Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Synology Package End of Life@smaaax Uninstall accomplished with no problems. Steps:
- Renamed web_packages/wordpress to web_packages/old-wordpress
- new site was in a different directory under /web
- Ran Updraft+ backup for the entire site and database (new location) and have been for months
- Ran wordpress package uninstall, supplied root password for DB
- Everything continued to work fine after full testing.
- Deleted web/old-wordpress
Emergency plan was if Synology deleted all wordpress and database I could do a full restore from updraft+, which I have done in the past, to recover the production site located in the /web directory. It was surprisingly effortless with no problems. But I did make sure I had the full backup just in case. And had installed the native wordpress instance in the /web directory rather than the /web/web_packages/wordpress location that is the Synology default.
If you attempt this good luck and backups are your friends.

In reply to: Synology Package End of Life@smaaax An interesting if not somewhat obtuse reply from synology. I must say that 1) I have my new site in a completely new and different directory not in the same structure. I am fairly confident that it would not find or delete my current instance. I did leave the “Old” version there so synology would find it and be able to delete it.
I will start looking into MariaDB and see how it is established there to see if it is worth the risk.
Finally I would not want it to delete the other dependent apps like apache, PHP, etc. Everything is backed up and MariaDB is the thing I am most worried about since I can’t “see” it in my directories but only with phpMyAdmin. If I could see the DB I would simply copy it away let the uninstall do its thing, then copy it back. So I guess the plot thickens. If I do anything I will post the trials and results.

In reply to: Synology Package End of LifeI am in a similar situation. I HAD a wordpress site installed and running by the original synology wordpress package.
Due to security issues and lack of support from synology I made the decision to follow marius instructions and installed a native wordpress instance changing directory structure as noted in the instructions and reused the mariadb database with minor tweaks. All has been working fine for months with wordpress updating to the lates as expected and support packages updating as needed.
Now the problem is synology released a new wordpress package update that I do not want to use. Is there any way to uninstall, or mark as not installed, the wordpress package? If you uninstall the wordpress package it will destroy the mariadb database which has all of my current website information. I feel like I am really stuck in a pickle. Does anyone know how to get out of this predicament I am sure others are in the same boat.

In reply to: [Compact WP Audio Player] Audio Easter EggYes I did. The button didn’t change but stayed the standard button. Also the image is 360 px high and 128 px wide. Size of the file is 1,493KB. Don’t know if that makes a difference. I expected the image to become the new image although small, then I would work on making it larger. One step at a time.
Other than the image issue it works as I would like it to.
Uninstalled and deleted. Determined plugin doesn’t work. Loaded wordfence which is working fine now.
Uninstalled and reinstalled AGAIN and am back to the original problem. An Author ID has 2FA enabled fine. But my primary administrator account will ONLY work with the email option. EVERY time I try to enable the 2FA in my profile options it kicks me out to the wordpress dashboard and does not open the security options. Waiting for an opinion before permanently deleting the plugin.
Deactivated and deleted Solid Security. Restarted servers. Reinstalled Solid Security. Now unable to configure any 2FA. Said I needed to “Rotate” security keys but no way to do that. Tried to Set Encryption Key and get the following errors:
Could not rotate ‘_two_factor_totp_key’ for ‘2’: Could not decrypt secret
Could not rotate ‘_two_factor_totp_key’ for ‘3’: Could not decrypt secretThe Rotate Key block is now gone with no way to do anything. Without a reply in a few days I will have no choice but to abandon Solid Security as a plugin that doesn’t work.
