In reply to: [WooCommerce] Pages not auto-created in 3.7.0I’ve used WooCommerce for a number of years on various projects, and never before found the pages not being created on install.
The Setup Wizard is a relatively new thing, and though it was in 3.6, the creation of the pages I’m sure was not deferred to it in that version. I haven’t looked at the changelog, but if it’s not mentioned there I’m sure it’s due to oversight and human error.
On most set-ups I prefer to defer running the Setup Wizard until the client has the necessary information to complete it. But in the meantime I expect full functionality. So…
If you believe this should be changed
I think it should be. I think it’s a mistaken change…

In reply to: [All-in-One WP Migration and Backup] Export file is too bigWith GoDaddy shared hosting uploads are limited to 128Mb, I think by the
FcgidMaxRequestLen directivewhich it’s not possible to override via.htaccess.The import fails silently (upload is stuck at 0.01%) though an error appears in the console log:
Error: error import.min.js:1395:10.It is possible to exclude the
uploadsdirectory (“Do not export media library”) from the export, and manually copy it, but that’s an onerous step. Otherwise it is only possible to import very small sites.Previous versions of the plugin used some kind of chunked uploading so did not suffer this limitation. (The plugin description still says “Bypass all upload size restriction” but this is no longer true.) Why was this feature removed?

In reply to: [Grid/List View for WooCommerce] is not an allowed child ofOh great, so wordpress.org suffers all WordPress’s forever broken handling of HTML tags within text. The title should be “<div> is not an allowed child of “< ul>”.

In reply to: [WordPress Importer] I think all wp dev dead with this errorDead apart from the peope who updated “Tested up to: 4.6.6” who can’t possibly have looked at any debug log files in a couple of years. Or does “Tested up to” simply mean “Yeah, we tested that; it was broken, but who cares, we still tested it.”

Until then, you can access the page directly here:
http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=jetpack_modulesThanks, that direct link is very useful.
The feature should indeed now be automatically activated for you when you first install Jetpack.
I tested again (uninstall and reinstall) and it still isn’t (it becomes deactivated).
At the bottom of the Debug page that loads, click to access the full module list.
I don’t see anything to click to access the full module list. I am using Jetpack in development mode, so the debug page says “It looks like your site cannot communicate properly with Jetpack.” Is it not possible to access the full module list from the Debug page when using Jetpack in development mode? And/or could development mode be the reason the feature isn’t automatically activated?
Thanks. If you could let me know here when the next release is available, I’ll give it another go and probably change the review rating (if it’s possible to do that)…
The WordPress front page is set to the same as the WooCommerce Shop page, so it sounds like it’s the same as the referenced issue.

In reply to: [Shopp] PHP 7 compatibilityWill the next release also include a fix for
storage/core/DBStorage.phpdepending on the MySQL API which is deprecated since PHP 5.5 (and removed in PHP 7) and though only deprecated in PHP 5.5 will likely fail with an access denied error, causing product images to be saved in the cache and returned as empty files?Specifically, the line (57)
$data = @mysql_real_escape_string($data);should be changed to
$data = sDB::get()->api->escape($data);(Not
sDB::escape($data)which will unescape before escaping which is clearly not desired here.)It would have been a hell of a lot easier and less time-consuming to track down this problem had you not suppressed error reporting with

In reply to: [Shopp] Enlarging Images Bug?I tried all 5 options for ‘fit’ to no avail, clearing cached images between each try. Different results are produced, but all with extraneous white borders.
The documentation only ever talks about scaling images down. Whilst I don’t think images should be scaled up—as it causes unnecessary bandwidth and should be the job of the browser/CSS to do this—I do think the code should be able to handle the case where the source image is smaller than the designated target, by producing an image smaller than requested that can be scaled up by the browser/CSS e.g. via a width style attribute.
For now I will stick with modified source code (as above) and take care when upgrading, but would like to know (via a post on this thread) when a fix for the issue is applied.
On a side-note, I think that your image handling is a an order of magnitude better than the WordPress default (it appears to work seamlessly moving a site to a different domain, and has the flexibility of supporting any image size rather than a predefined list of sizes), so I am glad I don’t have that headache.
Pretty much every time I have posted on the support forums, the initial reply has been to suggest I disable all other plugins and themes, without offering any other hint of an explanation.
In all cases, I have already tried that before posting; I would not be posting if I hadn’t. This just extends the turnaround of resolving an issue to the point of unacceptability, such that it is much quicker to resolve the issue by debugging the code myself.
I have posted my findings on the issues I have logged, and I hope you will consider them for bug fixes in future releases.
Problems relating to issue 1 above have been logged before, 2 years ago: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-bug-insert-category-image-not-working-when-link-url-none
I would contend that this is not a WordPress issue per se, as there is no such issue inserting images into standard posts or pages, but perhaps an issue of compatibility between Events Manager and later versions of WordPress.
Regarding issue 2, I did use the standard WP export/import to move a DB, and this was not entirely successful, so I would largely accept that the problems were the fault of the tool. However, there is an option within Events Manager to allow custom fields, and the default is ‘off’, so I wonder if this could have played a part. I have since discovered UpdraftPlus which may be better at migrating entire databases should I need to in future.
Some more frustrations that wasted hours of my time:
1. After changing the WordPress image ‘insert into post’ setting to ‘no link’, adding or changing category images was broken: the dialog would not close properly, and even inserting the URL directly resulted in no image when viewed on the actual site (though it did appear on the admin edit page). Seems I need to click on ‘File URL’ to get the URL for it to work, but that’s far from obvious.
2. Possibly due to WordPress import/export tools, I arrived at a situation where a custom field for a location was broken, and could not be edited or removed in the editor, so I had to create a new location (the same), set all events to this, and delete the original. The field data that caused the problem was:
a:2:{i:0;s:45:”[original_value]”;i:1;s:45:”[original_value]”;}a:2:{i:0;s:45:”[original_value]”;i:1;s:45:”[original_value]”;}
(where [original_value] was the value that was put in). Don’t know what added all the extra crud, but it essentially broke the editor.
