* So from what you have said, just by someone making a request to a webserver running php, is that the file will be accepted, put into the tmp directory and then processed accordingly ?? * Thanks - This reply was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by [mongobongo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mongobongo/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] connector.minimal.php does not exisit, malicious file still uploaded ….](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connector-minimal-php-does-not-exisit-malicious-file-still-uploaded/) * Thread Starter [mongobongo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mongobongo/) * (@mongobongo) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connector-minimal-php-does-not-exisit-malicious-file-still-uploaded/#post-13512486) * Sorry, thought your URL above was referencing * [https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2020/09/700000-wordpress-users-affected-by-zero-day-vulnerability-in-file-manager-plugin/](https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2020/09/700000-wordpress-users-affected-by-zero-day-vulnerability-in-file-manager-plugin/) * Ive also read the URL * [https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2020/09/attackers-fight-for-control-of-sites-targeted-in-file-manager-vulnerability/](https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2020/09/attackers-fight-for-control-of-sites-targeted-in-file-manager-vulnerability/) * Repeating myself, we do not have plugin installed, anywhere, however you can see from the screenshots I posted above they are targetting connector.minimal. php ……. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] connector.minimal.php does not exisit, malicious file still uploaded ….](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connector-minimal-php-does-not-exisit-malicious-file-still-uploaded/) * Thread Starter [mongobongo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mongobongo/) * (@mongobongo) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/connector-minimal-php-does-not-exisit-malicious-file-still-uploaded/#post-13512424) * Hi! * The blog page you linked me to was the first thing I read before I came to post at the forum. * The blog only speaks about if the plugin is installed on a users server (will have to check if the article has been updated).

When I attempt to select the page to clone from that is in English, the only results that are returned in the divi search results for current pages are those pages that in Greek. * The same occur is I attempt to clone a page in English, only English results will be returned in the search. * As with yourself, dont know what the cause is and sound likes something needs to be ammended in the Polylang plugin with regards to its interaction with DIVI. * Or at least be forthcoming as to where the issue lays, as it may be something to do with what the DIVI developers have done ……… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI] The Text link counter feature not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-text-link-counter-feature-not-working/) * Thread Starter [mongobongo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mongobongo/) * (@mongobongo) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-text-link-counter-feature-not-working/#post-12791315) * Παρακαλώ (your welcome) * 😛 * We own our thanks to * Emily (@cleanup) * 😉 - This reply was modified 6 years, 1 month ago by [mongobongo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mongobongo/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI] The Text link counter feature not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-text-link-counter-feature-not-working/) * Thread Starter [mongobongo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mongobongo/) * (@mongobongo) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-text-link-counter-feature-not-working/#post-12756296) * For the Yoast support folks here ignorance is bliss…… * Thanks ever so much to Emily (@cleanup) * For inadvertently providing the solution, where as the Yoast support staff only want you to buy the premium version. * From her post here * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-seo-was-unable-to-create-the-database-tables-required-and-as-such-will-not/page/3/#post-12754511#](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-seo-was-unable-to-create-the-database-tables-required-and-as-such-will-not/page/3/#post-12754511#)( yes, another issue caused by the developers and solution offered by a volunteer) * The same fix applies also to the ‘text link counter’ issue. * So it seems as the following, on Windows platforms there is an underlying issue with how database prefixes are converted to lower case. * This is the cause of the issue and Emily suggestion is the fix to those of us are are having the ‘text link counter’ issue and have been fobbed off by Yoast‘ support’ * Really hope that this get spidered so that other people can finally get the fix!

So I also tried with the plugin as directed by the page you linked me to. However this made no difference. 2/ Although I did this I did not understand how this issue would be related to‘ Javascript errors’ * Regards having to purchase Yoast premium to resolve this issue thats not going to happen as this ‘feature’ is meant to work ‘as is’. * We will wait for future updates in the hope Yoast will fix this issue. * Thanks for your assistance.
