I’m having this problem too. It has generated a 28GB error log for today (well, today is only 2/3 over for me so it will get bigger).

Are you saying the plugin in the public repo will not be fixed?

Razvan, After updating from 4.9.8 to 4.9.9 it seems to be fixed. Thanks,

Mark

Any update on this? I’m experiencing the same problem. I can ping license.wpchill.com with good response times, but the curl command to check a license takes at least a few seconds, but in many cases times out after 2 minutes. I have a site with 9 dlm plugins on it, and because of this we can’t manage any of the plugins because every page view is a 2-3 minute timeout.

I’ve tried running the curl command from a couple of different locations with different upstream networks. Same issue.

Here’s some more info. Well not really new info, just a transcript of a few commands to demonstrate I believe I set cafile in the right php.ini file, but still get the curl error on many, but not all, wp-cli runs.

$ php --version

$ wp --version
WP-CLI 2.8.1

$ php info.php | grep curl
/etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-curl.ini,
curl
curl.cainfo => /etc/php/7.4/cli/cacert.pem => /etc/php/7.4/cli/cacert.pem

$ head -5 /etc/php/7.4/cli/cacert.pem

$ wp transient delete --all
AIOS_Helper::request_remote exception - cURL error 77: error setting certificate verify locations:  CAfile: /home/XXX/public_html/sitename/wp-includes/Requests/s
rc/../certificates/cacert.pem CApath: /etc/ssl/certs
Success: 2 transients deleted from the database.

Note, when I set curl.capath or curl.cafile, it doesn’t change the error message which mentions a location in core for CAfile and /etc/ssl/certs for CApath.

I’m afraid my announcement of success was premature as well. It turns out the problem is more intermittent than I thought. When I tested after adding the cainfo setting, it didn’t give the error. But then later doing some other things (search-replace mostly) I’m back to getting curl error 77.

I tried some more variations, like setting cafile or capath, but the results are inconsistent. I still see curl error 77 on many, but not all, wp-cli runs.

@hjogiupdraftplus thank you for the pointer, that got me to a fix.

I downloaded a current cacert.pem from https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html and set curl.cainfo in my php.ini to point to the file. No more error messages from curl.

I was led astray by curl mentioning a specific path in the WP core that was really not related to the issue.

Thanks again,
Mark

@highzera I looked at your page, and see the empty playlist= is still there. I compared it to what my customer’s page produces and there are a couple of differences (on hers the URL is in a src=”…” tag and on yours it’s is a data-src=”…” tag. I don’t know the cause of those differences.

If you’d like to email your youtube-advanced.php file to me at [email protected] I can verify it looks right.

If someone else understands what causes the different src tags maybe they can chime in.

@mustafaaksoy the file is in the shortcodes-ultimate plugin directory. From the top level of your WordPress site, it would be in wp-content/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/includes/shortcodes/youtube-advanced.php

@highzera That should do it. In some environments it takes a couple of minutes before the server will see the change. If it’s still not working after 5 minutes or so then I’m not sure what the issue may be.

If you “View Source” on the web page with the video, search for the youtube.com link, does the URL have “playlist=” in it?

I had a customer with this problem too. The loop=1 workaround worked, but the site has hundreds of embedded videos so it wasn’t practical. I thought about adding loop=1 in a database search/replace but that seemed dangerous and time consuming (if it didn’t work right the first time).

I confirmed the issue just popped up, while this site was using version 5.9.0 of the plugin, and I tried a few versions between that and 5.10.1 with the same result. Based on this I think the change might have been at youtube, deciding “playlist=” is an error, whereas before it was ignored.

I eventually decided to kludge this in the plugin code.
In the file includes/shortcodes/youtube-advanced.php around line 212 I changed this:
if ( '1' === $url_params['loop'] && '' === $url_params['playlist'] ) {
to this:
if ( '' === $url_params['playlist'] ) {

Now it’s worked around, without the loop=1 parameter being needed. I’m assuming this will all get worked out somewhere before the next update of this plugin.

We have the same problem … no definition of function l()

Had to revert to older version.

I have confirmed stb-uploader.php in this plugin allows you to upload
an arbitrary zip file, which it kindly unpacks for you. I was able
to use it to upload a PHP shell without any prior authentication. I
recommend removing this plugin ASAP until it gets repaired.

One of my customer’s sites got nailed with it yesterday too.

I upgraded to 1.9.1 from their web site (don’t know why it’s not available through the WP plugin repository).

Anyway, with 1.9.1 the popups are behaving correctly.

I had the same issue, with the current version (4.4.1.0). Same solution: don’t use commas. Quotes did not tickle the bug for me.

However, I’m still having a problem with the shortcode — I can’t get before_date to work. I tried this:

[RSSImport display=”5″ feedurl=”https://members.swcp.com/webdev/feed/rss2&#8243; date=”1″ before_date=”<small>”]

On the page, it displays the text “<small>” instead of leaving the tag there to have the intended effect. (I.e. the HTML source contains the escaped tag with ampersands)

I didn’t find any notes about needing to escape tags. I tried several things to do that, but failed. Any ideas?

Thanks
