5 months later…

what happened to the promised update?

ok, it looks like it’s working fine – perhaps min version can be dropped to 4.9?

i don’t actually know – i just saw that with 7.1.0 the min version was bumped to 4.9.8 so i didn’t upgrade

i could certainly use help Chris – i’m a dummy here

i have the .sql file … beyond that i’m stuck – i use Linux and have no idea how to extract the data i need or import it into the current db

i have a db browser, but it says the database isn’t a database

thanks for the update Chris – i see you did a lot of work here

unfortunately i seem to have been a victim of the ‘deactivate = lose all your subscribers’ bug prior to the update when i needed to troubleshoot something

is this data still in the db somewhere (can it be recovered)?

if not i’ll have to figure out if i can pull the subscriber list from a backup and import … and i’m not seeing an import function

well, we can disregard that request – i don’t know what happened, but i don’t recall seeing the notice the first time i published, but i do see it now

i went through Clearfy settings at least TWICE because i was certain it had an option to strip query strings … and i missed it twice ??

the reason i disabled them is because there is apparently a consensus that they are bad for SEO – if you agree, then i might suggest implementing an alternative method of passing this data if possible

questions…

1. when does Statify use query strings – when the JS opt. is enabled, disabled, or both?

2. Clearfy has 2 options: “Remove Version from Script” and “Remove Version from Stylesheet” – which one needs to be disabled?

see my reply above, but i also had another question…

i assume there’s not way to recover the ‘target’ value for the rows containing an empty value, therefore, is it ok/should i delete these rows?

> Are you using the javascript tracking?

i had been using a caching plug and i experimented with the JS tracking option on and off and it didn’t seem to make a difference – currently i’m not using the caching plug and the JS option is off

Fast Velocity Minify

> Maybe the JS link is broken or the parameters are stripped for some reason …

i use Clearfy and i disable REST API Links, XML-RPC, jQuery Migrate

…i’ll guess that the above info is probably of little use in figuring out what the problem is – i also wonder if these thousands of rows without targets isn’t pointing to a larger problem ???

dunno if this helps, but the character set defined in wp-config is define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4');

pretty sure this was ‘utf8’ by default, but i changed it for reasons i don’t remember, other than it was to solve a problem

that charset matches almost all of the db tables, except for the ‘statify’ table which is ‘latin1_swedish_ci’

hi Torsten

there are thousands of rows with empty targets, though they appear to be a rather small % of the total number

here’s an example…

thanks for the update Adam

not sure why you marked this as resolved – i reverted that

you haven’t heard from me because, unless you require additional info, i had nothing more to add other than that i/we have been waiting 5 months for this fix

> …we have an estimated time to release the fix…

great. when?

hi John

currently the min. wp version for Search Regex is 5.3 and ClassicPress is forked from wp 4.9

PHP Version: 7.3.22

i can provide more info if instructed as to what you need

also, unable to downgrade to 2.3.6 because it’s not in the WP repo apparently
