No, my customer didn’t need it any more, so I didn’t work on it at all.
I have used the Calculate Form Fields (Pro) for some other customers, which probably isn’t really a replacement, but I have done some pretty neat things with that plugin with custom coding for calculating prices to run an annual vendor event with different prices based on what size space and options they choose, etc.I am the host provider.
There isn’t really a screenshot, other than “mysqladmin processlist” shows 20 or 30 queries for updating the same wp_options key as mentioned above.
So, there aren’t any actual database limits in place, but I’m questioning a design decision to have over a million characters in one meta_value row – seems like there would be a better place to store all of those image names.
and the symptom was that the whole server’s CPU load went through the roof, because mysql was basically hung, due to timeouts, and then the user would reload the page when getting a 504 error, thus starting the whole gallery upload over again.
But, the other higher level question is – does your plugin support 300+ images per gallery? He has multiple galleries with that many images – I hadn’t noticed a problem before, so presumably it is fine, but I’m wondering what you consider “normal” and what would you consider “too many” photos in one gallery?There were 300 images in this gallery. I don’t know what you consider normal?

In reply to: [Visual Form Builder] It’s dead and buggyYup, just discovered that today. I’m not sure how it is working on one of my sites… But, fatal error on another.

In reply to: [Buy Me a Coffee - Button and Widget Plugin] Plugin dead?Warnings in PHP7 and server crashes. Seems unlikely that the developer is still really supporting this plugin. I’m not going to try to install it on my live PHP8 site, but let my customer know to find a different plugin.

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] Disable future links?I disabled the yoast plugin, and saw the <meta> not get written at all…
But, if I click the “disable events” search engine links in yoast, it appears to do the right thing, or at least mostly – the <meta> tag is changed to noindex, follow, and then there is javascript to modifiy the <meta> tag, and there are rel attributes on the <a> tags.
So, kind of overkill, in terms of having to disable all events from being indexed, but if the events calendar doesn’t support disabling future events on its own, at least yoast can disable everything for it.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [The Events Calendar] Disable future links?Ah – I wasn’t looking for a meta tag, I was thinking it was going to be on each <a href> link.
So, your plugin allows indexing of the main calendar page, but then puts a nofollow on the main page and noindex on all the rest of the calendar pages?
I assume there is a yoast or some plugin that is the problem one.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [The Events Calendar] Disable future links?Same for the calendar day links:

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] Disable future links?No, I just hadn’t gotten to check on whether your code actually does what your link says it does. I have a link “>” that points to the next month. There is no “noindex” or “nofollow” attributes included, as your linked article says there should be. Is there a setting to turn that on?

tribe-events-c-top-bar__nav-link tribe-events-c-top-bar__nav-link--next"
aria-label="Next month" title="Next month"
data-js="tribe-events-view-link" rel="next"Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [The Events Calendar] Disable future links?i think that is saying you already put noindex/follow in all links anyway? I’ll have to see if that is actually working.
that seems unlikely since Google is still crawling. I do think Amazon’s crawler is broken, since it didn’t even ever look at robots.txt – I have complained to their abuse department about that.

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] Disable future links?Until a fix/setting is added to the plugin, I just block all of the robots in my nginx config:
location /calendar { if ($http_user_agent ~* (amazon|google|spider|bot) ) { return 403; }Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [The Events Calendar] Disable future links?No. It is related to performance. My server is getting swamped due to having all of these dynamic links getting hit over and over again by various crawlers, legitimate and illegitimate. I think you should have a setting in the software that disables the “next month” (and any other links) for a user configurable amount.
As far as I can see, the link you gave doesn’t mention anything like that.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [ActivityPub] Autolinking #1ah, right. I did see that, but then forgot. Thanks!

In reply to: [Smart Slider 3] Smart Slider breaking Backendwidgets were suddenly broken for me too. The patched version works for me, thanks!
I can’t disable it, since that would make the site go slowly. We saw a great improvement with the site when we enabled memcached years ago. It seems to me that something has changed with the events plugin, because we have used this plugin for a long time, and have only started having problems with it in the last release or two.
