 * Yup I saw that feature but it’s not exactly what I am talking about.
 * I want plugin files to be monitored at all times in case of a hack etc… 
   What
   I want is a feature that allows plugins to be updated by certain users (or User
   Roles or if it happens through something like MainWP) and File Monitor will not
   report these file changes since they are tied to a plugin update by an appropriate
   user account. It’s understood that file changes will happen here and they should
   be ignored just in this case. Of course if file changes happen by some other 
   means then they need to be reported.I maintain a large number of websites and
   it’s time consuming after legitimate plugin updates to go into each website and
   mark these type of events as read.
 * Does that make sense?

 * The websites are on Vultr server (nginx) and use the Runcloud Control Panel (
   which is how I can apply 8G firewall).
   When testing make sure to clear the browser
   cache or use incognito mode as enabling 8G firewall on a website you have already
   visited and viewed the Google Sitekit Dashboard will appear to work.I also submitted
   more info you requested privately using your link.

 * I get the same error on a few of my websites after the latest update to Google
   Sitekit. Looking at the browser console I noticed the following error (among 
   others due to the script being missing which I will not post here)
   `admin.php?
   page=googlesitekit-dashboard:1 Refused to execute script from 'https://example.
   com/RUNCLOUD-8G-WAF-BLOCKED' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not executable,
   and strict MIME type checking is enabled.`Disabling the 8G firewall fixes this
   error and Google Sitekit. It also works fine under 7G firewall or with an older
   version of Google Sitekit and the 8G firewall.Other sites that I have that do
   work with the latest Google Sitekit (which is on another platform) have 8G enabled
   but I have a few rules white listed.So it looks like the latest Google Sitekit
   update causes a false positive with 8G firewall.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the reply. That was my first thought as well. My new server DB uses:
 * utf8mb4_general_ci
 * and the original Cloudways DB used:
 * utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci
 * I thought that if it fell under utf8mb4… the emojis should have been okay?

 * Thanks for your help. I found the custom fields setting for excerpts in Relevanssi.**
   This is perfect.**
 * One issue I found is it also looks like on queries with pagination, excerpts 
   for those posts on page 2+ or load more are missing the auto excerpts.
   Disabling
   Relevanssi plugin and those missing excerpts on page 2+ are then again displayed.
   This happens on the search page and blog post page. (the only ones I have to 
   test with)
 * Could this be a Relevanssi bug or more Bricks? 
   I’ll open an issue with Bricks
   as well.

 * Thanks for the reply. So I can retrieve the post excerpt using dynamic data which
   does highlight any text that happens to be in the actual post excerpt.
 * What happens is the text is somewhere else like in a custom field or post content.
   Does the sentence with the match text get moved to the post excerpt by Relevanssi
   or can I retrieve this matching sentence some how?
   After doing more testing it
   looks like the Admin search only returns excerpts if they actually exist for 
   the post… I had thought it returned text from any part of the post if matching
   text was found.

 * All right I use Bricks to build the pages so it looks like I had to enable a 
   toggle for my query to turn on “Is main query (archive, Search) for the grid.
   
   It was working before when this was enabled (as you are only suppose to turn 
   it on if the query is not working). It was working before I installed Relevanssi
   but only partly after installing it. Enabling it did the trick and everything
   is working fine now.Hopefully my journey with this issue helps someone else! 
   😉

 * Hmmm…. technically this is still not solved. Sometimes it works and sometimes
   it does not, that’s why I though it worked above… (more often not)
 * This also could maybe be in part a WP GridBuilder issue.

   For the WordPress Search Page and archive search I use WP Gridbuilder Facets.
   One for the Text Search Field and then one for the load more button. I wanted
   a consistent search experience across the website.The search works fine except
   when searching for something that does not exist.For example if I search for “
   test” it brings up a certain number of pages. When I search for “tester” it brings
   up all the pages (when it should be none).
 * In the Admin search it works as expected.
   Both of these are template pages… I
   do have a similar setup on another dev website. I also have a FAQs page with 
   this type of search setup which seems to work fine…

   and the id of the field was incorrect.

 * This is what Elementor Support just told me about the plugin and translations
   issue:
 * `Our developer is currently working on it since it is not only on the Elementor
   part but also with the other 3rd party plugins and WordPress.

   and WordPress are collaborating to investigate and fix it.Apologies for the inconvenience

 * [@michelleips](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michelleips/) FYI what I did

   the translations update failed issue.

 * Just done some more testing. I’ve been restoring my backup and clearing all caches.
 * I always usually update plugins via the plugin page but I decided to do it as
   a test from the Updates page. It looks like updating plugins from the update 
   page always work. Furthermore, if I update 1 or more plugin from the updates 
   page I can then go ahead and update others from the plugins page without problems.
   That is until I clear the cache and then the problem will come back to the plugins
   page.
   BTW when updating the plugins from the update page the translation updates
   also happen at least for the first 2 (es_ES, zh_CN). The last 1 doesn’t update(
   I am not sure if it is because it is last or it’s just that specific file en_CA).
   All these translation files are for Elementor.
 * [@michelleips](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michelleips/) Can you update
   plugins from the Update page?

 * Okay just tested and the issue also happens with Surecart.
   I actually found an
   interesting thing. **For plugin updates I can get it to work for a while**. I’ve
   been testing this in multiple ways on a staging server.I try to update a plugin
   and it errors out (but still updates). I then without refreshing the plugin page
   try to update another plugin. This plugin will spin forever and not update.But
   at this point if I refresh the page I can then update any plugin without a problem
   until I refresh the cache. This is with NGINX and Redis Full-Page Caching and
   Redis Object Cache. If I refresh the cache then the problem starts happening 
   again.This also remains true across restoring a backup. For example I update 
   a plugin and it errors out, I then without refreshing a page then try to update
   another plugin and it just sits their spinning. I then restore a backup for the
   site and am able to update plugins without problems until I clear the cache and
   then the problem happens again.On my other server with the actual production 
   site that has the problem it uses Varnish cache and Redis Object Cache.
 * I am not saying the caching is the issue as things were working fine before updating
   to WordPress 6.5.2 (which I believe is when the problem started)

 * [@jeremy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeremy/) Herve, I’ve gotten the
   error message for any plugin I have updated with a license or has a secondary
   plugin that requires a license. 
   The plugins I have updated include Elementor
   Pro, TranslatePress, Crocoblock plugins (jetengine, jet tricks, etc…), WS Form
   Pro, and Perfmatters.
 * I also have a Translation from Elementor getting a similar error (I mentioned
   this on page 1 in a later comment). It does not update though. 
   I have another
   site on the server with a some what similar stack and it doesn’t have this problem.
