In reply to: Add Plugins Search is hangingHi @crashtackle, I’m sorry to hear the ‘search’ option in ‘Add Plugins’ has stopped working and is hanging for you.
To clarify, this is hanging when you type in a search term in the search bar on /wp-admin/plugin-install.php , correct ? See screenshot at https://d.pr/i/NaIoti
Does the plugin search work if you browse directly to <yourdomain>/wp-admin/plugin-install.php?s=test&tab=search&type=term ? If so, there may be some conflicting code that is preventing the search from refreshing when you type in a term.
If so, this may be a plugin or theme conflict. I’d recommend to test the following on a non-live (or local) version of your website to ensure the front end of your live website isn’t affected.
- Please attempt to disable all plugins and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
- This may be difficult to do since you can’t install plugins, but you could try to install and activate “Health Check”: https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/
It will add some additional features under the menu item under Tools > Site Health.
On its troubleshooting tab, you can Enable Troubleshooting Mode. This will disable all plugins, switch to a standard WordPress theme (if available), allow you to turn your plugins on and off and switch between themes, without affecting normal visitors to your site. This allows you to test for various compatibility issues.
There’s a more detailed description about how to use the Health Check plugin and its Troubleshooting Mode at https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/
If you’re still experiencing the issue after disabling plugins/themes, it’s possible there could be a communication issue between your web server and WordPress’ plugins directory. Reach out to your hosting company to see if they can help troubleshoot the issue.
Hi @financesquared, it’s not clear to me exactly what happened while setting up your WordPress website, but I’d recommend looking into taking the following steps to troubleshoot:
- Use the website control panel provided by your hosting provider (BlueHost) to attempt setting up the site again.
- Contact your host (BlueHost) for support specific to your account: https://www.bluehost.com/contact
- If you are comfortable troubleshooting websites, try downloading WordPress again, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and delete then replace your copies of everything except the
wp-config.phpfile and the/wp-content/directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all your core files without damaging your content and settings.
Good luck, and I hope you can resolve the issues with your website soon.

In reply to: [Gutenberg] Conflict with WP5.0-beta2Marius, FWIW I rebooted my local environment and no longer am having the issues. There must have been something cached from a previous version of Gutenberg or something like that. I appreciate you looking into it, thanks!

In reply to: [Gutenberg] Conflict with WP5.0-beta2To make sure it wasn’t browser extensions, I disabled all extensions and tried a couple of other browsers with the same results of the following errors when I go to http://gutenberg.test/wp-admin/post-new.php :
TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'window._wpLoadBlockEditor.then')
and
TypeError: Object(a.registerFormatType) is not a function. (In 'Object(a.registerFormatType)(e,n)', 'Object(a.registerFormatType)' is an instance of Object)No other errors or missing assets or anything either. I am working from my local environment, but don’t have any issues with Gutenberg if the plugin is disabled.

In reply to: [Gutenberg] Conflict with WP5.0-beta2Hey Marius thanks for the reply! I just verified that I am using the latest version of the plugin (4.1.1). See screenshot at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1GV8UYfoehBa3SfxK4fjPqG7rZvW35lOe

In reply to: [Duo Two-Factor Authentication] No settings link once activatedTeejeer, are you using a multisite network? I found that I needed to go into the network settings when I activated the plugin to configure for a multisite network. It’s not well-documented, so it might be a good item to add to future documentation.

In reply to: [Getty Images] Sitewide CredentialsThanks for the reply Karissa! Editors for the site don’t download imagery from the website at all – they only use the Getty plugin. This sort of enhancement would definitely be helpful for a future enhancement. Thanks again!

In reply to: [Multisite Shared Menu] not showing on child siteHi Julie,
If you followed the steps, then the menu from the parent site should be appearing in the selected menu location on the child site. It could be there’s a bug or something conflicting, but I just tested with the latest version of WordPress and everything seemed to be working correctly. Could you let me know your WordPress version and theme you are using and maybe I can try to figure it out.
Thanks,

In reply to: [Multisite Shared Menu] Would you please update it?Hi salamzaban, please check out the latest update and let me know if this works better for you.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Multisite Shared Menu] "Source site" field blank for all other sitesI updated this in the code to $blogTemp[‘domain’] . $blogTemp[‘path’] to catch both uses if someone has their multisite setup for domains and if others have it set up for folders.

In reply to: Plugin and WordPress updates no longer work, they just hangHi gwmbox, have you looked in the error logs to see if there are any errors output when you attempt to update? That might be helpful in determining what is going on.

In reply to: 2 separate unconnected blog pagesIt looks like they are two separate websites, the first hosted by a hosting company and the second hosted by wordpress.com. Probably if the owner contacted the ‘lost password’ section at https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

In reply to: [Dynamic Widgets] Multisite buggyI believe I have a solution to this. If I add
add_action( 'wpmu_new_blog', 'dynwid_install');to line 939 in dynamic-widgets.php and it will call the install function (table creation) when a new site is created. Hope that helps. I tried to find a repository to contribute to, but figured just putting it in here would be helpful.
