While the media files have been properly registered in the database via a JSON import and display in the Media Library, the permalinks are returning a 404 error. The URLs correctly point to the Blob Storage. * **Current Issues** * What would be the best approach or recommendation to resolve the following problems? - **W3 Total Cache Error**: I’m seeing the following message in W3TC: _“The unsuccessful transfer queue has unresolved errors. Empty the queue to restore normal operation.”_ * Upon reviewing the Local Path and Remote Path tables, both paths appear incorrect. This is likely because the files were uploaded directly to Blob Storage. - **Local Path**: /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/280830_arccalendar.jpg - **Remote Path**: wp-content/uploads/280830_arccalendar.jpg * **Elementor & W3 Total Cache Setup** * Is the following approach suitable for including Elementor files in the custom file upload list, or would you recommend a different approach to handle Elementor file updates? * One recurring issue is that pages randomly fail to display or render correctly. This seems to be related to caching issues or missing Elementor files that W3TC hasn’t updated. The issue is usually resolved by purging the cache or manually uploading the updated CSS to Blob Storage. * To address this, I’ve added Elementor files to W3TC’s Custom File List, but in some cases, I’ve also had to include full URLs for certain CSS files so that W3TC would recognize the updated versions. * **Custom File List Updates** {wp_content_dir}/uploads/elementor/**/*{wp_content_dir}/ uploads/elementor/css/**/*.*{wp_content_dir}/uploads/elementor/custom/css/**/*.*{ wp_content_dir}/uploads/elementor/css/custom-frontend.min.css {wp_content_dir}/ uploads/elementor/css/custom-pro-widget-nav-menu.min.css {wp_content_dir}/uploads/ elementor/css/custom-pro-frontend.min.css {wp_content_dir}/uploads/elementor/ css/custom-pro-widget-slides.min.css {wp_content_dir}/uploads/elementor/css/custom- widget-icon-list.min.css * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Feeds for YouTube (YouTube video, channel, and gallery plugin)] 404 Fehler](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-fehler/) * [Paul Johnstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/folio1/) * (@folio1) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-fehler/#post-18084757) * Hi There, Any update on this? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[W3 Total Cache] 404 errors when setting Minify to manual](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-errors-when-setting-minify-to-manual/) * Thread Starter [Paul Johnstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/folio1/) * (@folio1) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-errors-when-setting-minify-to-manual/#post-17436274) * Yes, and reviewed the Rewrite Rules (based on active settings) Note, the current WordPress runs on App Service for Linux, with nginx as the web server. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[W3 Total Cache] 404 errors when setting Minify to manual](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-errors-when-setting-minify-to-manual/) * Thread Starter [Paul Johnstone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/folio1/) * (@folio1) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-errors-when-setting-minify-to-manual/#post-17434997) * When the **Rewrite URL structure is turned on the following message is displayed with WP admin** * **W3 Total Cache error: **It appears Minify URL rewriting is not working.

When the minified CSS file is generated what folder is the file placed in by default?And what is the file path so I can confirm the file is in the right location. As I can’t see the file within the current path… /wp-content/cache/minify/d2e6d/default.include.css.id What is this file default.include.css.id ?Note this is the local disk path/wp-content/cache/minify/d2e6d.default.include.3a3807.css The following is the CDN storage path, this should not be displayed as it’s been turned off within settings. General – Host minified CSS and JS files will be hosted with the CDN = off /wpblob7acedbbe85/wp-content/cache/minify/d2e6d.default.include.3a3807.css I'm not concerned about the current message as I can’t locate the file eg status code 404. MIME-type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled. No, I’m not using auto at current, as I do not want all of the CSS & JS to be minified.Turning on - Fix document root path did not fix the problem.

In regards to MariaDB Binary logs (binlog) & position?From my understanding, there is an option to run a SQL Mode MySqldump or PHP Code under packages. And PHP-code options:_Single-Threaded mode attempts to create the entire database script in one request.  Multi-Threaded mode allows the database script to be chunked over multiple requests.  Multi-threaded mode is typically slower but much more reliable especially for larger databases.
