which I was looking for.

In reply to: [Recent Posts Widget Extended] date=”false” doesn’t work in shortcodePlease update the instructions on the plugin’s main page about this! It seems all the true/false parameters are supposed to be 1/0 instead. I got this same thing happening for excerpt, readmore..
Question : is there any other free plugin that can do timed backup and move the backup to google drive / dropbox / other location?

In reply to: [UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Can’t restore my siteHi, this happened on my end too when the updraft tried backing up a huge uploads folder while another plugin was updating itself, and the server blew a fuse. I had to do this to get it back to working:
Access your site’s folder through File Manager on your web host’s cPanel or so. Navigate to the wp-content/plugins folder. Move the folder of updraft and any other worrisome plugins out from there to some other folder outside of the wordpress structure. Some guides even advise to just delete everything in the plugins folder, but you take the call. Moving things out is just as good. (But don’t just copy.. you have to get rid of them in the plugins folder)
Also, at the top level there may be an error log file, read that and there you might get to see where the site got stuck.
Moving the plugins out will help the regular wordpress site proceed without encountering the error. The dashboard will display error messages of “could not find plugin scripts” or so but at least the site will be working rather than stuck. Your website isn’t GONE yet, there is still hope! search online also for “wordpress white screen of death” or similar terms, there are solutions posted.

Hi, I have faced the same issue with Google Drive backup too. The problem seems to be with the way Updraft’s code is reading the file names : previously it used to check for website, but now it is only seeing datestamp and considering all website names as the same.
One workaround: Change the settings to retain 100 or so backups. And set this on all of your websites. This will give some breathing room for now.
I’ll suggest another workaround though I haven’t tried it yet: use IFTTT or similar automation services to copy or move new files coming in that folder elsewhere.
Hello, testifying from another user’s end, I’ve experienced the same problem. The critical issue here is that on running the latest backup, Updraft DELETED ALL OTHER WEBSITE’s BACKUPS that I manage, with no way to recover them. I was lucky none of them had gone down. I’ve experienced this problem in v1.13.12, though in another site running v1.13.11 also it is listing other websites’ backups (identifiable by missing “View log” buttons). So the problem may have crept in earlier.
Some code change has happened by which the plugin now only sees the date/time stamp, does not check the name of the site in the filename. Request to developers Please fix this ASAP or show how to revert the plugin to a previous version where this issue didn’t happen.
One workaround I’ve done is set the Updraft settings in all my sites to retain 100 previous backups. It’s important to go set this everywhere as even one site having lower setting will wipe out all the other backups. If you have 5 websites, then 100/5 = 20 of the latest backups (for the specific db, plugins, themes, uploads or other) will be retained. Note: If one of your site is taking backups daily and the other is doing monthly then the monthly one might suffer.
Another possible workaround that I have not explored : Use an automation service like IFTTT to monitor the folder for new files and copy or move them elsewhere.

In reply to: [UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin] Change storage locationHi I’m another user, I just did this on my end. Logged out of my main google account, signed in to another one, then went into Updraft settings, and pressed again the authorization link, even though it said I was already authorized. Now it connected to my other google account, I verified and then back on the updraft settings page somewhere it mentions the USERNAME of the google drive account it’s connected to. Seeing that you can ensure which account you’re connected to.
