I’ll try to figure out what the problem is.

Today is a happy day for me. After a whole lot of ordeal, the plugin is back up and running, and ready for download. Any feedback from you regarding its performance would be incredibly valuable. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[RootsPersona] Rootspersona issue problem fixed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rootspersona-issue-problem-fixed/) * Plugin Author [urryes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urryes/) * (@urryes) * [4 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rootspersona-issue-problem-fixed/page/2/#post-18879013) * The plugin is back on track again — this time, the WordPress team recommended continuing development of the existing plugin instead of creating a new branch. Today, I sent them a new version for review, and I hope everything goes well. If and when that happens, I’ll post about it here on the forum. - This reply was modified 4 months, 1 week ago by [urryes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urryes/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[RootsPersona] Rootspersona issue problem fixed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rootspersona-issue-problem-fixed/) * Plugin Author [urryes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urryes/) * (@urryes) * [5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rootspersona-issue-problem-fixed/page/2/#post-18858507) * Some comments about the plugin: 1. gwledford (@gwledford) – yes, you’re right, there were such issues, but they’ve been fixed in the new version: [https://urryes.ru/wp-content/uploads/2026/rootspersons.zip](https://urryes.ru/wp-content/uploads/2026/rootspersons.zip) 2. The activation issue also exists in Ed Beckey’s original version (7.5.5) – a fatal error during activation.3. Due to WordPress rules, I had to rename the original plugin (to RootsPersons – to clarify its origin) and submit a request to list it as a new plugin (naturally, I indicate in the comments that this is a fork of the original plugin). There’s no other way, since the original plugin, according to the same WordPress rules, is permanently closed. The listing will most likely not take place, as multiple compatibility issues were discovered after the submission.4. The new plugin fixes a large number of bugs, adds new features, and maintains compatibility with the original Rootspersona plugin as much as possible. I tested it on the [https://playground.wordpress.net/](https://playground.wordpress.net/) platform (anyone can do this – it’s very simple) and on my own sites. I haven’t encountered any serious issues. How to use the new plugin:a) Install the new plugin on your site from the zip archive.b) Deactivate the old plugin without deleting it.c) Activate the new plugin.d) Use it as you would the old one.Note: Other steps are possible, but these are the safest.I’d like to get feedback from all testers. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[RootsPersona] Rootspersona issue problem fixed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rootspersona-issue-problem-fixed/) * Plugin Author [urryes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urryes/) * (@urryes) * [5 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rootspersona-issue-problem-fixed/#post-18850507) * I tried to get the plugin back into action, but it didn’t work. The guys on the WordPress team advised me to recreate the plugin. So, there’s nothing I can do; I’ll have to do it. Here’s the conversation: * “Hello, We have reviewed your request for plugin review, however will not be able to take action to re-enable to plugin just yet.You need to contact the plugins team using a contact address that is actually on file for the plugin.Your email address is not listed as the plugin owner, and a similar email is listed as a contributor only.The transfer of a plugin which was abandoned will not be re- enabled since so much time has passed.

I’ve already written this before, and I’ll say it again: please send me the PHP version on your hosting and a screenshot with as detailed a description of the error as possible.

I’ve already spent days fixing the plugin’s bugs (both discovered through use and using the WordPress Plugin Check (PCP) plugin). The test is currently showing no errors. I’ve tested the plugin on a couple of sites, but further testing wouldn’t hurt. Please download and test the new version from my website: [https://urryes.ru/wp-content/uploads/2026/rootspersona-3.9.zip](https://urryes.ru/wp-content/uploads/2026/rootspersona-3.9.zip) Or from SVN: [https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/rootspersona/tags/3.9/](https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/rootspersona/tags/3.9/). The previous version I sent to the WordPress team for review was apparently rejected, but I’m not entirely sure, as I haven’t received any response. I’ll try resubmitting the new version. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[RootsPersona] Rootspersona issue problem fixed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rootspersona-issue-problem-fixed/) * Plugin Author [urryes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urryes/) * (@urryes) * [6 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rootspersona-issue-problem-fixed/#post-18800354) * [gwledford](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gwledford/) (@gwledford) sent me please php version, error screenshot.

Yes, I still want it. Your plugin is, in my opinion, the best for WordPress. It’s a shame you don’t have time for it. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[RootsPersona] Rootspersona issue problem fixed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rootspersona-issue-problem-fixed/) * Plugin Author [urryes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urryes/) * (@urryes) * [6 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rootspersona-issue-problem-fixed/#post-18798444) * Gulford, I’m sorry, but the patched version of the plugin did have activation issues. They’ve been fixed now, and I’ve tested them on a couple of my subdomains, but you still need to be prepared for anything—you can’t test every possible combination. * I’ve given up on Ed Thompson (EdBecky) and am relying solely on myself and the AI. * Patricia BT (@patricia70) thank you for your concern. I think together we can continue developing and refining the plugin. ChatGPT is good, but AI Cursor is much better. * I don’t have much time to deal with GitHub, so here’s a direct link to the new version of the plugin: [https://urryes.ru/wp-content/uploads/2026/rootspersona.zip](https://urryes.ru/wp-content/uploads/2026/rootspersona.zip) * In this version: - Security issues resolved - Fatal crash issues resolved - Improved algorithm for validating uploaded headcom files - Fixed editing of the Bio field (previously, it was impossible to use HTML tags – they were cut off when saving, now you can). - Experimental features (SVG generation) – not recommended for now – poorly constructed. * Please provide feedback. The new version of the plugin is currently working on my website: [https://urryes.ru/](https://urryes.ru/) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[RootsPersona] Rootspersona access rights](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rootspersona-access-rights/) * Plugin Author [urryes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urryes/) * (@urryes) * [9 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rootspersona-access-rights/#post-18711914) * Okay. But, Ed, it’s been six months since the plugin was “disconnected” due security issues, even though they could have been resolved in minutes. I wrote you a letter and sent it to the specified address. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[RootsPersona] Read a local GEDCOM instead of upload](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-a-local-gedcom-instead-of-upload/) * Plugin Author [urryes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urryes/) * (@urryes) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-a-local-gedcom-instead-of-upload/#post-16432031) * Well… GEDCOM file is really big. But what error message you are received? Or not any? I think uploading GEDCOM to wp-content folder will not help. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[RootsPersona] cannot insert image on persona edit page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-insert-image-on-persona-edit-page/) * Plugin Author [urryes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urryes/) * (@urryes) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-insert-image-on-persona-edit-page/#post-11892746) * I don’t use tab on Persona pages. For example: [http://urryes.ru/rootspersona-tree/fisenko-vasilij-iosifovich/](http://urryes.ru/rootspersona-tree/fisenko-vasilij-iosifovich/) But problem exsist. Simple Light Box plugin gallery when work on common wordpress pages is better, then when it work on Persona gallery in terms of functionality– photo opens with caption (In the first case), and without captions (In the second case). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Participants Database] Dropdowns in search](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropdowns-in-search/) * [urryes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/urryes/) * (@urryes) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dropdowns-in-search/#post-3404396) * In one project, I used a participant database and it’s search – [http://bloominglife.ru/buy](http://bloominglife.ru/buy).
