You’re a bit late, since I asked the question 6 months ago. I’ve long since moved on to something else.
Since the plugin creator hasn’t responded to my 4-month-old query, I suspect they’re either gone or not interested. I’d advise finding something else. I’ve decided to just use the forms that come with Jetpack, as much as I dislike that massive rabbit hole of a tool.
Everything about these two sites is identical as far as I can tell, which is why the different behavior is confusing.
I understand nothing is actually broken, but since I created this theme, I want to understand what’s happening. Two supposedly identical installs should behave identically.
Both are in wp-content/themes/[theme-name]
Installing the working theme on the other site causes it to fail in the same way.
Both sites are on my hosting block using identical PHP settings.
I got an email with a reply that isn’t visible here for some reason.
WordPress reads the theme’s main stylesheet header specifically the Theme Name, Description, Author, and other meta fields and uses that information to generate the “friendly labels” you see above certain files . . . So the reason one of your themes displays descriptions and the other does not is simply that their style.css headers aren’t equally detailed. Adding a fuller header especially including a Description—to the theme that only shows plain filenames will make WordPress display the files in the same labeled format
In both themes, style.css contains identical sets of information, different only in the theme names and descriptions.
This is the one that works

Am I going to have to clean up the database and all the pages manually? What other mess do I need to clean up?
so, to be clear, I can’t accept payments at all using the free version?

In reply to: my custom theme stopped writing revisions—where do I look?Two plugins: classic editor and classic widgets. I’ve been using them both since Gutenberg was added. I don’t see them doing this.
I have not ever even once changed core code, so there is zero chance that WP_POST_REVISIONS has been altered wherever it originally lives.
wp-config is a couple dozen lines long. this variable is not set elsewhere in this file.
here’s what all these answers aren’t taking into account: something changed IN MY THEME over the past couple months to cause this. I’m using the default WP core for every install. unless something in a theme conflicts with something NEW in the WP core files, it’s not going to be in the core files.
apparently it’s time to diff the two theme folders and see what shifted from September till now.

In reply to: my custom theme stopped writing revisions—where do I look?well, wp_save_post_revision() is in wp-includes/revision.php but I wouldn’t have a clue how to troubleshoot it.

In reply to: my custom theme stopped writing revisions—where do I look?That’s WordPress core stuff. I’m working with a theme, not a whole new core.
Whatever changed would be a minor tweak to a theme, not to the WordPress core which I never ever touch for any reason.

In reply to: [Quotes llama] using do_shortcode in page doesn’t add quoteI was not using echo. Not sure why that information wasn’t in my brain even after decades of using WordPress. Thanks.

In reply to: Exclude files by filename only on core checksum verificationThe issues page is for reporting suspected bugs. This is simply a support query, which the wp-cli team asks be posted here and tagged wp-cli, as I have done.
the html block.
which causes me to realize, the default is probably to center the text, and I can override that with inline css.and, I just did. I’m so used to these drag and drop tools taking away my access to code that I forgot to even try.
thanks for nudging me toward the answer.

In reply to: Exclude files by filename only on core checksum verificationNot talking about something in an error log. Talking about a new feature in wp cli 2.12.0
New wp cli core checksum verification feature in wp cli, the ability to exclude files. But it appears they must be explicitly listed by full path. Trying to avoid that since I have dozens of these files throughout the installations I manage.
