I just wanted to confirm I updated the base OS so the server has a supported PHP version as you recommended, and updated the plugin with your latest patch. All is working perfectly again for me.

You can also SSH in, or if you have cpanel access you can delete it that way too. That should deactivate this plugin and let your site come back online, if it’s the same issue. Deleting that folder got things back up. After I reloaded the plugin from the wordpress repository, it failed to activate with the error I posted, so I came here. It’s a great plugin so I hope we can reactivate it. Hope this helps! - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [bitpath](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bitpath/). - This reply was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by [bitpath](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bitpath/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Mail SMTP by WPForms - The Most Popular SMTP and Email Log Plugin] New error with today’s update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-error-with-todays-update/) * Thread Starter [bitpath](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bitpath/) * (@bitpath) * [7 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-error-with-todays-update/#post-10446200) * xfoxx, forgive me for not understanding completely.

I’ve followed the links to all the posts I’m getting and I’m not subscribed to them. I think I subscribed to follow up for one or two plugins once and now I’m getting posts from all these other ones too.

I did not sign up for all those topics either. I signed up for one topic to get responses maybe a month or two ago, and sometime in the last month I started getting floods of emails every day from numerous wordpress.org forums daily. I followed the link on a few of them to try to unsubscribe but I am not subscribed to any of them. I don’t recognize the topics. Also I tried to turn email notifications off altogether and it’s still happening. Any help is appreciated. I’d hate to just block wordpress.org because I’d like to get some responses if I sign up to something. Individually unsubscribing from all these forums is not an option because I’m not subscribed to any of the ones I’ve checked (or any that I know of anymore). My email is not in the “to” box at all in the emails I am getting either. They are coming from “WordPress.org Forums (noreply@wordpress.org)” and in the to box it says they are being sent to [noreply@wordpress.org](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bitpath/replies/noreply@wordpress.org?output_format=md) but appearing in my inbox. - This reply was modified 8 years, 8 months ago by [bitpath](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bitpath/). * Forum: [Networking WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite/) In reply to: [new user doesnt show up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-user-doesnt-show-up/) * [bitpath](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bitpath/) * (@bitpath) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-user-doesnt-show-up/#post-9173288) * I just got this too or something similar.

Not having exif compiled in apache and enabled was my issue when this did not work at first.

I am using the pro extension but I’m not sure which is sayIng 8 updates available, but is still not updated after it “ finishes” running. It is not using the regular WordPress plugins update section, but a separate photocrati admin dashboard section saying updates are available that won’t apply. I am using a multisite install, so I tried activating on a single site as well as network activation and same issue. Update only shows on individual sites, not the network admin menu. I will follow up with imagely.com once I get my information together. This showed up first under a search for this current issue, so I wanted to add this info. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Admin extremely slow](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-extremely-slow-1/) * [bitpath](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bitpath/) * (@bitpath) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-extremely-slow-1/#post-5438907) * just fyi, we’re experiencing the same issue, which I also traced to many back- end calls to [https://api.wordpress.org/themes/update-check/1.1/](https://api.wordpress.org/themes/update-check/1.1/) and other api.wordpress.org sites on almost every admin page load. This is causing freezing in updates and logins and simple admin navigation. We’ve been able to mitigate it by disable update plugins and disabling cron, but it’s just a band- aid and doesn’t help with logins. This barely started happening to us about a couple weeks or so ago, and seemed timed with a WP update. I was hoping 4.2 would fix it but no go so far. CRON manager plugin could not help because the constant calls to api.wordpress.org were protected it said but disabling cron all together reduced this to logins and certain admin sections that need to call translations or intentional update checks.

I understood the differences in the options, but just couldn’t see verbiage on any of the combinations that expicitely stated gravatar would not be pinged or sent info at all. I definitely had controls enabled and defaulted to NOT use gravatar, and my test user left gravatar unselected (=yes, disable). Every login appeared to still send data to gravatar. This user should not have a gravatar unless it was automatically created by some other wordpress site. Either way, I would think whether they had one or not, the option not to use it would disable even checking or pinging them on login. They have a local avatar already as well. I can’t be sure, because I have other privacy options enabled, but as soon as I disabled this plugin it appeared to quit pinging gravatar on every login for this user, defaulting to other privacy enabled, so I’m not sure this setup needs this additional protection, but wanted to let you know it sort of seems like this plugin was letting gravatar get pinged with some info though admin gave user choice, defaulted to opt out, and this user had gravatar use unchecked. All plugins current as of date. Thanks!!!!
