I would have been happy to donate and/or accept a promotional banner inside the plugin’s settings page, but to throw a giant banner right smack on top of the WP Dashboard is far too intrusive than most users and admins are comfortable with.
Hi wfalaa,
That’s perfectly alright, thank you very much for your insight so far! At this point it becomes a theoretical situation that can best be tackled by simply trying it out in practice. If you’re interested I’m happy to keep you appraised of the complications and possible solutions, otherwise feel free to mark the topic as solved. With the rising popularity of GCP I’m sure a bit of foresight into this might come in handy.
Thanks again!
Thank you so much for your information wfalaa 😀
I’m planning on using the ‘Google App Engine for WordPress’ plugin to redirect user uploads to the storage bucket (external storage, essentially, outside of the application directory — https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-app-engine/). The plugin rewrites several WP core functinalities.
As for WF: the .htaccess and user.ini are only written when the plugin and its features are activated, right? So I could theoretically activate the plugin and its features locally and redeploy the entire site to GAE afterwards.
How does WordFence write to the wp-content directory? Is that using the standard WP hooks? Because I’m wondering if the GA4WP plugin will take care of things under the hood, in that case, so I don’t have to mess with the plugin’s code… Relevant: https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/google-app-engine/trunk/modules/core.php?rev=1097831 and https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/google-app-engine/trunk/modules/uploads.php?rev=1097831
Hi wfalaa, I’m going to venture a guess and assume the files WF creates are not stored in the wp-content folder, right? Because there is a plugin that overwrites core WP functions to store user uploads to a GC Storage Bucket, but I’m not sure if I can use its code to adjust WF to write to that location rather than directly to the application directory…?
Hi wfalaa,
I get that, and it certainly is experimental. My question is whether WF writes to files? I’m trying to make this experiment work, you’re in no way obliged to provide support but it’s just something I’m toying with.
Wow… I’m surprised this became an issue. Would’ve expected improvement too. I’m just researching a potential GAE migrating when I encountered this thread.
Remember apps running on GAE can’t really write to the local filesystem, so I don’t reckon the image optimizer plugin will work. Unless it writes to the files in the storage bucket (in case it hooks into the same mechanism this plugin creates for users to to upload media). (On a sidenote: I found the reworked WP Smush much more powerful nowadays than EWWW)
Minifying requires you to edit your theme files. That’s best done on the local machine copy of the website that you run, which you use to redeploy to GAE after theme and plugin installs. (Plugins cannot write to the app files running in GAE from what I understood…)
I would suggest a good text-editor like Notepad++ and install the minifier plugins for CSS, JS and HTML, then just go to town on your theme files. That way you have more manual control, so to avoid an automatic minifier mucking up your theme files.
But I am very curious to the plugin author’s response too…
+1!

In reply to: Possible fix for sudden redirect loop at wp-login with reauth=1@avtar876 seems like your problem has nothing to do with the issue I posted about – rather it might be a congruence of different errors. I’m afraid I can’t help you further apart from the basics: disable all plugins and themes, except the default WP theme, and see if that helps. If it does, try reactivating them step-by-step to isolate the issue.

In reply to: Possible fix for sudden redirect loop at wp-login with reauth=1@avtar876 You’ll have to be a bit more specific than that. Did you follow my suggestion to enable the debugger and check out what pops up? Also, keep your eye on the errors that might pop up in your browser’s Javascript console. Those results should point you in the right direction of what exactly is breaking in your database (if it is the DB at all, which is, in this stadium, for me, a question).

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Placing CF7 form in wp-admin back-endWell I’d first have to figure out how to add a new admin page to WordPress, but I found a nice tutorial for that. Basically I want back-end users to use the form to send pre-set emails to people.
So I would configure a CF7 form with let’s say [name] [email], [A] and [B].
Then the mail functionality would deliver a message to [email] with “Hello [name], I’d like to tell you that your request for [A] has been granted provided you agree with [B]. Please let us know. Thanks!”
Because the admin is logged into the WP back-end anyway to do stuff I thought it’d be nice and accessible to have the reply-forms there as well, rather than having to manually copy-paste a template email and manually change the [merge] fields…
And it’s sufficiently low-scale not to involve anything like MailChimp, but the volume still does warrant some streamlining of the process.My alternative is to put a page behind a password on the front-end, but somehow that seems like a lot more risky that nesting it on the safety and comfort of the wp-admin.
Thank you =) And I’ll definitely take a look at the pro version.
