Oilwire

I found another similar issue reported by another user… have used this plugin for months – its a true life saver specially for the not so expert, not sure why it stopped working now.

saw your website TBN… neat and professional. I might ask you tips about news website later.

Hi Ivan, thanks for the notes.

I dont know much about the details, perhaps I can share some information, which can help.

I had Cloudflare basic plan active, and since DNS was moved there from GoDaddy, I managed to add * wildcard domain. The plugin setup detected that wildcard domain is active.

Next, I slect the 3 categories to become subdomains. There was something about setting the template theme – i tried to select the default theme, save and then unselect – as it was written.

Now the issue is all the pages is showing pageok.

So, I dont know if the setup is working fine and it is just to wait for DNS propagate.

Thinking it is not working (because cloudflare FAQ is saying), I also added the 3 sub-domains in the Cloudflare DNS settings using A record. All the pages is showing pageok.

I clear the cache from Cloudflare, and also from WordPress (Cache Enabler plugin) and check the posts again.

I also try to change the TTL from default to 2 mins. Nothing changed.

Any advise you have ? Is it working ok and should I just repeat the steps again and wait for 24-48 hours.

@ sagbee, thanks.
@ Phil, sagbee… i created a help request thread on the tagDIV forum (people who created the theme also).

Try 2:

Activate Comet Cache – Delete all Cache (WP Roids deactivated automatically)
Cloudflare – Purge all cache
WP Roids – Activate (Logout)

Home Page is also broken now. (checking on FF)

Tyring to unwind….
Deactivate Bullet Security, Deactivate iThemes Security

Deactivate WP Roids – FOUC is off. Page is displaying properly.

Chrome Console Message (i think the last one is a logo file which I deleted earlier and the theme is still trying to find it somewhere on load).

@ Phil, so first attempt,

WP Roids activated (Deactive Comet Cache, Deactivate WP Super Minify, Deleted Autoptimize)
Flush Cache, Logout of admin mode. Refresh Home Page TWICE (both on Chrome and FF).

The following lines at the end of the page (“homepage”) like yesterday – not there.
<!– Static HTML cache file generated….

Checked the Speed Tests (on homepage)
. GT Metrix reduced from 5.05s to 3.11s
. Pingdom increased from 3.3s to 9.2s
. Google Pagespeed Insight – seems to be the same – around 79/80 on Mobile and Desktop

Console Tab Messages (while running WP Roids)
JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1
oilwire000.jpg Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)
rec728.jpg Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

> Would that indicate the plugin did not get activated ?

I opened one post from the homepage: it is showing up as FOUC on both Chrome and FF, Home page still seems to be showing OK though. (I believe there might be previous cache from Comet Cache though I cleared the browser cache already)

> Site Broken ?

@ Phil,

I had checked the homepage only.

I installed BulletProof Security to see if I can get access to .htaccess. Will try to activate WP Roids again and check home + other page.

(somehow the entire theme got corrupted last time, and I had to re-install the entire theme – dont know which plugin is causing this).

Hi,

I have the same issue with a very similar setup. Using Newspaper 7 Theme with Visual Composer and Revolution Slider., GoDaddy Hosted. (www.oilwire.net). I am reverting the settings for now.

I received the same .htaccess rewrite failed.

<!– Static HTML cache file generated at Feb 11 2017 20:40:38 GMT by WP Roids plugin –>
<!– WP Roids cache file served by PHP script as .htaccess rewrite failed. Contact your host for explanation –>

Any advice ? I am not a pro with editing code and all, but if you can tell me steps, I might be able to fix it without breaking anything. It could be something with the theme itself – as we both seem to have different hosting accounts – so the Newspaper 7 theme seems the common factor.

Side Note: the resolution slider is tricky as it is JS heavy, and I am not able to find a better replacement.
