I think it’s working! * You can verify that your CPU is within limits by logging into SiteGround, select Services at the top, then select View Statistics from the menu that appears when you click the 3 vertical dots at the far right of your hosting plan. Scroll to the bottom to see your CPU Seconds over the last hour compared with your plan. Hit your site a few times and refresh this graph to ensure that your CPU Seconds isn’t increasing drastically. * Good luck! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[MailPoet - Newsletters, Email Marketing, and Automation] mailpoet is consuming a lot of CPU of my server (siteground)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-is-consuming-a-lot-of-cpu-of-my-server-siteground/) * [Brent Logan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bl/) * (@bl) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-is-consuming-a-lot-of-cpu-of-my-server-siteground/#post-15065573) * Yeah, I’m on SiteGround and using MailPoet. The update on November 4 pegged my CPU until I ran out of my month’s CPU minutes. For now, the solution is to delete MailPoet. I’ll be watching for updates. For now, it’s unusable. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[MailPoet - Newsletters, Email Marketing, and Automation] Mailpoet form editor is blank](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-form-editor-is-blank/) * Thread Starter [Brent Logan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bl/) * (@bl) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-form-editor-is-blank/#post-13873692) * Since my last message, I reviewed all the titles of my 2,610 posts (regex is a godsend) for potentially malformed UTF8 and found none. I then reviewed the content of all the posts and found and corrected some. * The form was still blank. * I started going through the posts individually, converting the few remaining to Gutenberg and normalizing to my preferred formating. After going through less than 20 of my oldest posts, my site crashed, no idea why. A quick reboot of the server and all is well, including the form editor. Strange. I typically update/ upgrade my server weekly and reboot, so this shouldn’t have been what resolved the issue. I have to assume that what resolved the issue was resolving the UTF8 errors and then clearing the caches with the reboot. * Anyways, if UTF8 sensitivity is indeed the issue, it would be a nice feature for those of us with thousands of posts to set the PHP JSON encoder to ignore UTF8 errors. * [https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php) * I’m going to mark this as resolved. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[MailPoet - Newsletters, Email Marketing, and Automation] Mailpoet form editor is blank](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-form-editor-is-blank/) * Thread Starter [Brent Logan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bl/) * (@bl) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-form-editor-is-blank/#post-13868147) * I just updated both the plugin and the premium plugin to version 3.57.0. I still have a blank edit form. To debug this, I have: - Cleared all server caches - Disabled all plugins except MailPoet plugins - Switched to the Twenty Twenty-one theme - Put CloudFlare into developer mode - Cleared the browser cache, and used an incognito browser * As best I can guess, there’s something wrong with my post data, resulting in an unassigned var mailpoet_all_wp_posts (see my screencap, linked in my previous comment). Unfortunately, I don’t know where to look at this point. I can’t find any MailPoet logs on my server that might assist. I would love some direction. * Thanks! * Tagging [@wysija](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wysija/) because you responded before. Hoping you can help now. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[MailPoet - Newsletters, Email Marketing, and Automation] Mailpoet form editor is blank](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-form-editor-is-blank/) * Thread Starter [Brent Logan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bl/) * (@bl) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-form-editor-is-blank/#post-13841823) * The error message I mentioned above can be seen here: * [https://brentlogan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Screenshot-2020-12-28-170011.png](https://brentlogan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Screenshot-2020-12-28-170011.png) * Maybe this indicates that MailPoet is having problems with encoding my posts. I went through them, looking for potential UTF-8 encoding issues, but didn’t find any. * I wonder if there is a capacity limit that I’m running into. I have 2,610 published posts on my blog. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[MailPoet - Newsletters, Email Marketing, and Automation] Mailpoet form editor is blank](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-form-editor-is-blank/) * Thread Starter [Brent Logan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bl/) * (@bl) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-form-editor-is-blank/#post-13840768) * Hi, [@wysija](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wysija/)! * I’m currently using the default MailPoet Page for the Sign-up Confirmation page.( I’m also using the default MailPoet Page for the manage Subscription page and both Unsubscribe pages.) * Looking at the page drop-down list, I see the following characters that are not purely alphanumeric and that are included in page titles: * — (2 hyphens in a row) @ ! ? ‘ * I have no accented characters in page titles. I assume you’re not asking about post titles. * As an experiment, I either deleted the page or edited these characters out of their names and then tried to edit the MailPoet subscription form. I still get a blank form. - This reply was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by [Brent Logan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bl/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[MailPoet - Newsletters, Email Marketing, and Automation] Mailpoet form editor is blank](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-form-editor-is-blank/) * Thread Starter [Brent Logan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bl/) * (@bl) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-form-editor-is-blank/#post-13823762) * Version 3.56.2 did not fix this. * Also, I’m getting the same 2 errors in the browser console. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[MailPoet - Newsletters, Email Marketing, and Automation] Mailpoet form editor is blank](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-form-editor-is-blank/) * Thread Starter [Brent Logan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bl/) * (@bl) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-form-editor-is-blank/#post-13797898) * Version 3.56.1 did not fix this. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Featherlight - A Simple jQuery Lightbox] Gallery animation spins squashed image, not just circular spinner](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-animation-spins-squashed-image-not-just-circular-spinner/) * Thread Starter [Brent Logan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bl/) * (@bl) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gallery-animation-spins-squashed-image-not-just-circular-spinner/#post-12667727) * Awesome, thanks! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Code Snippets] Snippets BROKEN after update to 2.9.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/snippets-broken-after-update-to-2-9-1/) * [Brent Logan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bl/) * (@bl) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/snippets-broken-after-update-to-2-9-1/#post-9476311) * Wow!

If you don’t have a lot of readers, writing a good post, refering to another’s post, and trackbacking might entice some to come to your blog. If they like what they see, they might return. * I just saw another blogger shut of his trackbacks today because he was getting too much trackback spam. He doesn’t use WP. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [What do I put in the “Send Trackbacks to” field?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-do-i-put-in-the-send-trackbacks-to-field/) * [Brent Logan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bl/) * (@bl) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-do-i-put-in-the-send-trackbacks-to-field/#post-162169) * slobizman, when you read someone else’s blog, go to the comments section for an article. Many times, there will be a trackbacks URL listed. You can cut and paste this in the “send trackbacks to” field. Other times, like at my site, you’ll have to right-click on the trackbacks text and save the URL. Not as friendly, but I haven’t figured out how to change that. * You should also be aware that if you’re using WordPress 1.5, there is a bug. Trackbacks don’t get sent unless you make a small change to one of your files. Here’s the bug report. * [http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=884](http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=884) * Once you get beyond the technical aspects of trackbacks, then there’s the “trackback etiquette” to follow. Many people (most?) consider it bad form to send trackbacks to an article without also including a link to that article in your post.
