Hi

I always welcome any form of feedback.

Firstly, the database error mentioned has been fixed in my current build and is related to API logging. Hoping to get that out next week.

Last week I was working on team related features. We need to import a team and start using that data to assign team status to WP users.

Your overall requirement is related to capabilities and is very security orientated because control of your Twitch account is a serious thing. There is code and procedures within the plugin to support what you want i.e. multiple users doing things that result in use of the Twitch API using the main channel.

I have been hesitant to allow this to happen straight out of the box so to speak pending better logging to trace who did what and a couple of other things.

However it is something I actively think about while working on the plugin and it wouldn’t take much to make more tools available to other admin.

Keep mind we can also create a custom role for channel mods and that role could have less capabilities than admin but enough to do clever things.

A role scope manager plugin is recommended when working with a large team but TwitchPress could do with a little work to bring all that together for you.

Hope that makes sense and I will be considering your feedback in upcoming development to actually determine what could be done soon.

Thanks. The plugin is ready to use any data offered by the Twitch API and display it on your WordPress site.

There is a shortcode that lists channels and that includes current viewer total and total historical views in the display. I don’t expect it to suit everyone’s needs so I’m always ready to make changes to the plugin and explain how to configure a shortcode so that it outputs the content you need.

If you describe exactly what you need it will be added to the projects GitHub Issues.

PS. I didn’t see any notification for your post here so I am sorry about the slow reply, I’ll check my settings to avoid that in future. You can get support in Discord also, which I use hourly.

Hello again and thank you for your encouragement.

Have you tried operating TwitchPress with no other plugins activated and then attempt to delete it. Also, consider using a default WP theme to rule out your theme.

The problem you are having is very strange. I’ve never seen a bug that results in a dump of content like this. However, someone else reported that if all the plugin removal options are set to true/yes they get an error when removing the plugin.

They didn’t confirm the error…yet! I’m waiting to see if it’s a similar issue and hopefully, the combined information will lead me to a fix!

I installed Loginizer when considering a possible conflict.

I managed to delete TwitchPress when clicking Delete without issues.

This is somehow related to script loading and I some flash related stuff in there. Is it possible you also have some sort of media plugin or a theme that uses flash?

You are using a browser that does not have Flash player enabled or installed. Please turn on your Flash player plugin or download the latest version from

That is within the dump which is not a proper error by any WP standard. It’s as if a plugin is interfering with the deletion process. It could be a conflict caused by TwitchPress but without knowing all the plugins and theme installed there isn’t much more testing I can do.

Please delete the plugin using FTP like FileZilla or your hosting file management feature. I wish I had a better answer and thank you for trying my plugin.

Hello

I’ve never seen this specific issue before.

The output seems to be related to Loginizer so something unusual happening there. I’ll do some removal tests now.

Hey gOOVer

The plugin is now 2 years old and I just happened to be typing an update yesterday which I’ve published right now.

The statement you have made is fair. The issue you have experienced has been experienced by others also and is a high priority. But there are streamers who have been using the plugin for months and still are. I can prove that by sending everyone to a live site but I’d need the owner’s permission first.

Big Streamer
Over the last couple of days I’ve been working with one who has 200k followers on Twitch and after a clean installation of WordPress they have it working fine…aside from some minor issues that I’m already working on.

Still Problems
However, I’ve still downgraded the viable status of this project with a post that I published today out of caution. My post basically says that there has not been enough funding over 2 years to establish such a complex project and keep up with the big changes happening at Twitch.tv and that this will be the case for another couple of months.

We are at a critical stage and I’m concerned but I’m still aiming to get everything done in time. You can read the full post here on the TwitchPress blog!

Hundreds of hours have gone into getting the project here and about 100 hours have been paid ones. I’m not looking for a wage or even 50% of my time to be paid but it does mean limited hours and all the delays that come with lack of progress.

Hello again and thank you for the support.

The banner is probably being re-created per refresh/request.

Have you tried completing the Setup Wizard again?

That can be found in the Help tab and it should set the twitchpress_main_channels_id option. Having a quick look at my code now to see if anything stands out.

That is what this project is missing actually some fanboys yeee!

Expect plenty updates over November then it will slow it down a bit in December until we are into the new year.

TwitchPress 2.10.0 just released with a potential fix.

Great

Well, you can see the paths point to the Twitch TV Embed Suite plugin and your theme.

The first two are indicating deprecated functions and are not faults, nothing to worry about. The second should really be dealt with by the theme author or in your own child-theme but again it’s not urgent and probably doesn’t break any features in your theme – probably.

Author here,

The recent version has caused an activation issue and what makes it difficult to solve is the lack of errors.

Everyone who can add these likes to their config.php file to ensure they generate error output should do so if they really want to contribute.

define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );
define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, true );

I will say though I’ve been unable to re-create the issue using the latest version and on fresh installations!

It seems there is a sudden influx of Multisite related feedback for this plugin so I’ll need to re-think my priority for supporting WPMU. Right after Twitch API version 6 is fully supported which will take another couple of months at this rate.

Issue Resolved
I’ve just released 2.9.0 which fixes this issue.

It is not related to the compatibility of Multisite and applies to all installations.

Your report on this is greatly appreciated @djquadrocks thanks. Accessing your site now requires database access and the editing of your roles which I’m happy to assist with. You can also find guides on how to copy and paste the required options value into your database.

The specific option is “wp_user_roles” and you need to update the value using the default on installation of WordPress which is “a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}” without the quotes.

Here is a guide on how to do this using a database query.

Not Ready for Multisite

I should have mentioned that there hasn’t been a focus on Multisite ever.

It hasn’t been in high demand and the current focus is also on Twitch API version 6 (Helix) as version 5 will be closed in the next few months – probably. There isn’t a sizable community around this project to ensure enough testing is done in Multisite for me to claim it is compatible.

Priority Low
At least for another 3-4 months, the priority for Multisite compatibility will be low unless…someone pays to have the work done. I’m not paid for this at all and so the limited time I have must be spent preparing for the changes at Twitch.tv which apply to all users.

I can confirm that the undefined function wp_reset_vars() belongs to the following file…

wp-admin/includes/misc.php

You’ll want to confirm that file exists and has not changed. If that is the case then the real issue might be how WP is loading or how a plugin is loading since the changes you made i.e. something is expecting wp_reset_vars() before the misc.php file has been loaded.

Seeing how the error is triggered within post.php I’m considering the issue being related to TwitchPress custom post types. I’ll look into this right now and consider how to address the issue.

I will confirm that the issue is that you have no access to wp-admin because an error is displayed instead. If you have not attempted to visit other admin pages other than post.php please do and report back as this will help me narrow things down fast.

Hey

Doesn’t sound good. Are you sure you don’t have another plugin that has error display set to on because this suggests error display is on. That is something my plugin does but if you’ve removed the plugin then it would be something else still showing errors.

I don’t suppose you know if deactivating the plugin can cause it or is it strictly uninstallation?

I will assume it is strictly uninstallation and examine the related functions now.

Thank you for your report and sorry for the trouble.
