I re-downloaded the current ZIP archive and placed it in my wp-content/plugins directory, then re-activated the plugin – behaviour is exactly the same, once it is active, it goes in a redirect loop. I compared the previously installed files with the downloaded directory and they are identical, confirming that it’s not an issue of a corrupted plugin download. I therefore assume that it must be something to do with the current configuration of the plugin that’s lurking in our database or some conflict with something else. Either way, the plugin breaks the admin UI with the latest update. The version previously installed was 6.1.2. When I restore the files from before the update, so reverting back to 6.1.2, everything is back in working order again. So there must be some issue with either 6.1.3 or 6.1.4 causing this.
I can confirm now – after switching from my old theme to something more recent, the problem disappeared.
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback, but as I said, this issue is not with MetaSlider at all, as I know now. I actually disabled off all of the plugins, then enabled MetaSlider and nothing but MetaSlider and got the same result. And as I said, the Wordfence backend looks broken too – in this test, I disabled everything but Wordfence. I guess that I’m looking at a redesign here, as with everything else ruled out, only the theme I use remains as the obvious culprit. When I first set up the site for my church some six years ago, I chose a free theme and this hasn’t seen any update activity since, so it’s probably overdue to look for a suitable alternative.
I have downgraded WordPress to the latest 5.2 along with the previous version of Tablepress (the latest version requires 5.3, so this had to be downgraded, too), and I think I need to take some time in the upcoming holidays to prepare switching to a new theme.
Sorry to have bothered you with this thread, I really like MetaSlider and your response times here in this forum are awesome, thank you!
Kind regards
Markus
Yes, after downgrading everything is back to looking shipshape. And no, I didn’t get any 404s in the console. But I believe that there’s something seriously wrong with WordPress 5.3 and MetaSlider is by no means the cause of it, nor is MetaSlider the only Plugin that is affected. Wordfence was looking mighty unstylish, too.
So I guess that this issue can be closed here, I’ll try and dig deeper into WordPress 5.3 in a dev install once I can find the time and avoid the upgrade as long as possible.
There’s just to much sh*t going in with this Gutenberg mess no one ever has asked WordPress Core to build in the first place and it seems like it’s getting worse.
I tried with both cache cleared and in incognito mode. When I glance over other parts of the backend, MetaSlider is not the only one that seems off – so I guess that there’s something fundamentally wrong with WordPress 5.3 and this is not limited to MetaSlider at all. I tried reinstalling WordPress 5.3. There are unfortunately no error messages in the console whatsoever, and CSS is obviously loading to some extent, but some things seem to be missing.

In reply to: [Gutenberg] Stick to the essential!Corrected my rating, thanks for pointing it out.
I have added my 2 cents to the support thread here: https://community.cloudflare.com/t/rocket-loader-update-is-active-in-wp-admin/17900/7

@yndmgo: Thank you, that link pointed me in the right direction; both issues, i.e. 508 and jQuery being undefined in WordFence options are being caused by CloudFlare’s RocketLoader. It seems like the best bet is to turn off RocketLoader completely for the time being, until CloudFlare can adress the issues it currently causes with WordFence.
Kind regards

I second that, I have got the same problem now. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Wordfence to no effect, other pages within the admin do not show that problem. I can only assume that this is a bug in the latest Wordfence version.
What’s more, we’re seeing a lot of Error 508 status messages (Resource limit reached) with some request issued of the pattern “GET /?wordfence_lh=1&hid=…” – these did not occur before May 9th and I have a feeling that this is something not easily fixed by our hoster, so I wanted to disable live traffic view in Wordfence options. Which is impossible at the moment.
This hit us today, too – anyone who reads this: Please wait with plugin update until the author has fixed this bug.
If you already have been hit, you can fix it yourself, edit listing_flagging.php like so:
