Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WEIRD dropdown menu problemYou are correct in that. But the site owners tell me that they have had no answer from the developer regarding any of the mobile compatibility problems. I’ve fixed the ones I could but this one left me baffled. Other things are broken as well…
We will make another attempt to get some support from the developer but I’m not optimistic at this point. That’s why I posed the question here, in case anyone might have seen a similar problem and had any ideas for solving it.

In reply to: Visual editor missingTHANK YOU, JAMES!! That fixed this exact problem on two of my sites. I’d only just noticed it while checking out the Media Library problems on one site last night. Then I checked the other site and Visual mode didn’t work there, either. Applied your fix and Presto! Visual mode is working again on both sites.

In reply to: No images visible on Media Library pageI installed the Media Library Assistant and I can see all the images withing the plugin. I’ve categorized the for easy reference. They DO appear in posts and pages, just not in the media library screen. The only thing there (on Media Library page) is the Add New button.
That must have been it. A lot of hits are blocked for trying to access non-existent pages; when I saw a lot of them from the same IP flagged as Warning, I got concerned about whether they really were Facebook. Thanks for the info!
According to whois, these IPs belong to Facebook. But what bothers me is that some of them are flagged as Warning, while the rest are flagged as “bot”.
Question: If you have code in .htaccess which effectively blocks hits/attacks on xmlrpc.php, will those attempted-attack hits still show (as blocked, presumably) on the Live Traffic screen?
Thanks for the tips. It turned out that the problem was insufficient memory.
It failed the WordPress memory test on the Diagnostics page. So I clicked the first link under Other Tests and saw that the memory_limit variable was set to 32MB in php.ini. I contacted the host and asked them to raise it to 128MB. that fixed the problem.For what it’s worth, you can get that PHP info for any website for which you have FTP access. Just create a tiny file using NotePad or any other text editor (NEVER use a word processor for this!) named phpinfo.php and put this one line of code into it:
<?php echo phpinfo(); ?>
Save the file and upload it to the ‘www’ or ‘public_html’ folder. Then you can type put this url:
http://www.example.com/phpinfo.php
into your browser’s address bar (change “example.com” to the actual domain name. It’s handy for troubleshooting all types of sites, not just those with WordPress and WordFence.
Hope this helps!
I have WordFence on two of my websites. One is strictly WordPress (installed in /public_html.) The other site has WordPress installed in the /public_html/blog folder.
On the first site (www.uniquebeadedearrings.com), WordFence stopped completing its scans. it would “stick” at this point: ‘Fetching core, theme and plugin file signatures from WrodFence’. I switched off a few options, restarted the scan and have had zero problems since.
On the second site – http://www.webthemedesigner.com/blog – (which is on the same server!) the scan “sticks” at the same place and has never completed even once. I’ve done the same as above as well as everything that was suggested on the support page – to no avail.
Any suggestions are welcome.

In reply to: update warningWill updating the Twenty-Thirteen theme change the banner image, etc. that I have uploaded and set? I know there’s an update available but I don’t want anything I’ve customized to change!

In reply to: CANNOT switch to Text mode in page EditorIt was estore-shortcode-inserter-ui. The developer who trouble shot the problem with activating the plugin said that – odd as it sounds – my server “didn’t like” the word ‘inserter’ in the folder name. After changing the folder name to estore/shortcode-ui/, I was able to activate it. Then the random weirdness began…

In reply to: CANNOT switch to Text mode in page EditorNo, not today. I updated WordPress to v 4.0 a few days ago. I had a problem with a WP eStore plugin and was advised that my older version of WP was the problem. Updating WP didn’t cure the problem. They logged in and made a few changes to the plugin code and fixed the problem (of not being able to Activate that plugin.)
No changes to the theme since I started the site last year.
BUT – I just checked and it’s working normally again. I didn’t do anything to it; it just started letting me switch to Text mode in the editor again. No idea why…I had cleared caches, shut down and restarted browsers, logged out of and back into WP, etc. Nothing changed. Then I tried once more an hour ago and it was OK again. ???

In reply to: [CJ-Datafeed] [Plugin: CJ-Datafeed] CJ DATA FEEDS CLICKSThat’s what I thought but it has not worked. When I go to Posts after uploading a feed file and specifying an exact category name…then select that category from the dropdown list and click Filter, no posts are found.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [CJ-Datafeed] [Plugin: CJ-Datafeed] CJ DATA FEEDS CLICKSI have another concern about the CJ feeds. WordPress has “tags” and “categories” The are often used somewhat interchangeably but they are clearly different things. When processing a datafeed, it would save a huge amount of time and effort later if you could somehow specify an existing category for all the items in that feed.
So far, nothing I’ve tried had been able to do this. After a feed from a vendor selling clothing, for instance, none of the new posts can be found in admin by using “Clothing” ad a category filter. Also, in the tag cloud and in the navigation for the site, clicking “Clothing” pulls up no posts except for ones that were either entered individually or edited to be included in the “Clothing” category.
This results in the site appearing to have no (or very few) products in the clothing category – very frustrating for users!
Any suggestions would be welcome.

In reply to: [CJ-Datafeed] [Plugin: CJ-Datafeed] CJ DATA FEEDS CLICKSYou’re welcome. I think I can re-purpose some of the code in bigdump.php to make thew script handle more than 200 lines. I’ll let you know when I get it done. That should probably qualify as version 1.1!
