In reply to: Cannot create directory (plugin no longer updateable on LOCAL)Thanks Ross for chiming in. I had a breakthru last night by playing around with the PHP versions of my local setup. Upgrading to 7.4.1 solved my issue!

In reply to: Help! WP concatenating the ampersand (&) in my password!Hey @sterndata , I might be able to restore my sites that were using the passwords with ampersand – I’ve gone into Adminer and changed the password to something simple and MD5. Now I need to export the entire database and i’m not sure which options to check…
I’m assuming I need to check all in the Tables column and the Data column?
Then at the top are options for:Output (OPEN / SAVE / GZIP)
Format (SQL / CSV / CSV / TSV)
Database (USE / DROP+CREATE / CREATE) Routines (Y/N) Events (Y/N)
Tables (DROP+CREATE / CREATE) Auto Increment (Y/N) Triggers (Y/N)
Data (INSERT / TRUNCATE+INSERT / INSERT+UPDATE)Are you familiar enough with this to tell me which options to select?

In reply to: Help! WP concatenating the ampersand (&) in my password!Turns out its a known bug. But I didnt know about it…

In reply to: Help! WP concatenating the ampersand (&) in my password!It uses Adminer now. Are you saying create a dummy site, launch Adminer, then import the file containing the problematic credentials to manually change the credentials there? If so, which file would that be? local.wp_users.sql ?

In reply to: Help! WP concatenating the ampersand (&) in my password!Yeah- the help over there has become a bit like a ghost town. When they launched, they were more helpful… since they released Pro, seems like a luxury to get assistance.
But thanks for trying to help… at least we know this is happening at the SQL level.
I tried setting different versions of the SQL (even tried reinstalling the entire Local app) and no improvement.Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Help! WP concatenating the ampersand (&) in my password!Thanks Steven – however does this method not require for the site to already have been imported into the localhost environment? Seems like in my case I would have to change the password BEFORE I attempt to import the site in Local since it is during the import process that it gets tripped up by the credential containing the “&” character.
I think I might need a bit more guidance from you, or to confirm that this method can work for my situation…
this does not work as I am using custom post type taxonomy – i don’t use category_display=”true” as per instructed by the plugin author
Hi – I’m using Divi theme and it has a built-in custom post type called “Project”. I’m trying to use your plugin to display the latest one. While it is showing the title and image properly, it is not displaying the category of this post. The taxonomy used for the categories used by this custom post is “project_category”. What is the shortcode parameter needed to display it?
OK fantastic! By going to the “Categories” page for the Projects post type I saw in the URL that the taxonomy term is called “project_category” so using your formula I was able to make it work! So now it says the title then it says “Posted in:” and the category.
You have great documentation but I was not able to find how to change or remove the autogenerated “Posted in:” text to say something else?

OK I was able to show only the latest post HOWEVER the category_display toggle is not working for custom post types I think, as I cannot get the category to show along with the title and image.
Is this possible? That category_display will only work for the standard post types?
OK I figured it out. I was mistakenly trying to restore a partial archive, therefore was missing the core WP files. SOLVED.
OMG, you just helped me solve an issue that was plaguing all my websites for weeks and nobody had been able to fix this with me!
After dropping your code in my htaccess, I noticed the score improved from 32 to 98. But after you said to remove any other redirect rules, I went into Cloudflare and disabled “Always Use HTTPS” and my score reached a perfect 100. I then decided to remove the code you gave me from my htaccess and the score remained at 100.
Turns out that adding thore rewrites to my htaccess wasn’t necessary after all. I just had to disable the “Always Use HTTPS” feature in Cloudflare.
I guess if I wasn’t using CF, then they might be necessary, but for now they are not so I removed them from the htaccess to keep that file cleaner.
the WP URL is already set to https://www.
do i add your code to line 1 of the htaccess file (just before # BEGIN LSCACHE) ?
Thanks for your response. I’m investigating why GMetrix is giving my sites a F grade for “Avoid landing page redirects” and I’m hoping there is something I can adjust in LiteSpeed Cache to fix this issue?
GTMetrix is basically saying
Avoid landing page redirects for the following chain of redirected URLs.http://mydomain.com/

In reply to: Fixing curl timeout WordPress 4.9.1Does this mean that I can drop the code your provided here into my child theme’s functions.php and that should take care of the cURL Timeout issue encountered with this website?
Also, I’m not sure what you meant by ” (or just remove that line and the closing brace line completely).” Can you please provide what that syntax would be in its simplest form?
