Just confirming that everything is good with sign-up sheets. The volunteer sheet cron has been running fine since the hosting provider removed their cron and I am running a real cron to trigger the WP cron.

The main issue was that the hosting provider was running a script to trigger cron, but something was not configured properly. After they turned that off I am running my own cron that runs ‘/usr/bin/wp cron event run –due-now’. Your plugin is showing updated times on the ‘Last Reminder Check’.

After I started investigating, only three plugins were getting triggered! I will keep you informed, but it appears that it was a problem with the hosting service trigger script.

Your plugin is working fine when triggered with a real cron that runs ‘/usr/bin/wp cron event run –due-now’ and I am logging the output and error (none so far) to confirm which hooks are executed.

Thanks again for the quick detailed reply and suggestions for troubleshooting.

I plan to return in a week to mark this as resolved. I want to run my cron for a while before assuming everything is fixed.

thanks for the quick thorough reply.

I had previously deactivated and reactivated the sign-ups plug in. I forgot to mention that.

I have been assuming that the ‘Last reminder check’ time should update even if no emails are sent. That is not changing when the cron runs.

I had time to try only a few things tonight. I turned on debugging and when looking at debug.log, I do not get errors when I run the pta_sus_cron_job from the web interface of the cron queue, but it does not result in reminders or an update of the last reminder check. However, when I clicked the button on the cron functions page, the reminders were sent and there were also no errors logged.

I am a volunteer, so it may take me a couple of weeks to look into this farther. I will install the Query Monitor so that I can see more what is happening from the two different methods of triggering, and I can also look in the options table as you suggest. I will also turn off the external cron call to see if that is the cause.

I did uninstall the action scheduler. The core of the scheduler is used by ‘WP Mail SMTP’ without the plugin, but since I had the dangling ‘migrate’ error, I installed that to fix it. There troubleshooting suggest to remove after the issue is fixed, and I did do that now, especially since your plugin is not using it.

I am also have an issue related to the bulk editor. Our ISP Dreamhost does not generate thumbnails when I upload pdfs. It has been several years since I asked for Dreamhost support from them, but they are blocking some aspect of imagemagick, as I recall, for security reasons. So we have been using the bulk editor to generate the thumbnails which has been working well.

However, this week after updating to WP 6.5.5 and MLA 3.17, after selecting the pdf items in the list view and then bulk selecting ‘thumbnail’, the thumbnail is properly generated, but we no longer see the pop-up window with the options to generate the thumbnail.

Thank you very much.

I no longer have the PTA Member Directory Plugin installed, but the role remains in my database. I have the ‘Member Directory and Contact Form’ ver 1.7.0. From what I am understanding, this ‘PTA Manager’ role is deprecated and somehow hanging in my databases and I should probably switch those users with that role to the ‘Sign-up Sheet Manager’ role? I do have some users assigned as ‘Sign-up Sheet Manager’, but I have a user who has not logged in for a while configured as ‘PTA Manager’. It sounds like the ‘Sign-up Sheet Manager’ replaced the ‘PTA Manager’? Also, how do I purge the deprecated role from my tables? I am comfortable to use phpAdmin to run a MySQL command.

Also, extra information — I do have a PTA shortcodes plugin that I missed when providing my plugin list if that matters in the answer.

Same issue on Dreamhost Dreampress running WordPress 5.5.3 after I moved from a legacy hosting to the new hosting plan, all plugins disabled. Thumbnails are generated for jpg uploads but not pdf uploads.

I do have the plugin Media Library Assistant that enables me (after reactivating) to regenerate from the media list from the app page using the ‘bulk actions’ options and the default WP thumbnail generation works from that menu. This requires an extra step but is our current work-around.

It is interesting that it was working on the legacy (2015 era) hosting plan but seemed to break when moving to the current hosting plan. The installation on the legacy site was 5.5.x. This implies that there may be some issue related to underlying software dependencies.

Yes, I am running wp 5.0.4 and after the update to 3.1.22 (which reverted code to version 3.1.20) it seems to be working fine in wp 5.0.4 for my installation.

simply access the options and look for the ‘settings’ tab.

In the field for “Do not save…” add a comma and without spaces g-recaptcha-response. My entry looks like:

/.*wpcf7.*/,_wpnonce,g-recaptcha-response

I note that you asked about g-captcha-response, but my system was logging g-recaptcha-response. Be sure you spell the field correctly.

My system no longer logs that field.

The threshold value is in module>recaptcha.php, line 292.

However, when I look at the analytics for my captcha on google, most of the spam has a score of 0.7 and 0.9. So clearly the captcha is not as intelligent as it should be.

Whoops, I am running MLA 2.70 (20180207). I followed the link for 20180126, but it gave me the 20180207 version.

On my test site, there is one difference. (Not sure that all the MLA settings are identical) – probably not.) However, I did set debug to 0xF. I have no ghostscript warnings on Settings/Media Library Assistant/Shortcodes tab for this site or the production site.

The thumbnail IS GENERATED when MLA is not activated. When MLA is activated, the thumbnail is NOT generated on upload. When I follow the steps to generate the WP thumbnail from the MLA listing I get an error
ERROR: Item 3901, thumbnail generation failed – No editor could be selected.
This seems odd since the thumbnail works on this site when MLA is deactivated.

Thank you. I am able to generate the thumbnails, but they are not automatically generated. Here is some more information.

Also, I tried turning on logging debugging, but nothing was logged,
define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );

On a test site, I turned off all plugins except for MLA. I set the theme to twenty seventeen. I turned OFF all settings under
Media/Edit Media Enhancements
Media/Add New Enhancements
Meida/Media Grid Enhancements
I tried uploading via the multifile interface and also via the browser uploader with the same results. When the MLA plugin was activated, no thumbnail is generated with either upload method. When MLA is deactivated, the thumbnail is generated.
My test site is running
php 7.0.22-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
Not sure if my settings file would be helpful, but I see it now.

I realized you were asking if I uploaded several images at one time.

When MLA is activated, no thumbnails are generated for four pdf files
When MLA is deactivated, all thumbnails are generated for the same pdf files.
