I’m using Elegant Themes’ Extra theme with Aspen Grove’s Walden child theme and have been experiencing the same issue. However it’s only with the social icons I’m using in project pages that I’ve repurposed for directory listings. It’s really weird. I’m also experiencing issues with the plugin causing “debug” messages to show on the home page though debug was not enabled in wp-config.php. I did the plugin disable/re-enable protocol and these messages only disappeared when I deactivated CyberSEO (I’m using the pro version). This is a real heartbreak because I want to syndicate the blogs of all my members. But the plugin dumped about 25-40 feeds I had already set up. I really want to get these issues worked out so I can launch this site but support has been a bit snippy with me. I don’t know what to do. $99/year and I’m not getting what I paid for nor am I getting any real support. Can someone step up to the plate and help me figure out what’s going on? I’d be happy to provide admin credentials to a support rep if that will help.

I am currently having this problem and can’t find anyone who will help me. The Site Health error messages I see are:
1. A plugin has prevented updates by disabling wp_version_check().
Passed No version control systems were detected.
Passed Your installation of WordPress doesn’t require FTP credentials to perform updates.
Passed All of your WordPress files are writable.
2. The scheduled event, action_scheduler_run_queue (this varies, but the error message is always there), is late to run. Your site still works, but this may indicate that scheduling posts or automated updates may not work as intended.
3. Loopback requests are used to run scheduled events, and are also used by the built-in editors for themes and plugins to verify code stability. The loopback request returned an unexpected http status code, 403, it was not possible to determine if this will prevent features from working as expected.

This is occurring on two client websites with nearly identical plugin profiles, hosted on the same GreenGeeks account. I do not have managed WordPress hosting, nor do I have any auto-updates set with Jetpack or the host server. I have repeatedly tried disabling all the plugins to identify which might be causing this, but the errors remain even with all plugins disabled. I have never encountered this on any of the 70+ other WordPress sites I manage, most of which use the same theme and similar plugin profiles and (most of which) are hosted with the same company.

This is causing problems with backing up the sites and uploading those backup files to Google Drive as well as other nuisances. I looked at the other entries about this but they were all closed and none of them made the solution to the issue clear.

@clorith, would it be possible for you to help me since you’ve dealt with this one before on both wordpress.com and www.remarpro.com?

• This reply was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by Hannah West Design. Reason: needed to add that the site with this issue does not have managed WordPress hosting and that disabling all plugins does not cause the error to disappear

Got it…the update appeared and I applied it, and it’s not breaking the site any longer. Yay!! However, the age gate is automatically appearing on all galleries on the site now, not just the one that’s NSFW. I don’t see any way to control where it displays, can you point me in the right direction?

What should I do to be able to activate the plugin without taking my client’s site down now? The Plugins page is not presenting an update to 4.1.3…

I just updated to 4.1.2 and I’m having the same issue. I also do not use WooCommerce, the client’s sites I use this for are protecting content. Here’s what shows in my error log:

Thank you so much for your help today, I really appreciate it.

I think your second message was what happe3ned, because I just checked and the BPs Pro version I see is 14.1. I’ll run the setup wizard now to make sure everything is smoothed over.

Well apparently that’s all that needed to be done because I just refreshed an admin page and the error message disappeared. Is there anything else you can tell me needs to be done? Run the setup wizard?

Done

Oddly enough, this is the htaccess file that’s in wp-content

thank you:

Hi, I’m not the OP, but I’m having the same problem with one site. After reading through this thread, I checked the wp-content .htaccess for the same code and it was not present. I’m getting the same error message as the OP posted to open this thread. Sucuri is not in use on this site, and previously I tried installing it just to revert the hardening, but it showed the hardening as NOT having been done, so there was nothing to revert. I deleted it again after that. I’m not sure how to proceed with troubleshooting this issue now. Could you tell me what to look for and where to look please?

Yes, I changed the pagination so all the images would appear on one page a while back. Actually, I surrendered and bought the pro version of the theme ($19 was a reasonable investment in light of the circumstances) so I could get support and one of their devs gave me a hand with it, so it’s functioning as expected now. Thanks for reaching out!

Well, it’s been two weeks and I haven’t heard a word from anyone. NOW the oil paintings portfolio page is not displaying image on Page ONE, though it DOES display them on pages 2 & 3. PLEASE help me with this! I’m updating the paintings on this client’s portfolio pages and if we don’t have everything displaying nicely by the time her next show begins at the beginning of July, we will have to find another theme.

Thanks, Ethan. This is a site I’ve recently taken over from another designer who has moved on to bigger and better things and doesn’t have much time to help me with the transition. It’s hard to determine how he did some of his customizations, but it looks to me like he customized the footer in order to add an html contact form at the bottom of each page. I guess I’ll have to figure out with my new client what’s the best way forward.

Thanks for your help,
Hannah
