I found this on another site:

“My site will not connect to my database after upgrading to PHP 7”

Previous versions of PHP offered three PHP APIs for accessing a MySQL database. They were:

mysql
mysqli
PDO_MySQL
PHP 7 has removed support for the mysql extension and affects the following:

Any queries using a mysql_connect function will not function.
PHP 7 only allows connections to a MySQL database using mysqli or PDO_MySQL.

All scripts must be updated in order to continue functioning.

Thanks for the suggestion. Is that “editing the js file” something that will get overwritten with the next Contact Form 7 update?

Hi, wondering if anyone has suggestions. With akismet, the honeypot and recaptcha v3 we’re down to only a couple spam a day.

I’d LOVE to be able to get rid of those as well. The ONLY common thing in all of them is a hyperlink.

In asp.net I’d just prohibit / in the comments.

I think it would be a great feature to add anyway. Ability to block certain symbols – then we could block things like these, which can be malicious: <>/;

Example pic:
screen cap

wouldn’t you just “control / click” multiple countries in the dropdown?

The feed has content, lovely photos and comments. None of which were pulled. NOT empty.

Hi thanks for the speedy reply!

I am indeed running 5.3.something.

I’ve asked my host to get upgraded!

appreciate your quick reply.

Hi,
LOVE Events Made Easy!.

Installed this plugin, and clicked Activate – got error:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/mydirectory/public_html/mywebsitename.ca/wp-content/plugins/eme-sync-facebook-events/eme-sync-facebook-events.php on line 137

Thanks for the info. That makes sense.

With issues like a malware site tricking people into pulling down an image, I was wondering if this might be an issue.

I guess, that if the “wordpress service” that pulls down the image pulled down malware it might be serving it up, but I would suppose the “service” hopefully has antivirus running.

Thanks again for the clarification!

Thanks for the suggestion.

I went back to his website just now and made the request again – on his forum.

Hopefully I get a response.

thanks again for taking the time to reply ??

Thanks you guys – That did the trick!

We just got this on our site as well:

“After i initially commented I clicked the ?Notify me personally whenever new remarks tend to be additional? checkbox and today each time a remark is actually additional I get 4 e-mail with the same comment. Is there any method for you to remove me from that support? Thanks”

We have the “subscribe to comments” plugin but it’s not turned on.

VERY similar text in the reply. Something very strange.

Maybe someone that just wants comments (and their website link) posted?

SOLVED – turns out there was a misconfiguration in the ftp setup. Working fine now – thanks for the help.

Thanks for the suggestions. If the admin section doesn’t work, what is a good way to disable plugins? just delete them?

Thanks for the reply. I actually found some references in the forums to the memory, and also version of php.

When I contacted our host, they said that they have php4 and php4. Defaulting to version 4. So, I had to add:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

to the htaccess, forcing it to use version 5, and it’s now working!

Thanks for your kind assistance
