I don’t have an ETA for the fixes to the warnings you’ve mentioned but they are part of our recent efforts to update the plugin. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[GoSquared] How to fix tracking if you have recently upgraded](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-fix-tracking-if-you-have-recently-upgraded/) * Plugin Author [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-fix-tracking-if-you-have-recently-upgraded/#post-7226355) * Thanks for posting this information! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[GoSquared] Using Gosquared 'People'](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-gosquared-people/) * Plugin Author [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-gosquared-people/#post-7212714) * Hi Greg – I was unaware of the new service but I do know about the secure mode. I’ll look into that for you! * Also I’m not sure why but I didn’t get an email notification about your reply.. Sorry about that! I’ll keep a closer eye here 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[GoSquared] Using Gosquared 'People'](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-gosquared-people/) * Plugin Author [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-gosquared-people/#post-7212663) * Hi Greg! * I’m glad you have found the plugin useful! To be honest I needed it to test on a site and didn’t want to deal with Segment.io so I threw it together in a quick hour or two. * So – People when enabled will send the People data to GoSquared when a user is logged in. I’ve noticed GoSquared isn’t always instant in tracking and showing data, especially People. So if a user is logged in, and if they view a page on the frontend of the site, it should include the JS that includes their user data. If the user signs up but never logs in, it wouldn’t track them unfortunately. * In the screenshot you sent, I believe People has to be enabled on the GoSquared side. I’m not sure if it auto enables itself if it sees the data coming through? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WooCommerce] Woocommerce Admin end incredibly slow almost unusable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-admin-end-incredibly-slow-almost-unusable-1/) * [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-admin-end-incredibly-slow-almost-unusable-1/page/2/#post-6997033) * Can you elaborate on what she claimed was the “database issue” that slowed your site so much? Unless something was setup wrong to begin with, usually I’ve not seen quick fixes for obscenely slow admins. For example, the gist below is what I had to use to speed up the site because comments and order counts loading on every page load were taking 6+ seconds on multiple queries. * [https://gist.github.com/pmgarman/d64c768754dbc0ff5f49](https://gist.github.com/pmgarman/d64c768754dbc0ff5f49) * With this code I went from ~10-20s load times depending on the page to typically under 1s load times on a database that is somewhere between 35-50GB depending on the size of the sessions table (yes, the sessions table has reached over 15GB in size). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Pagespeed Question](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pagespeed-question/) * [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pagespeed-question/#post-6087391) * Google’s pagespeed tool shows your right under the score what errors it had that determined the score… looks like JS and images are your biggest painpoints. Check for overly large images and too much JS in your and see if that helps your score. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Need help geting my creation email.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-geting-my-creation-email/) * [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-geting-my-creation-email/#post-6090347) * Have you tried using the “forgot password” option when attempting to login to WordPress? You can have a password reset link emailed to you. * If you still remember your password to your hosting panel, you can also try looking directly into the database in the users table and see what email is listed there. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to noc1.wordfence.com:443](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unknown-ssl-protocol-error-in-connection-to-noc1wordfencecom443/) * [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unknown-ssl-protocol-error-in-connection-to-noc1wordfencecom443/#post-6090894) * This sounds like an issue with WordFence’s severs and not your site, an “unknown ssl protocol” does not sound like a local issue and rather you may want to contact WordFence directly regarding this issue. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can't delete my custom post after using save-post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-my-custom-post-after-using-save-post/) * [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-my-custom-post-after-using-save-post/#post-6090893) * Every time you are saving the post (pretty sure trashing also is “saving”) you are updating the post and setting the post status to publish. You could probably just remove the post status line from your update arguments, or if you need that then you need to add some conditionals around it. * I bet if you just tried to draft a post it would do the same thing. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [permission error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permission-error-9/) * [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permission-error-9/#post-6091377) * Try re-saving your permalinks and see if it is working then. * Forum: [Hacks](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/hacks/) In reply to: [Using i0.wp.com theme screenshots from plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-i0wpcom-theme-screenshots-from-plugin/) * [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-i0wpcom-theme-screenshots-from-plugin/#post-6064479) * I’m not sure if that would be permitted or not. I would suggest maybe emailing [plugins@wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/replies/plugins@wordpress.org?output_format=md) and give them the same explanation and see what the plugin review team’s thoughts are? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [I found in my header.php this code /wp-includes/pomo/txa201501.php](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-found-in-my-headerphp-this-code-wp-includespomotxa201501php/) * [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-found-in-my-headerphp-this-code-wp-includespomotxa201501php/#post-6064453) * You should probably change it yes – you should be able to do that through your web hosting control panel. If you have issues doing that, contact your web host who should be able to help you. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Cannot allocate memory: couldn't create child process](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-allocate-memory-couldnt-create-child-process/) * [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-allocate-memory-couldnt-create-child-process/#post-6060555) * There shouldn’t be, unless you are using XML-RPC to publish posts on your site you may be better off simply deactivating it. The reason it is appearing in your error log may be due to malicious attempts of accessing your site. You can disable XML-RPC by installing and activating the plugin below. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-xml-rpc/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-xml-rpc/) * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Error establishing a database connection](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-establishing-a-database-connection-671/) * [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-establishing-a-database-connection-671/#post-6055067) * mysql may not be configured to listen on the IP/URL you entered into your setup screen, is this a new server/hosting setup, or do you have other sites here you could copy the wp-config.php file from and modify with your database name and credentials? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Cannot allocate memory: couldn't create child process](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-allocate-memory-couldnt-create-child-process/) * [Patrick Garman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrickgarman/) * (@patrickgarman) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-allocate-memory-couldnt-create-child-process/#post-6060544) * This looks like WordPress is running out of memory on the web server.
