woocommerce is on vagu71’s post. This post is now mixed up.
If anyone knows what to do after a failed rollback (yes plugins off) then please advise,
Thanks GeoffOr if this site is damaged:
how to add a post or page directly using mysql and/or ftp?
This page could be coded up using an existing page… then put in the index somehow. Hmm links.
Ideas welcome
Thanks
Hi all
just did the rollback/direct install to v 3.3.2 (following WP instructions).This did not work,
I just got a blank page, and none of the php links worked;
also the site was offline
(I used an index.htm to show maintenance).So I reloaded the actual backup and it all sprang back to life.
It seems to still be working (but no admin access) as I switched on a form plugin, which then started working again instead of showing the [form tag].
So: if it is all working OK, even showing the dashboard row at the top of the screen, but I can’t use admin (ie do any more work on it), how can I get admin back?
I have tried the screen.php edits which have been used for ‘whitescreen’ admin areas. No effect.
Thanks
This site upgrade got missed out, across many sites. It has Wordfence and a few other security plugins.
Other sites I look after (non-commercial) are now on auto upgrade. This one soon will be! (I hope).Thanks Geoff
Hi
yes I had a screen shot of the working site admin, it is WP 3.3.2The upgrade to 4.5.2 must have been too much for it.
So will do manual rollback.
I will keep you posted with developments for the record and use by others.Thanks all.
GeoffThe themes are the defaults, and Primepress, so I leave it on.
(I do not have site access, login gives a white screen, and debug log gives the fatal error above.
I have to rename themes, plugins (to switch off) in ftp.The other 2 themes are twentyten and twentyeleven. These are no problem.
If I turn off (rename) w3-total-cache I will lose the live site.So perhaps I have to do a manual rollback. I have this:
http://tbwhs.com/blog/wordpress-rollback/Unfortunately I don’t know the old version, I guess it was the one with twentyeleven, ie, WordPress 3.2 in 2011. That was about when the site was made.
Question: Is there a file anywhere that has a site history (ie, versions etc)? I can’t find anything.
Thanks everyone!
Hi
I switched off the themes, no effect. Yes I am only able to use ftp to access the site.
I have thought of rolling back, is drastic so will be last.Question: Do you know if switching off the w3-total-cache plugin will remove the cached version of the site? It still works fine, including old, all, pages, posts etc.
Also, when logged in, and viewing the site, I get the dashboard bar at the top, but nothing works (get white screen).
Thanks
Hi Raja et al
‘kiss your ass’ is not very offensive, perhaps that is vernacular, rather than Proper English, I should have said
“don’t expect volunteers [free software writers] to do special support services for you.”
I meant that if you do free work for people (ie, make free software) the users of that free software should not expect special updates, personal support etc. I was responding to users who expect special support, and then complain if they don’t get it:
>>>rajaito quoted an email from: Raja Sekharan
“…I am not going to tell you how to remove the link. I couldn’t care less if you don’t use the plugin.”<<<Novice? Thanks, ppl think I am young looking too! I started in computing in 1980 (COBOL). My free software is a Win/Mac desktop app called Story Lite available for free with tons of supporting materials from
http://www.storylite.com
With several new versions out in Nov 2011 (ie, soon).Vernacular is much used, it was invented by Shakespeare.
Thanks for excellent WP Autoresponder!
Of course this is for Raj which is fine, you can brand that page, since it is a plain text page. Links are for all – the more the better to legit people – like those who make the stuff.
If you are building (assembling, you mean, like lego) a site for others, I suppose you will put in a link to your own ‘top web services’ – but not the people who wrote the software!
That is a laugh!
php is not ‘there’ it is up a bit – just look for it.
GeoffHi
this link to WPR is a file calledtemplates/confirmed.html
you can edit that and ftp it back up again. There are a few other files therein, and the php is also there. If you make a backup, you can hack away to experiment.
Raj is too busy to support 1000s on newbies.
I also do free software, it is a lot of free work.
Companies like Facebook and Google are not ‘free’ they are massively funded and take your souls for advertising (either directly, or from other large companies). This is fine of course, just don’t expect volunteers to kiss your ass.
Support free software and plugins, stop moaning. Just poke about a bit – you might learn something.
If you want support etc, buy some software instead.
