Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Cant make pages or postsI have the same problem, and it is not isolated to specific installation or plugins, because it happens on all 3 of my sites. The problem started with upgrade to 4.6 and I posted about it in the forum, but it got deleted.
I only upgraded my least important site to 4.6 and because it made it unusable, I did not go with the upgrade on my more important sites. I waited for the next update, thinking this owuld be fixed, but it wasn’t, and now even my main site is unusable.
Basically, since 4.6, there are two problems:
1 – some form of over caching causes newly made posts/pages not appear, unless a CTRL refresh is done to the page.
2 – creating new posts becomes impossible, because of some kind of conflict with post numbering in the database, so a guy goes to create a new page, but data from the latest existing post is loaded up, so if this new post is saved, it will overwrite the existing post. Whereas each attempt to create a new post loads up an ID of an existing post, one can’t create a new post without destroying the old one, so the options are either to not make new posts, or sacrifice the latest one for a new one as its replacement.

Computer restart and clearing off browser cache did nothing with the issue. I’m basically no longer able to publish any posts.

In reply to: [Comet Cache] Does Nothing?Thanks for your responses man. I appreciate every developer who puts time and effort toward making plugins. This one simply did not work out for me. I spent too much time trying to make use of it, but could not. If a plugin takes so much time to get going, and it doesn’t even go after that, it’s just not worth the hassle anymore.
I’m saddened by W3 developer abandoning his plugin, which I used for many years, but obviously it’s time to go, especially since W3 still uses PHP rules that are no longer supported in PHP7. But with other caching plugins available, spending excessive amount of time trying to tinker one that just wouldn’t work doesn’t make sense. I got rid of it and moved on to a different one.

In reply to: [Comet Cache] Does Nothing?I guess my issue was Cloudflare stripping notes from HTML, then (I did have those blank lines at the bottom). But that changes nothing on the fact that the difference between running with just Nginx and no caching plugin, and Nginx with Comet Cache is non existent. I run a very busy website with a lot of use activity on a dedicated server. When run without any caching plugin, my server load is in the neighborhood of 12. Activating W3TC keeps it around 1. Fastest Cache keeps it around 8. But Comet Cache around 12 – the same as with no caching plugin at all.

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] Blog readers complaining that they can't see latest postsYeah man, W3 is officially abandonware. It has not been updated in several months, and no support is provided. It has serious bugs, and returns error messages in PHP7. I had the same problem you are having and worse – forcing an old cached version of the page on logged in users, ignoring properly set cookie, making it look as if the user was not logged in, preventing them from leaving comments. I had to get rid of W3 because of it. Unfortunately, no other caching plugin seems to deliver comparable performance – nowhere near. But I run a very busy site with a lot of user activity, so these issues W3 was causing I could not overlook. Now I don’t have these issues, but my server load is significantly higher.
Does it still work by way of a cookie that is set on a person’s computer so if one uses several accounts, if they log out of one and log in to another, they will see the links to edit comments made by the first account? Similarly, if one logs out of their account on a desktop and logs in on a smartphone within time allocated for editing, would edit link not be available anymore?
Hello Jason,
thanks for your response. You mentioned plugins recommended on the settings screen, but the screenshot of your options page doesn’t show any such recommendations. What am I missing?

In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Can It Be Used with My Own Comment Styling?That’s pretty cool. What would I need to do to retain 2016 round avatars, and decrease spacing between borders so more space is available for comments, and less for unused empty space (about 20 pixels on the left, and probably only about 3 pixels or so on the right)? Otherwise 5th level comments would be reduced to just a narrow column of text.

In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Can It Be Used with My Own Comment Styling?If you could provide an option to have child comments encapsulated within a parent comment by way of a thin border, that may be an easier option to implement, and would go a long way to making comments easier to follow on busy sites. I will likely become a paying customer when such option becomes available.
Changing those settings did not help. I’ll need to get someone to look at the log files, as I’m not a server tech and don’t know what I’m doing.

In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Can It Be Used with My Own Comment Styling?First of all, let me say again that you got a very nice plugin, and I applaud you to creating this awesomeness. I don’t have the best communication skills, so I probably come across incorrectly, but this has not changed. I think this is a fantastic plugin and I can’t say anything other than all good things about the coders who made it. Furthermore, your dedicated and speedy responses to concerns raised here are remarkable – it speaks volumes about your company, and certainly reassures interested parties that should such need for support arise, you got them covered.
What I like about your plugin is the ability to allow members to edit their comments, the ability for the admin to set the time limit for editing of comments, and the ability to vote comments up or down, and to sort them by most upvoted. This is what makes me want to use your plugin. Things like social links or subscription options I would not use.
But what I would like to see is the ability to use the plugin with website’s native styling. Right now you are basically forcing your own styling on the user.
Additional possible new features to consider (though lack of those is not a deal breaker for me, but would be most welcome), is the ability to only have an upvote button, and no downvote, and a widget that would allow to display either the most upvoted comments of all time, or the most upvoted comments during a time period specified by the admin (such as during the last 24 hours, to show yesterday’s most popular comment).
Also, the possibility to convert video links from YouTube, LiveLeak, Vimeo, etc into iframe embeds in the comments would be fantastic.
Your remarkable dedication to answer all questions on these forums make me want to buy some of your pro plugins 🙂

In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Can It Be Used with My Own Comment Styling?Your plugin comes with many nice features, but your styling is not usable for an active site. I can see it working well on a site that gets 2 to 3 comments per post, but if each of your posts gets hundreds of comments, with dozens of child comments that have dozens of child comments each, and each of those child comments has child comments, etc – then members wouldn’t be able to follow the structure easily, would get lost in the messy pile of comments, wouldn’t know anymore which comment they are replying to and would get frustrated beyond words.

In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Can It Be Used with My Own Comment Styling?So in other words, I can only change colors and backgrounds, but I will lose my styling of comments because it would be overridden by your plugin’s styling, correct?
If that’s the case, this basically closes the door to the plugin for me, so I would just make a suggestion to perhaps consider in one of your future releases to allow an option to inherit current theme’s styling.

In reply to: [Comments - wpDiscuz] Can It Be Used with My Own Comment Styling?My comments look a certain way on my website, because of my own styling of comments. My question is, which I keep asking over and over, if I activated your plugin, would it ignore my custom styling and force its own styling on comment section, or would it honor the native styling? I don’t how else to ask this anymore? Will your plugin override my styling with plugin’s styling for the comment section?
I’ve enabled Enable when web host requires “Mail From” strictly tied to site. I’ll see if there is any change.
What do I look for in the log files?
