I had already worked on it, although the solution isn’t ideal. * FYI – the problem seems to be related to a conflict between your Easy Accordion plugin and a hosting plugin at Siteground hosting called “Siteground Optimizer”. This conflict isn’t present in Firefox, but in all other browsers. It may have something to do with Javascript compression. Have your team look into it when you can. Keep in mind Siteground is a fairly popular host, so you’re likely to have other customers run into this issue eventually. As a temp fix, I disabled the Siteground plugin; this causes some feature loss inside my WordPress dashboard and some speed losses in visitor load times, but it fixes the FAQ opening issue below. * I hope this helps! Thanks again for your response. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] OpenSSL Version verification?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/openssl-version-verification/) * [greigner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greigner/) * (@greigner) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/openssl-version-verification/page/2/#post-10263092) * I hadn’t seen any posts about this specific issue causing Premium WF to downgrade to Free WF without any notice. I understand now why your level of frustration is higher; if that’s what they are doing, there’s definitely a better way they can handle that for their paying customers. * All the same, please update your technology environments as soon as you are possibly able to. You’re not only protecting yourselves, but all of us in the community. This expectation that software from 2010 will work alongside software from 2018 isn’t correct. * The fix for this issue is above, as well as in a few other posts on this forum. If you have any further questions or technical details for those needing more assistance, post below.

You have WF installed to keep you secure– you would be _furious_ if you paid money and it failed to alert you of a major security risk. It’s doing exactly what you paid it to do. Yes, it could have done a better job by making an actionable item (eg. “Update PHP to resolve”, etc.). But the alert is real. * It sounds like you may have on-premise hosting, or at least some private hosting somewhere. I would highly recommend moving to a hosting vendor that can handle all of this for you. You mentioned time and expense. All major hosting vendors will do OS, PHP, and OpenSSL updates for you for free and with no time spent. Side note: hosting with a vendor also happens to be far cheaper in the long term that self-hosting. * Good luck with the updates! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] OpenSSL Version verification?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/openssl-version-verification/) * [greigner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greigner/) * (@greigner) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/openssl-version-verification/page/2/#post-10262194) * [@scottl31](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottl31/): * No, I’m saying that OpenSSL _relies_ upon PHP (they work together). You can’t update just one thing to a brand new version, and still have things function. It’s time to update both things to the same level. * Picture it just like other software. You can’t run the newest version of QuickBooks on Windows Vista. You have to upgrade Windows so that QuickBooks will work. You must upgrade PHP in order for the current version of OpenSSL to work. * – Your host supports the current version of OpenSSL (GOOD) – WordFence supports the current version of OpenSSL (GOOD) – Your PHP software does _not_ support the current version of OpenSSL (BAD – WordFence alerted you to this, although not very clearly) * Time to Update PHP.

Did you update your PHP to version 5.6 or higher? PHP and OpenSSL have some type of reliance on each other, so although your host’s server might support a higher version, your installed language (PHP) may not – it could be where the report is coming from. Installing PHP 5.6, 7, 7.1, or 7.2 should provide WF with the correct data.

Whoever that is should to receive at least minimal alerts in order to know if the site is hacked or otherwise being misused. That’s the point of having WordFence; it blocks the bad guys, or if it can’t block them, it tells you about it so you can keep your site up and working right. * Minimal alerts: to choose your alerts, Go to **WordFence in your main menu**, then **All Options**, **Email Alert Preferences**. Simply uncheck the ones you don’t absolutely need. * I recommend keeping at _least_ 4 boxes checked. _WF deactivation_, _Critical problems_, _Administrator access sign in_, and _Large increase in attacks_. * Good luck! - This reply was modified 8 years, 3 months ago by [greigner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greigner/). - This reply was modified 8 years, 3 months ago by [greigner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greigner/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] OpenSSL Version verification?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/openssl-version-verification/) * [greigner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greigner/) * (@greigner) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/openssl-version-verification/#post-10246733) * I too am having this issue on multiple sites.

I was also having this same issue (timeouts, “job restart due to inactivity…”) starting around July 31st, 2017. I have had warnings since installation, but the job has always completed normally for several years. * Now I have errors and the job hasn’t run since. * > TO FIX: * I never had “WordPress XML export” checked. Only Database, File, and Installed plugins list. However, in my BackWPup **Settings** –> **Jobs** –> **Maximum script execution time**, I had it set to zero. Set that to 20, and test again. Success. No warnings, no errors. * Should this perhaps be a default value of higher than zero during installation? Just a suggestion since this seems to be an extremely common issue, and setting it to 5, 10, or 20 doesn’t seem to negatively impact anything. Even overall runtime is about the same. * Thanks for a good plugin!

These allow you to write small bits of code, and then create your own short code with them.

For anyone else who may be looking: * – create folder inside your theme folder called ‘nggallery’ – find ‘View’ folder inside the galleryview2 plug-in directory. For me, the path was: /wp-content/ plugins/nextgen-galleryview2/view/ – copy the gallery-galleryview.php file from that folder (View) to the folder you created (nggallery) – Now open the gallery- galleryview.php file and edit to hearts content * So far, it seems to include things like slide transition time, size, filmstrip options, etc. Hope that helps.
