Hi, just checking in, it’s a week and I’m still waiting for a response… Thanks.

Thank you for your quick response! I sent you the diagnostics.

Thank you for your quick response. I am using Version 4.6.1.

Note that if you view source, you can see the javascript functions on the page that are doing nothing (plus some other testing javascript).

FYI, I found the culprit. I had some CSS to this effect:

input[type=text] {
width: 250px;
float: left;
}

I removed the float:left, and now the captcha is displaying correctly.

FYI, I found that newly created events display fine, so I’m going to simply delete all recurring events and re-enter them into the system. Thanks for your help in helping me figure that out.

And the “Week starts on” settings don’t seem to affect this.

@sonOfhobs, thanks for your responses.

I’m using the most recent upgrade of the free version – 5.6.1. The free version clearly includes recurring events, see: https://wp-events-plugin.com/features/

Just now, I tried your suggestion of switching to the default theme, and it did not help the problem to go away. I’m hesitant to start disabling plugins bec I don’t have a test copy of the site, and on the live site, I’m afraid that I’ll loose some plugin settings, which will just create other problems on top of this one…

Note that we have a few diff. recurring events running on various days of the week, and they *all* show up one day early. Only the non-recurring events are showing up on the correct date.

I just noticed that I have the *exact* same problem – recurring events, and only recurring events, show up one day early on my Events Calendar.

Odd that we both noticed this the same day. Was there a recent update/fix that caused this?

Perhaps related – is that on the add/edit recurring events page, where you set the schedule for the event, it lists the days of the week Monday -> Sunday. ie:

This event repeats Weekly every 1 week on
Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun

Should the days of the week be Sunday -> Saturday?? Is this cuasing trouble? Note that my WordPress general settings page is already set to start the week on Sunday, not on Monday.

Thanks,
NS

And btw, I figured out that the unwanted “#edit-slug-box {display: none;}” CSS was generated by the Adv. Custom Fields plugin, and I easily changed that setting to restore the permalink option.

It suddenly hit me what the problem is! The slug that I’m using for this CPT is already used as the slug of a custom taxonomy! I quickly changed the slug to something else, and suddenly all permalinks are working. I can’t believe that I spent *hours* working on debugging this, when the problem was so obvious… :-/

Thanks again for your help!

Sorry about the delay here. I tried using the Get Code and pasting it into my functions.php, but it didn’t help. I researched this on google and bit and tried a few other things, but didn’t get anywhere.

Maybe this add’l info will shed some light on my issue:

1. You mentioned above “or slug clashing with something else”. So the truth is that this originally was my only CPT. Then, I created a second CPT with the same “slug”, not realizing that this would mess up the permalinks for the first CPT. So I renamed the slug for the first CPT, but since then the permalinks don’t work for that CPT. Does that help you understand how to fix the problem?

2. Also, only this CPT has the permalink slug section hidden on the add/edit post page. My other CPT, and regular posts/pages all have the permalink slug section displaying, and permalinks working. If I use my Developer Tools browser add-on, I can see that there is a CSS class embedded on the edit page for only this CPT:
#edit-slug-box {display: none;}
I have no idea where that CSS is being generated from! If I comment it out (via Developer’s Tools), the slug reappears. But no matter what I change the permalink to, when I resave the page and try to visit the page, I get a 404 error.

I will be thrilled if you can help me fix this!

Thanks for your help,

NS

Thanks for your quick response! (Very impressive!)

The post type slug is “parshaclass”, and the custom rewrite slug is “parsha”. I tried a few different custom rewrite slugs, and none worked. FYI, here are the settings for that custom post type:

name: parshaclass
label: Parsha Classes
singular_label: Parsha Class
description:
public: true
show_ui: true
has_archive: true
has_archive_string:
exclude_from_search: false
capability_type: post
hierarchical: false
rewrite: true
rewrite_slug: parsha
rewrite_withfront: false
query_var: true
menu_position: 21
show_in_menu: true
show_in_menu_string:
menu_icon:
custom_supports:

Very interesting.

Yes, I am using version 4.6.2. I see that there is an available update to 4.6.6, I’ll see if that helps.

And I never noticed before the Rewrite Rules on the iTSec Dashboard page. No, most of those rules are not in my .htaccess. I’d copy them in, but I want to first see if upgrading to 4.6.6 will help resolve the issue.

Thanks a lot for your help. I’ll post here what happens.

Thanks for your response.

I see lots of code in the .htaccess from iThemes security — many repeating blocks of code to block specific IP addresses. That’s it. It surprises me, because I set many many more ITSec options besides for blocking IPs.

The .htacess folder is the the root folder of my WP install.

And I don’t have nginx.conf files bec this in an Apache server, not a Nginx server.

I am new to BackWPup and I also have this problem. I’m running a backup for the first time, and when the file backup is 81% complete, it says “Restart will be executed now” and then hangs. If I abort and retry, I get the same results.

My destinations are Amazon S3 and a local folder:

I went to settings -> network to put in a username/pw, but I’m not sure what username/pw is needed here. The wp-admin login doesn’t help. My WordPress site is not htaccess protected. Do you need the server login with root access to restart apache??? I don’t know why a backup plugin would need such a thing!?

In any case – what is being restarted here? and why??

Did you ever find a solution for this? I have this exact problem and can’t find a solution for it. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
