If you want something done (at all) do it yourself.

Searched the WordPress DB with MySQL workbench, found the yoast SEO field names I was looking for, they are:

_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image (facebook)
_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image (twitter)

Was able to get them in my custom RSS feed template with this code:

$fbtest = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image', true);
 $twtest = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image', true);

I hope this helps others!

We backed up, deactivated and uninstalled the plugin and installed the version you sent. The error message no longer shows up and everything seems to work correctly.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,

Thank you for the fast response. We usually us either Chrome 72.0.3626.121 or above or Firefox 65.0.2. (Basically, the latest stable versions.)

Thanks again.

In addition, how do I get the text from the description field to show up in the WPML String Translation list of strings? I know I need either _e() or _() functions around the above get_the_author_meta(‘description’) and that I need to scan the theme and the plugin for the strings after I update the user’s description. Is that correct? Or am I missing something?

So, we rolled back and we tried updating the plugins first. No dice. It seems like the core update had nothing to do with our plugin update issues. May be something related to multisite setup? Thoughts?

Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, this has been resolved. Thank you for your assistance with this issue!

I had to try your fix twice before it worked properly.

Thanks for the offer, if we were interested in your freelance services, where could I find more information on that?

Thanks again.

Is there anything else I need to do before updating the tables? Like deactivating the plugin or logging out of WordPress?

What about after? Do I need to have them restart the server or anything?

You mentioned the update of the plugin being automatic? It won’t give the option to update it by clicking an “update now” link on the plugins screen?

I just want to make sure we do this correctly. Thanks.

Ok, we found it. I do not have access to the WordPress DB and my DB guy is apparently somewhat distracted today.

The wpp_ver is 4.0.13

We need to update this (in the table) to a previous version, such as 4.0.0 ?

Then what happens? Will the plugin “detect” that it is out of date and ask to be updated?

Please let me know. Thanks.

Ok, we just tried that query and wp_2_options does not exist. Thoughts?

Ok, so I checked the DB and found that the wp_options table for the multisite install does not have the wpp_ver column. Am I looking at the correct table? I want to confirm. Also, I read that ticket you linked to, it seems to say that the fix would be to network deactivate the plugin and then reactivate it? Or will I need to deactivate it, then uninstall it, reinstall it and reactivate it?

Please let me know exactly what steps you recommend for my situation. Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for the fast response. No caching plugin that I know of. Both the US (non-multilingual) and the Canada (multilingual site) are using the same plugins. The only different is that the Canada site has the WPML plugin enabled and is using the String Translation plugin as well. WPP plugin is working on the US site. (Of course that site is a bit “older” then the Canada one, but Canada has been up for a few months at this point.)

Here is the current list of plugins on the Canada section of the multisite:

Admin Post Navigation 2.1,
Child Theme Configurator 2.2.9,
Co-Authors Plus 3.3.0,
Custom About Author 1.6,
FV Top Level Categories 1.8.2,
Require Post Category 1.1, S
Share Buttons by AddThis 6.1.5,
User Activation Keys 4.6,
User Role Editor 4.40.3,
WordPress Popular Posts 4.0.13,
WP All Export 1.2.0,
WP Extended Search 1.1.2,
WP Mail SMTP 1.2.5,
WPML All Import 2.0.5,
WPML Multilingual CMS 3.9.3,
WPML String Translation 2.7.3,
Yoast SEO 7.3

Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi Cristian,

Thank you for the fast response. Any idea if it will also work with the Co-Authors Plus plugin?

Thanks again.

We just made a change to the Apache config which now enables it to read the htaccess file. It seems to have resolved the problem. Does that make any sense?

Thanks for the fast response!

I have the same question. Also, can the time of day be changed? That is when is the content deleted? After 15 days exactly of the date that the spam was posted? at midnight on the 15th day, etc.??? Please let us know. Thanks.

Hi,

I still haven’t figured out what the fix for this is. Please advise.

Thank you.
