It gets a bit tedious with deeply nested folders, so you need to know about paths and urls to use the plugin effectively. I love how I can use FTP to side step this and either create directories with the FTP client or upload them. Then I just go to the folder settings and click on the button marked Make Folder & Save Changes and I can then see the folder in the select lists. It would be nice if that nag message for the extended uploader was only visible in the settings page instead of the library page as well its annoying. Otherwise a nice simple plugin that provides functionality that really should be native to WordPress by now. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Organize Media Library by Folders] Folders not longer displayed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/folders-not-longer-displayed/) * [DevPete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devpete/) * (@devpete) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/folders-not-longer-displayed/page/2/#post-13787909) * For me the problem was that in the drop list for All Folders was not rendering all of the folders properly some were missing like the root uploads folder itself and the first two folder and the rest were not in proper alpha numeric order. The bulk select list was also not listing all of the folders and again they were not in alpha numeric order. There were folder names starting with the letter b listed after the letter m it was a best effort but badly done. On this site it is a store selling beer stuff and so far I have made a shit load of directories and sub directories, I like to have things organised. After the last upgrade I saw the notice to click the button to Make Folder & Save Changes which I did that is when I noticed the problem. When I looked at the state of the drop lists I realised that the answer in my case was simply with the script not finishing the task properly. So in cPanel for this site I increased Max Execution time to 360 second or 6 minutes but this did not make any difference when I refreshed the page and opened the drop lists. I clicked the button in the folder settings again to be sure but the folders were not listed in proper alpha numeric order and some were missing. So I thin increase the amount of RAM that PHP can access to 512MB and I then clicked on the button in the folder settings and then checked the drop select lists and they were rendering the list of folders in alpha numeric order and none were missing. So increasing execution time and memory in PHP settings should solve the problem, this is down to load if there are lots of folders an images. You need to add some information to the plugin info about this so people know they need to increase execution and memory limits for PHP. - This reply was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by [DevPete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devpete/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Organize Media Library by Folders] Folders not longer displayed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/folders-not-longer-displayed/) * [DevPete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devpete/) * (@devpete) * [5 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/folders-not-longer-displayed/#post-13780191) * I have been using this plugin for a while now and it has worked great so far, but after the last update it is not ordering the folders properly. When I upload new images to the root directory and then open the drop list to select a directory to move them to the directories in the list are not rendered in alphabetic order as they were previously reflecting the file system. Each place where you can view the list of directories is now different, the closes match to the file system tree is the select list to display all images in a specific directory. In the change log it says that the way the directories are displayed has been fixed twice with recent updates, yet here we are all having similar problems with the thing not rendering directories properly. The fact that the OP started this thread 2 months and 2 weeks ago and the author has not responded does not look promising at all. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] Wordfence 7.0.1 Upgrade UI Problems](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordfence-7-0-1-upgrade-ui-problems/) * Thread Starter [DevPete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devpete/) * (@devpete) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordfence-7-0-1-upgrade-ui-problems/#post-9929986) * Hi wfalaa, Sorry for the slow reply, thanks for submitting the bug report. No worrries about the ETA for a fix I can use a different browser if I need to adjust any settings in Wordfence on any of my own of clients sites in the mean time. * Pete Likkle more * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] Wordfence 7.0.1 Upgrade UI Problems](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordfence-7-0-1-upgrade-ui-problems/) * Thread Starter [DevPete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devpete/) * (@devpete) * [8 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordfence-7-0-1-upgrade-ui-problems/#post-9908806) * Hi wfalaa, I had emailed a copy of the .zip folder to feedback@ and a few minutes later I got a reply to acknowledge reciept of the email and an email regarding your reply, so I have emailed a copy of the .zip folder to you so you can check them out first hand. I checked out the link from your last reply and cleared the cache using this method via the gears icon to open the menu and clear the cache via Delete Browsing History and then I closed the browser, relaunched it logged into my site and the firewall page content I described is still not rendered properly and has horizontal and vertical scroll bars and the same applies to the scans page. In Firefox, Chrome and Opera the horizontal list of boxes scales and fits but not in IE and applys to text that is exceeding its container element its not happening with the W3C browsers everything is cook an curry. With clearing the browser cache I have also used the Tools menu route to open Internet Options to clear the cache this way and I have even opened the Temporary Internet Files folder selected everything deleted them just to be sure so I can see the bloodclatt folder is empty for true. When I load the pages I have the developer tools running on the network tab and all the dependencies are loading css and js files etc, it is obviously something silly with a style rule or rules with IE not doin the right or expected thing. The only things I see are some warnings about tags not self closing regarding some svg path tags which should have explicit closing tags. As I have been browsing around and looking at different things I have noticed there are a few other places within page content where text is exceeding its container and postioning of buttons is off. Hopefully this will help to resolve the issues.

Then I clicked the link for Wordfence to load the dashboard and created a screenshot I then loaded all of the plugin pages and created screenshots of each page. I then repeated the process on my laptop clearing the cache in IE logging into the dashboard again then loading all the Wordfence plugin pages and creating screenshots of each page. The problems still exist when viewed on the laptop using IE despite clearing the cache first even though I had not used the device for 6 months and as such had not recently used the browser to access the sites dashboard.

I had actually tried that this afternoon, but I gave it another go just to be sure. Also there is no caching plugin installed on the site nor is there any caching software running on the server Varnish was available in cPanel but I always disable it. Looks like its IE being bumboclatt as usual. I am running Internet Explorer 11 Version: 11.0.9600.18837 Update versions: 11.0.48 kb4047206 Hopefully this detailed browser info may be more useful to you guys.

Pete Likkle more * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WooCommerce] Woocommerce Orders Not Displayed In Dashboard](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-orders-not-displayed-in-dashboard/) * Thread Starter [DevPete](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devpete/) * (@devpete) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-orders-not-displayed-in-dashboard/#post-8258420) * I have finally resolved the issue with details for orders not being displayed o the Orders page. The active theme is the North theme by Siteorigin which provides Woocommerce support is up to date and the WordPress core is also up to date, all the plugins are also up to date, so I knew there was no issue with the WordPress, the theme or any plugins needing updating. So I disabled all the none Siteorigin plugins one by one and I had the Orders page open in a separate tab, after disabling a plugin I switched tabs and refreshed the page to see if there was any change, unfortunately each time the details for the orders were not displayed. On the Woocommerce system status page everything was cook and curry green ticks everywhere, but the day after I checked for a plugin conflict there was an error for remote GET so I created a support ticket with my host and they disabled something in the firewall and this fixed the issue. When I looked at the source code for the Orders page I could see the details for orders was visible, but it was not being rendered by the browser because each element had the css class hidden applied to them. I then spent time checking the plugin files to see where and why the. hidden class was being applied and could not find anything that looked amiss. Then a couple of days ago I noticed a remote POST error regarding PayPals IPN, so I created a new support ticket with my host and gave them a login for the site, after one of the support guys checked the site he suggested reinstalling the Woocommerce plugin. SO after doing some research about the best way to achieve this without losing all the data, I decided to check for a plugin conflict again and found there was no conflict. Before I logged out of the dashboard I decided to click on the Screen Options tab and low and behold all the checkboxes were empty, so I clicked on one and checked it and immediately some details for each order were displayed in the page. I did not think to check the screen options simply because these are usually checked by default, so I spent time looking at it from a technical perspective. Unfortunately my clients granddaughter had been in the dashboard making changes and she had obviously unchecked them, why anyone would wish to hide the details for orders is another matter, only an imbecile would do this. Thanks again for your help and advice it is much appreciated.
