Tikatu

I had the same issue. I got into my backend on my webhost and renamed the plugin. (Thanks, WPChina, for the idea!) I hope the developer goes over the script carefully to find whatever is giving us all this trouble and fixes it; I’ve found the plugin to be really helpful up to now.

Well, I found that the easiest way to deal with the issue was to have my webhost increase my PHP version to 7. No more problem.

Still, the support for older versions of PHP was promised. You might want to look into that.

Turned out the outgoing connection had been blocked. I allowed it and now the scan is running properly.

Thanks for all your help. I’ll remember this for next time it happens.

Okay, I will. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply.

I’ve unblocked the IP. What I’d like to know is why is the link to Automattic showing up in my WordPress live traffic when it hasn’t before? The way it appears makes it look like an attack of some sort and I understand DDoS attacks are made on the xmlrpc.

Actually, I had 6.1.14 installed and was still getting the Notice: Undefined index. Now that I’ve deactivated and reactivated it, I’m not getting the message anymore. Of course, this means I’m back at square one for resetting my options, etc.

My php version is 5.4.45.

Well, I did something on the back end (restored?) and my site is now back. The plugin is deactivated but when I tried to activate it, I got the parse error and this message:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error

So I guess it will stay deactivated until the next version. Thank you for your time.

It seems that the Stealth Publish plugin is the culprit. The plugin author is aware but hasn’t fixed it. I’ve disabled and deleted it. Hopefully, that will do the trick.

I tried both of those in the Edit CSS portion of the child theme. Neither seemed to make a difference. Does the code need to go elsewhere in the child theme’s CSS or do I need to try something else?

BTW, the Edit CSS stylesheet strips out different elements (such as the asterix) and adds space in others (between color: and white). Is this normal?

I did this today. My webhost helped me out with this tutorial link:

How to change the WordPress database prefix

Well, I tried again a third time and that seemed to do it. I have no idea what the problem was, but Jetpack is now updated.

I actually found a plug-in that does this for me!! It’s called WP Hide Post. It allows me to change the visibility of a page and yet I can still get to it via a link! Sweet!

Okay. Here’s what I have so far.

I’m using the “Stealth Publish” plug-in to keep pages from appearing in any feeds. I thought this might also keep the chapters from appearing in the page bar but that’s not happening. The story title “landing page” will have links using “a href” to the various chapters and I’ve written code that will add a “next chapter/previous chapter” to the end of each chapter.

Right now, the page drop down looks like this:
Tikatu’s Corner — top level
  Story type — child page
   Story title — grandchild page (landing page)
    Chapter 1 — great-grandchild page
    Chapter 2 — great-grandchild page

I would prefer to have the landing page be the primary “portal” to the stories. One of the novels has 80 chapters; for that to become a drop-down from the page bar is pretty idiotic, as seen above. Plus, a reader can click on the next link in line to the last chapter they previously read. It will likely be a big help in allowing readers to keep track where they’ve been. Very important in that long novel as all the chapter titles begin with “Un”…

So, any ideas how I can do this? Can I use an exclusion? If so, where would I put it? I thought about making the Tikatu’s Corner page a showcase page and use the pages widget on it but all that did was showcase my BLOG posts, which is not what I want. (Though I wouldn’t mind doing that for the blog itself… hmm.) There is a plug-in that might help with the issue of having all the pages showing in a list, but it seems most of the widgets end up on the blog page, too.
