• I had a very old install of PDb. My server was PHP 5.6 max. I upgraded our hosting package and did the migration myself. This is line of events…. I had the worst experience with my provider ever and a few things were out of my control.

    – I did a fresh install of WordPress
    – I exported my database from old and imported to new
    – I replaced the new wp-content folder with the one I was using on the old server.

    Found out my Database download was corrupt and I had to grab a backup that was about 3 weeks older. I THINK I did an update of PDB in those 3 weeks.

    I deactivated all plugins and restarted one at a time looking for errors.

    My PDB plugin kept saying I was missing files. I uninstalled it and reinstalled. grabbed the 3 tables from my old DB and replaced the new empty ones in my new DB.

    I’m sure I threw the baby out with the bathwater because the private ID link has a mish mash of some sort and does not point to the correct page to edit. It points to the single record page AND but the slug ‘edit’ even though that is not the slug. I even tried using the post id (I did set up the edit record page in settings under record for settings.)

    And I have noticed can can not change the single page either. I shows in the settings but does not actually change.

    I have the permalinks add on and the Set Private ID Length on, but turning them off makes no difference.

    I tried moving the page, renaming the page, making a new page, no joy. I looked in the WP-Options table but I can’t find it.

    Any help would be appreciated. I am proficient with phpMyAdmin

    Thank you

    The situation you’re facing is very complex and it so it’s not possible for me to identify the specific problem you’re asking about.

    One place to start is to check the configuration of the “Participant Record Page” under the Record Form tab in the plugin settings. Make sure this points to the correct page.

    I got it working on the front end by removing the info in permalinks:
    Enable Permalinks on Record Edit URLs unchecked
    Record Edit URL Key blank
    then updated the slugs.

    I want to sue those functions.

    Is is safe to drop these rows in wp_opptions?

    _transient_participant_cache_13
    _transient_participant_cache_14
    _transient_participant_cache_15
    _transient_participant_cache_16
    _transient_participant_cache_17

    I also see in same search
    _transient_participant_cache_stale_flags

    Thanks again,

    It’s always safe to delete transients from the options table, although there is really no reason to do so other than to keep things tidy. There is no performance penalty for unused rows in the table.
