In reply to: [EWWW Image Optimizer] New version 2.5.5 causes Internal Server error 500Yeah, thanks, but sorry I can’t afford for a plugin to take down an entire website – actually a whole network of websites. I went back to WP Smush Pro. I only switched to yours because it claimed to work with a CDN better than Smush.

In reply to: [EWWW Image Optimizer] New version 2.5.5 causes Internal Server error 500Yes, I got the same problem and it caused me hours of work to isolate this. 100% causing the issue. I restored my site to a backup I took two hours before the Internal Server error 500 started. I had installed a couple of new plugins and upgraded EWWW Image Optimizer after that backup was taken. After restoring, I retraced my steps, performing one change at a time and backing up prior to each change. The very last thing I did was upgrade the EWWW plugin, and as soon as I did, the error returned.
I was able to reproduce the error twice in a row.
FYI – this is happening with a Multisite Installation. Haven’t tried any single site installations yet.
Yes, same here. I use WooRank and last week I checked “Force ReWrite” to stop duplicate title tags from being created in the HTML Header. That worked fine and the problem was fixed.
Then WordPress was upgraded to 4.4 and now I’m getting duplicate title tags again, and the Force Rewrite Titles checkbox is gone.
The site where the duplicate
<title>tags are appearing uses the Divi theme version 2.5.9 and WP 4.4. The “Force Rewrite” checkbox is missing.Another production news site uses WPZOOM’s Doomino theme and has WP 4.4 installed. Although this site doesn’t have a duplicate
<title>tag, the “Force Rewrite” checkbox is also missing.I just fixed the duplicate title tag problem for a client this past weekend and it’s still fine. WP has not been upgraded yet and Force Rewrite Titles is still visible.

In reply to: [WP RSS Multi Importer] WARNING! RSS Multi Importer may delete all content!In response to jeangalea – I understand your point, but from the perspective of a professional software developer, this is a very serious bug that can have catastrophic consequences for real businesses. You can’t deliver an update of this magnitude, with an entirely new processing and logic flow to production without extensive testing. And the fact that it is used by so many sites – Downloads: 328,743 – this is just about as serious as a bug can be. Imagine if an accounting program released an update that deleted data from your accounting database. Updates to all software programs are voluntary, for the most part. The vendor is not responsible – according to the EULA – for any loss of data, loss of business, etc. But… they also know that none of that matters to the end users who would quickly find a new accounting program and effectively “vote” them out of existence. No, this is a major screw-up and should never have happened. The developer needs to test, test, and test again, especially where databases and data modifications are concerned. Because even though it is the user’s responsibility to back up their data, not everyone does it, and many people (myself included) falsely believe their Hosting provider is doing backups as part of their own disaster recovery plan. That may be true… but that doesn’t mean they will retrieve any missing or damaged database file for you.

In reply to: [WP RSS Multi Importer] WARNING! RSS Multi Importer may delete all content!Yes, as soon as I upgraded to Version 3 it deleted all of my content – I had 24 pages and 43 posts and it left me with 7 pages and 0 posts. The first time this happened I had no idea what was going on. Thankfully I had a backup of the database. I restored the database and found out a couple of days later it happened again. I restored again, and started checking every hour to see if it would happen again. Yesterday morning and again this morning I woke up to the same thing – 7 pages and 0 posts. I disabled the plugin, knowing that it had to be this plugin. It was the only plugin that I have that deletes content from the database by design, and this started happening right after I upgraded to the new version 3.x which stores RSS feeds in the database in the same table as other content. From a design standpoint, this is a terrible architecture. You should have added your own table to the database and leave the rest of the content alone. My guess is you have some malformed SQL DELETE statement that is removing more content than it should. Too bad – this plugin worked perfectly before you changed it. Now I have removed it from all sites and will find another RSS aggregator.
