Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Updating PHP version on Website with WordPressJust a quick update…. problem was eventually resolved by someone at GoDaddy, very easily …. they just needed to change a line in a particular WP file. The first support person I spoke with (through chat feature) I think just wanted to sell me an extra support package!
Thanks to all who responded.

In reply to: Updating PHP version on Website with WordPressOK, thanks for the link, will skip trying to add images for the moment as a little complicated for me…. first time I’ve used this forum today.
I just tried something. I have another domain I bought some time ago, but done nothing with it. So, I tried to add WP latest version, and got an error (I’ve typed below);
“The selected version 6.8.3 is not compatible with the selected install location.
Requirement Required Value(s) Value Detected
PHP 7.2.24 to 8.4.99 5.6.40″
Yet there is nowhere within my GoDaddy hosting account that even shows the version as 5.6.40 …. the only place where it shows a PHP version is currently set to 8.4.
I get the feeling this is a GoDaddy problem ….. but they are totally unwilling to help:(
Time to try a new provider I think.

In reply to: Updating PHP version on Website with WordPressHmmm, sorry, I tried to copy in screen dumps from WP and GoDaddy, but they are not displaying above.

In reply to: Updating PHP version on Website with WordPressMany thanks for your replies.
Below is a screen dump from WordPress for the site;
Below is from GoDaddy for the hosting;
I chose the latest in GoDaddy, but does nothing for the version seen by WP… there are other older versions in GoDaddy I could have chosen;
If I go to cPanel, there is a ‘Select PHP version’ button, but that only tells me the current version of 8.4, which is not what is showing in WP;

In reply to: Updating PHP version on Website with WordPressNB… within the ‘Manage Hosting’ section in my GoDaddy account, the PHP version is 8.4 ….but it seems to be the myPHPAdmin that’s the issue …. sorry, not an expert on this, but in simple terms, the PHP for my hosting account seems to be fine, but it’s the PHP that makes the WP site work that’s the issue …. version 5.6.40

In reply to: Updating PHP version on Website with WordPressHi, current WP version for my site is 6.2.8
Trouble is, whilst my hosting plan with GoDaddy is a Deluxe plan, it is apparently a shared hosting service, so nothing they can do from their end.
Many thanks for your help

In reply to: [Front End PM] Pass username via variable into the 'To' boxIgnore me… all sorted!
I kept my link exactly the same as my original, but changed this part…
messaging/?fepaction=newmessage&to=$profile_nickname
… where $profile_nickname is my variable with the nickname of the profile being viewed.
Strange thing is, I tried this before but for some reason it didn’t work… so must have entered a typo error:(
Anyway, all sorted, many thanks
Cheers

In reply to: [Front End PM] Pass username via variable into the 'To' boxHi Shamim,
Thanks for your reply…. I’m sure it works but my PHP is not that great I’m afraid.I have a [send message] link that will appear on a users profile page following a user search and subsequent clicking on the link to the user profile.
I’m using a plugin called [insert_php] which allows me to write PHP code directly onto any page…. my whole user search facility is built this way.
So, on the user page I currently have….
[insert_php]
Some PHP code to get the nickname from the wordpress database of the user profile being viewed and to check that the profile being viewed is not their own profile
if($profile_id != $user_ID)
{
echo “Send user a message“;
}A bit more php code
[/insert_php]
So, that’s what I’m currently doing, which is fine, and then on the [messaging/?fepaction=newmessage] page I simply use $_GET to retrieve the profile nickname which is then displayed in a statement telling the user to copy/paste it into the ‘To’ box.
Reading the threads in the links you sent me, I’m guessing I need to replace my link above with….
Unfortunately my PHP is a little amateurish. I tried cutting and pasting and altering the parenthesis… but I can’t get it to work without errors. Please can you let me know how I get that into my [IF] statement above?
ALSO, do I need to change the word [USER] to my variable that contains the user nickname [$profile_nickname] or is that some magical word that does it all for me:)?? Sorry if these questions are obvious.
Many thanks for your help

In reply to: [Buddypress conditional profile field] Doesn't work, unfortunatelyHi Rene / Datenfresser123, Just wondered if either of you found the solution yet? I really would like to use this plugin also but have the same problem.
