Twenty Twenty-Five

I decided to stop using the Site Editor and instead used https://underscores.me to generate a starter theme. It’s dramatically easier for me to customize the resulting starter theme in code, compared with using the Site Editor GUI.

Thank you ThemesGrove. That was it. The problem is the result of an old CRM plugin called PauPress, more recently renamed PressPoint. I’ll have to check with the site owner to see if they want to try upgrading the plugin to a more recent version. The older version of the plugin is no longer compatible with recent WP releases.

“what is the best way to put this great plugin into development mode”

For local development, in your wp-config-local.php, you can explicitly set the $_GET value like so…

// Disable autoptimize for local development.
$_GET['ao_noptimize'] = '1';

FYI, I was seeing very similar errors in my log today with the 7.7 version of the plugin. This is in WP 4.6.1.

Thanks. I discovered that there are godaddy-related mu (“must use”) plugins. I wasn’t familiar with this concept of mu plugins. By renaming the mu-plugins directory to mu-plugins_SAVE, I have deactivated the godaddy-related plugins. I will have to continue to experiment to see if this causes problems with the site.

Here’s the solution, which I find quite strange:

$args = array(
	'posts_per_page' => 3,
	'meta_query' => array(
		'relation' => 'OR',
		array(
			'key' => 'myfieldname',
			'value' => 'myvalue',
			'compare' => 'LIKE',
		),
	),
);
$query = new WP_Query($args);
var_dump($query->have_posts());

Surprisingly unintuitive that “LIKE” would be used here. One would definitely not use a LIKE query if coding something like this from scratch with PHP/MySQL.

Actually, I’ve realized the code works. I just didn’t think it was working, because the editor-styles.css is not referenced in the head in the usual way, but instead appears only in the tinyMCEPreInit settings.

This is all that’s needed:

add_editor_style('editor-style.css');

Along with the editor-style.css file itself.

Hm. So, there’s no way to simply pull some tweets from an account using this plugin? Is there another plugin you recommend for that purpose, or should I use the API?

RESOLVED, sort of:
It’s a compass issue. The terminal makes it look like compass is changing the CSS files right away, but it isn’t. It takes several seconds. I’ve not seen compass work so slowly before this.

My issue has been resolved. It was a permissions problem on the server. The plugin is working.

Also of note, I’m getting a “you do not have sufficient privileges” page when I click on the settings link for this plugin. This despite being logged in as an admin. I don’t get that message when I click on the settings links for other plugins.

Here’s a page with a comment form:

The plugin is currently deactivated, but here’s what the captcha HTML looks like when it’s activated: https://pastebin.com/YDAThvT1

I installed Mike’s SI Captcha. The captcha interface is showing on my comment forms, but the captcha image isn’t showing up. The image looks like what you get in a browser when the img src is incorrect.

I am running PHP 5.2.9. GD is enabled. phpinfo() says the GD version is “bundled (2.0.34 compatible)”. The FreeType version is 2.2.1. Everything in the GD section of the phpinfo is enabled.

Any ideas why the image doesn’t show up?

Thank you!

To answer my own question… looks like this has been fixed. It’s not a problem in 2.8.4.
