Well iThemes? What do you have to say for yourselves?
@pronl Correct, the email is the result of a manual backup. It’s a tad annoying. If I wanted an email, I’d set it to either “email” or “email and local”.
@mte90 Thank you for that. I tried it earlier when it was first posted, but I’ll try it again when I get a chance, maybe I did it incorrectly the first time.
@consultant1027 I’m also getting database backup emails when I have backups set to “local only”. That’s on top of the aforementioned hide-backend 500 error.
@hitec4ever Thanks for the extra info. What you suggested is what I did after reading your first post, but it didn’t work.
Turns out it wasn’t just sites on WordPress 4.8 that had the 500 error. I was actually able to fix it by just clearing the cookies in my browser (I usually just clear the cache). I don’t know why that worked, but it did.
More details that I should have added to begin with:
– This only effects sites that have recently been upgraded to WordPress 4.8. It doesn’t happen to any other sites.
– The 500 error happens in Chrome and IE, but not in Chrome Incognito or Firefox.
– Each time I reload Chrome while the 500 Error is displayed, large “core” dump files are created in my root directory. They are large enough to fill my allocated hosting.I just want to add that while I get the 500 Error Chrome, I don’t get the error when running under incognito view.
I’m having the same issue, but unfortunately the steps noted by @hitec4ever don’t work for me. Maybe I’m missing something.
– Is iThemes supposed to be active or inactive when you change the directory name?
– Am I supposed to be changing “better-wp-security”, or do you want me to change the actual “plugins” folder?
– Is the Hide Backend feature supposed to be enabled or disabled before trying any of this?
