Login activity empty, error message “The server garbled the last response”

Hello!

Thank you for your answer and ideas.

Tonight, I logged on, and surprisingly, thie first attempt to look to the Activity, shows a list. In my happyness, I clicked the option Stats, there was the “garbled” back. I return to Activity, again “garbled”.
That was in Firefox “normal mode”.
In Private mode, I only see the “garbled”.

I followed your instructions for the Inspector, I do see the response containing lines and records from the database, containing the expected information that should be shown in the Activity list.
I see a tree structure for the JSON title:

data: {…}
page: 0
pages: 2
total: 147
items: […]
0: {…}
…
49: {…}
bans: […]
0: {…}
…
3: {…}
errors: []
msg:
status: 200

Below this, a block with title “Response payload”.
It roughly contains the same information, but in one line instead of each item on a new line.

At first sight, there is no WP_DEBUG in these results.

So, I think, the data is pulled out of the database well, and somehow, it’s not converted into a nice lay-out.

The number 49 is unclear for me, the Meow2 Log table contains 151 rows.

During this test, I saw I was using a Dutch language setup of Firefox, I replaced it by the English/UK language edition, same 57.0.2 x64, same issue.
Meanwhile, also the addblocker disabled, still this issue.

I did the same on my Mac, additional information is shown in this window:
First, it’s with Firefox 52.0.2 for Mac:
Same steps as above, below the “response payload”, a small window with red background says:

TypeError: t.bind is not a function

On the Windows computer, I can’t find this error or any screen telling something about an error.
Is this piece telling you something?

Hi,
Thanks for the work and follow-up!

WP is running the latest edition, 4.9.1. No updates announced. So I can’t update this one 😉
Yesterday night, I started set up a test environment. Dump of DB and FTP of files worked well, but a white page. So no test environment available yet. I continue tonight.

I confirm: Sometimes, the Login Activity and Login Statistics show data, most of the time they show the “garbled” and no stats.

This morning, I found out the Login Activity is always shown the first time after opening Firefox and logon to the back-end of my website.
I did a short test: right-click the menu option “Login Activity” and “Open in a new tab” and yes, this way, every time, I see the stats as expected.
Same for Login Stats: Via “Open in new tab”, it goes well.

With your new version, the “sometimes” is less, but not gone, I’m sorry.
But, the trick of this morning continues: Via “Open in new tab”, the pages show up correctly, no errors.

Saving settings was never an issue or didn’t result into errors.

Wild guess: Memory issue with FF? If a new fresh tab, without ‘history’ shows up the page well, and after this first try, errors start to show up… ?

Hi,

No difference.

I tried to look into the other tabs, to discover anything.
Nothing strange or nothing that could indicate something.
I looked to the tab “Memory”. No pattern.
For Network and only XHR selected, I looked to Headers, cookies, params, response, timings, stack trace, security. No pattern. No differences between a good and a bad response.

I continue to set up my Test server, with a copy of the Live website and a second Test website, filled with some random pages.
And see how the Meow will ‘sound’ 😉

I keep posted.
