Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress reading old PHP version, server running current versionAdding some more info here as to possible causes of this. I encountered this issue after updating PHP from 8.0 to 8.3 on Ubuntu, but no additional .htaccess files were present. WordPress was still insisting that it was running PHP 8.0. In my case, apache was running a different PHP version than Ubuntu. The solution in my case was to install the correct module for apache:
sudoapt install libapache2-mod-php8.3sudo a2enmod php8.3sudo systemctl restart apache2Hope that’s useful info in case someone else encounters the same issue.

In reply to: Your site is performing updates over FTP due to file ownership.Ok, figured this out. The issue was with the user not being assigned to the correct group. What wasn’t making sense to me was that WordPress runs as the server (www-data on Ubuntu), so I didn’t think the user should own the files. The problem was that the user needed to be added to that group:
sudo usermod -aG www-data $USER
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data html(Ran under the user, not as root).

In reply to: Your site is performing updates over FTP due to file ownership.Update: Late in the article referenced, it mentions su-php. This is a fresh Digital Ocean droplet, so I assumed su-php would not be running, however this seems to indicate that it is:
ps aux | grep php-fpm root 155150 0.0 0.0 8156 656 pts/0 S+ 17:41 0:00 grep --color=auto php-fpmThat being the case, I changed ownership of all files in html back to root (which seems like a bad idea to me, but anyway). Still no change.

In reply to: Your site is performing updates over FTP due to file ownership.Thanks for your reply. I feel like I’ve followed the direction in that article, but I’m obviously missing something.
Changing the group of everything in html and opening file perms a bit restored the ability to upload media, so partial success there:
chown -R :www-data html
find html/ -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
find html/ -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;Those were at the recommendation of the above-linked article. Site health continues to give the same error, though, and I still can’t update plugins, etc.

In reply to: [Widget Logic] Reported as abandoned by WordfenceI know this is an old thread, but I found this plugin that seems to fill the gap: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/conditional-blocks/
Note: most of the important features are premium.

In reply to: [Widget Logic] Reported as abandoned by WordfenceThis is really a bummer…this plugin was a mainstay for me, but given the direction that widgets are going with the block editor, I’m sort of not surprised that it’s abandoned.
I found this, which seems to be a plausible alternative: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/widget-options/
I haven’t tested it yet, but plan to on a client project soon.

This is officially user error 🙂 I completely missed the settings toggle to switch between v4 and v5. Resolved.

In reply to: [Analyticator] Not working with latest WPSame issue for me as seen in above screenshots: dashboard widget spins indefinitely but displays no graph. Browser console shows a 500 error for admin-ajax.php. That error only reproduces on the admin dashboard where the widget is attempting to load (and does not reproduce when the plugin is deactivated). The actual tracking code is rendering correctly in the markup, however.

Thanks! Just sent the info.
Thanks for the reply! Can I send you that via email? It’s a password-protected staging site for a client…I’d rather not throw that out in the forums 🙂

In reply to: [WP Advanced PDF] Error messages upon activationGiving any directory, even uploads, 777 permissions is a huge security vulnerability. I guess I won’t be using this plugin. Thanks.
