In reply to: Is there a plugin that measures resource use on a per plugin basis?Unfortunately, Query Monitor doesn’t really offer insight into memory usage, not in the conventional (X Plugin is using X amount) method anyway.

In reply to: Upgraded Ubuntu + PHP, can’t access WP due to MySQLi Extension errorFixed.
My issue in particular was that I had upgraded Ubuntu in place instead of migrating to a new droplet (I use DigitalOcean). As a result, even though PHP was upgraded to 8.2, I was still using PHP 7.2 and that was causing the MySQLi extension conflict. Such a simple mistake but easy to overlook.
For Ubuntu users, just enabling PHP 8.2 with
sudo a2enmod php8.2
(or whatever PHP version you are using, preferably above 7) should fix it.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Restoring backup under new domainThis script, while it definitely updated paths, doesn’t appear to be helping.
Let me add some clarification.
- Current domain is
mydomain.com
. - I have this backup WP installation uploaded to
mydomain.com/wp-old
. - I’ve changed all instances of
olddomain.com
tomydomain.com/wp-old
.
When attempting to navigate to
mydomain.com/old-wp/wp-admin
, I get a 404. Link shown in the URL bar is as follows:https://mydomain.com/wp-old/wp-admin/mydomain.com/wp-old/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.com%2Fwp-old%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
Bit confusing!

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Lousy SupportAfter successfully resolving my issues with WooCommerce on my own, I’ve encountered yet another ludicrous design flaw: the whole product is freemium. Several features (such as coupons, product add-ons, etc) are free with ZenCart, yet with WooCommerce, they expect you to pay upwards of $30 for one extension.
Again, the WooCommerce product itself might have potential, but the author(s) and the overall business approach is a complete joke.

In reply to: Override CSS Class on specific pageHa! Should have noticed the date as well. My apologies. Thank you for the updated link. Surprised that didn’t pop up in my Google search. Then again, I probably wasn’t using the best search parameters.
That said, thank you both (immensely) for the prompt and useful responses. Issue solved, and will mark this topic as such.

In reply to: Override CSS Class on specific pageThank you both for the responses.
For your example, something like this is what you’d need to do.
When you mentioned using page id’s in your example, I remembered seeing something about applying a body class to specific pages, HERE. It’s essentially the same thing you offered, catacaustic, just much “cleaner”.
Problem is, I haven’t a clue where to insert the bit of code the author is sharing (perhaps inside the header in header.php?). His original source, which likely contained a more in-depth tutorial, is no longer available.

In reply to: Pop-ups "out of focus"Sorry to bump my own post yet again, but I believe I’ve found a fix.
/wp-includes/js/thickbox/thickbox.css
I edited the z-index for #TB_overlay from 100050 to 1000. Seems to have fixed the problem. Not sure of any other effects it may have.
Edited version:
#TB_overlay { background: #000; opacity: 0.7; filter: alpha(opacity=70); position: fixed; top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; z-index: 1000; /* Above DFW. */ }

In reply to: Pop-ups "out of focus"I can confirm that it is theme related. Perhaps it’s a compatibility issue with one of the plugins as the theme has worked just fine for the last couple of weeks. Oddly enough, this isn’t the first time something with this theme has randomly stopped working.
I’ll attempt to submit a ticket via the author’s zendesk site, but it’s not likely I’ll get a response for the reasons I mentioned above.
Are there any potential workarounds to fixing this? I’m assuming it’s CSS related of course.

In reply to: Pop-ups "out of focus"I’ll definitely try the plugins. The skin is Porto, which I purchased off of ThemeForest about two months ago. I’ve had multiple tickets go unanswered, while others have waited for months. It’s ridiculous. The author has essentially abandoned support for the theme for whatever reason (allegedly over a dispute with Envato, owners of ThemeForest). The author even deleted his support forums. But I digress.
Unfortunately I have too much time (and $45) invested into the theme already to switch, and I’m wary that the theme is the problem somehow (even though it worked fine before). Nevertheless, I’ll post an update after checking these plugins. Thanks!

In reply to: Pop-ups "out of focus"As I’m unable to edit my post, I wanted to add that the only plugin I’ve installed in the last 24 hours is WP Email Template. Uninstalling it or deactivating it has no effect.
When viewing the ACP via Inspect Element in Chrome, it appears to be an issue with TB_Overlay or TB_Window. When deleting the TB_Overlay snippet via Inspect Element, I’m able to go about my business.
The following is the CSS for #TB_Overlay:
#TB_overlay { background: #000; opacity: 0.7; filter: alpha(opacity=70); position: fixed; top: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; z-index: 100050; }
I’m assuming it’s an issue with the Z index. I’m just not sure if it should be that high, or what would be setting it. If I change the value to 100, it looks normal (overlay in the background, pop-up unaffected). I’ve tried overriding the z-index for TB_Overlay in style.css, but that hasn’t had any effect.

In reply to: Truncating removes line breaksThanks for the prompt response!
Unfortunately, it doesn’t support such a function as it uses a custom Read More button.
Here’s a screenshot of the current design:

In reply to: Suggestions for Donation WidgetOkay, so evidently this thread was fixed and my other one was closed.
For the record – I wasn’t “spamming” as what was alleged in the duplicate thread. This thread bugged out when using the List tag, and the entire page went haywire. I don’t appreciate being accused of spamming, when it was really a simple typo. I’d like to believe it was simple miscommunication but judging by previous experience here, that seems unlikely.
I can’t imagine that the moderation team here could make a user feel any less welcome. I do believe I’ll reconsider posting here in the future – I should have taken the advice of the consumer feedback on WP support.

In reply to: Deleting Uploaded HeadersThanks for the tips – I’d never have thought you delete them from the Media Library. In fact, when I did delete those images from the library, it was the first time I bothered to access it.
I’m still learning the various features of WP. ??
Thanks for the tips on the header, but for now I’ve just uploaded a banner with a beveled edge (for the “fanciness” of it), until I can figure out how to add a header that has some transparency in the background,

In reply to: Alternatives for SupportVirtually all mods have their own support thread, and even if you’re unable to obtain support via that thread, opening a new thread requesting support doesn’t earn you “hire someone” or “go elsewhere” douchebaggery.
SMF provides an area for support for just about everything involving SMF, including mods, which are no different than themes here on WordPress. I’ve yet to see a single post on SMF with the sort of ignorant responses I’ve seen here.
And this isn’t a complaint, it’s an observation. Naivety would be classified by posting insinuations without bothering to read the OP.
