I downloaded version 1.323 to my test site and it fixed the issue.

What is the Share link supposed to do?

I tried adding the code you posted at https://gist.github.com/tenman/d579513a0d88bbb1e16f to my child theme’s functions.php, but it didn’t seem to change anything. Do I need to add this code to the main themes functions.php?

Thanks for all your hard work.

Hi Nobita,

Sorry I think I misunderstood you. I tested $raindrops_allow_share_link = false; and it fixed the issue by hiding the share link.

I just tried adding $excerpt = wptexturize( $excerpt ); to the main themes functions.php and the long share link still exists. I’m not sure if I was supposed to add anything else for the fix.

Sorry for the confusion.

Yeah I’m all good. Thanks for the fix.

I added the line to my child themes functions.php and it fixed the issue.

I believe the cause was an apostrophe in the title of the post, “What’s a Bit”. The link cut off right after the word “What”. Here’s a look at the broken share link.

<a bit?<="" a="" s="" href="data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,<div style=&quot;border:1px solid gray;padding:1em;box-sizing:border-box;&quot;><h3><a href=&quot;https://test.labsrc.com/whats-a-bit/&quot;>What"><div>Welcome to the first ever installment of SrcBits, an ongoing series comprised of tips, notes, commen...</div><div></div></a>

I’m using HTML in Excerpt. The excerpts show up correctly on the main page. The problem I’m having is on one of the post pages. An excerpt of itself is showing up at the bottom of the post for some reason. I have a screenshot of it HERE

I removed the first code from customize.php and added in your new code to my child themes function.php and it still works.

Do you have a donations page?

I figured out how to turn on debugging in wordpress and found there was a fatal error with one of the themes PHP scripts. I sent the error to the author and he provided a patch which fixes the issue. Thanks for your response.

Hi,

I added that code to the customize.php in the parent theme and it solves the issue. Should I create a customize.php in my child theme?

Just posted your your glowing review. Thanks again for all your help

Hey

I just made a breakthrough. I figured out how to turn debugging on in wordpress. There’s a fatal error when loading the Customize page.

PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /var/www/test.domain.com/wp-content/themes/raindrops/lib/customize.php on line 1840

I tested migrating the site to a new server and the customize page loads fine regardless of what raindrops version I’m on. The issue appears to happen if I duplicate the site and change the site URL. Is it possible there’s something in your theme that’s still trying to point to the old URL?

I have been in contact with the theme author and he doesn’t know why this issue is happening.

Ok I figured it out and you can feel free to ban me from your forums moving forward although I hope you take pity on me.

So my initial testing was on a site that had an SSL cert and I had simple firewall enforcing SSL logins. For some reason on my old server I didn’t need to specify AllowOverride All on the SSL side of the Apache virtual host config. I did have it specified on the non-ssl part of the config though.

When I cloned the site to the new server and copied over the Apache config, apparently this was not the case. The default is for Apache not to allow any overrides. It may be that I changed the default setting on the old server a long time ago or it may be a change that was made by Apache. Unsure at this point.

Bottomline for everyone else, AllowOverride All should be in both the port 80 & 443 parts of your Apache config or else you will suffer a fate like mine that and you will waste peoples time like I have.

I feel very sorry for all the time you spent on my issue. Is there anyway I can make a 1 time donation to you?

Hey,

So I deleted the current Simple Firewall Plugin and installed the one you gave me. I enabled WP_DEBUG & WP_DEBUG_LOG in my wp-config.php but don’t see any log file when I get the 404 error.

Sorry am new to PHP debugging, where would I see the output?

P.S. Thanks for all the time you’re spending helping on this.
