Coursepress 4.1

Hello sachinart,

I’m sorry to hear that CoursePress is not working as should on your site.

Im testing COursePress on my wbesite and I have trouble with replicating issues you describe.

This is how list of Courses looks like

Can you show me screenshot from your site?

The ‘NEXT’ button in any chapter isn’t working. I cannot change the page to next from any of my device.

That looks like a problem with broken JavaScript. Could you check if there are any errors in browser console when you are trying to move to next page?

Also try using one of the default WordPress themes like twentyseventeen to see if you can replicate that issue then.

kind regards,

Hello sachinart,

My site gets overlayed of black opacity when I click on NEXT, it also loads for 2-3 seconds but nothing happens.

New CoursePress is using Ajax to reload pages so what you see looks like broken JavaScript. If changing theme didn’t help that means that culprit can be another plugin.
Please run plugin conflict test to see if courses will start to work.

I use monosnap.com to share screenshot. If you want to do a screenshot please make sure browser console is open so I can see what is happening there.

Or you can send me link to your site and if courses are free I can enroll and check myself.

Im afraid downgrading is not an option because courses structure in CP 2.0 changed – if you want to downgrade you would need to restore backup of site from before of the update.

Hello sachinart,

There are two errors in browser console. First one points to wp pfd generator plugin, so first disable this one and see if this will help.

Another error points to server limits: set_time_limit – ask your service provider to increase it. That should prevent error from showing and fix issue.

because I couldn’t find the option “Anyone can enroll” in this new version.

That option is still in the same place, but now it says “Any registered users”.

kind regards,

Hello sachinart,

Like I said before you will need to restore your site from backup because there were changes in courses structure in database, so installing older version wont help (you can try it, plugin is here https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/coursepress/developers/ under “Other Versions”)

There is tutorial here https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/increase-memory-limit/ on how to increase memory limits, but its very possible that if you are on free hosting that also wont work.

kind regards,

Hello @sachinart, I trust you are doing well!

set_time_limit() has been disabled for security reasons

Web hosting companies do this to prevent you from running very-long-running processes that could impact the availability of other websites sharing the server.

If hosting cannot help raise that restriction (on shared servers they may not do that) – please change the define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); line in wp-config.php to define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );

This will hide the notice. If your site can process larger file this shouldn’t be an issue.

See http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Debugging_in_WordPress

As for the JSON error in the devloper console, can you replicate the same when all the other plugins are deactivated?

Please advise,

Cheers,
Nastia
