I am not using BP Nouveau or Youzify and I don’t have a template pack. I am using the KLEO theme from 7th Heaven and, as I said, the activity short code has worked fine up until now, but now the “read more” link is missing and there are fewer characters appearing in the excerpt, which now gets cut off and no link to follow to read more. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Super Cache] CRON System Disabled](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cron-system-disabled-2/) * Thread Starter [marxmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marxmann/) * (@marxmann) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cron-system-disabled-2/#post-16438373) * Garbage collection . So without cron will the plugin work, yes or no?

Your ‘host blocking’ doesn’t work either. Adding known spammer host names like *.clergent.online,  *.rigdong.online, does absolutely nothing to stop these from registering. Nor does *.club, *.store, *.site, *.fun. NOTHING STOPS THEM. * So does Wordfence have anything that actually can prevent these spammers from registering that works? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WooCommerce] Blank Woocommerce dashboard after installing Woopayments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-woocommerce-dashboard-after-installing-woopayments/) * Thread Starter [marxmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marxmann/) * (@marxmann) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-woocommerce-dashboard-after-installing-woopayments/#post-16276448) * Well, the problem was never resolved so I just can’t use Woopayments. There were never errors in the logs or System Status Report, but I deleted the Woopayments plugin and cleared all my caches and set up alternative payment methods and my site is functional again. * Activating Woopayments still crashes my site with no error message. I checked for plugin conflicts but there were none, so something else is wrong that I can’t figure out. The reason us non-programmers that use PLUGINS is because we don’t write our own scripts, it’s too bad that not all plugins work as advertised. - This reply was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by [marxmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marxmann/). - This reply was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by [marxmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marxmann/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WooCommerce] template files not overwriting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/template-files-not-overwriting/) * Thread Starter [marxmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marxmann/) * (@marxmann) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/template-files-not-overwriting/#post-16220127) * [@skyedesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skyedesign/) good to see someone had success. I still didn’t, I deleted/replaced files in the child theme with latest copies but they still appear as outdated. I’m thinking maybe its a woo caching issue? I don’t know I’m not a programmer – which is why I’m using the plugin in the first place. I’m using W3 Total Cache but clearing didn’t help either, I don’t see a cache in Woocommerce itself. * Too bad there’s no actual support for this unless you pay for it, which makes me not want to pay for it. - This reply was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by [marxmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marxmann/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WooCommerce] template files not overwriting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/template-files-not-overwriting/) * Thread Starter [marxmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marxmann/) * (@marxmann) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/template-files-not-overwriting/#post-16219798) * Thanks for the reply. First I replaced the two outdated files as outlined in the status report in the child theme with the latest version’s template files, it didn’t help as the report still said the two files are still outdated. I also replaced them with these direct link files (after deleted old files) but they are still appearing as outdated in the status report. Nothing as changed. * I also replaced the two files directly in the main theme woocommerce directory and nothing helped there either. * from status report: * {childtheme}/woocommerce/cart/cart.php version 3.8.0 is out of date. The core version is 7.0.1, {childtheme}/product-searchform.php version 3.3.0 is out of date. The core version is 7.0.1, * Are these what the correct paths should be? There has to be a simple solution to this somewhere, why can’t the main theme’s woo files just be overwritten? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WooCommerce] template files not overwriting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/template-files-not-overwriting/) * Thread Starter [marxmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marxmann/) * (@marxmann) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/template-files-not-overwriting/#post-16167177) * The only two errors on the status report are what I have already added here, the 2 files that are out of date. If there is something more specific you want to see let me know and I’ll tell you. But there are no other warnings. * Adding the 2 new template files from the latest version to my child theme is not being recognized, they still appear as outdated in the SR. There is probably a simple fix for this if by someone more qualified. * I tried adding (with my theme name): * function mytheme_add_woocommerce_support() { add_theme_support( ‘woocommerce’);} add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘mytheme_add_woocommerce_support’ ); * to the child theme functions.php file but it crashes the site, is there anyone more qualified that knows exactly what the code is to register overwrites? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WooCommerce] template files not overwriting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/template-files-not-overwriting/) * Thread Starter [marxmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marxmann/) * (@marxmann) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/template-files-not-overwriting/#post-16157886) * I don’t see how pasting a large system file in a public forum is going to help. I have followed the guidelines but as I said it doesn’t work, the files are still appearing as outdated in system status. * At this page [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_theme_support/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_theme_support/) they say `Must be called in the theme’s functions.php file to work. If attached to a hook, it must be ‘after_setup_theme’. The ‘init’ hook may be too late for some features. * But I do not know exactly what to past into my functions.php file. Does anyone know the solution to this? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Wordfence Security - Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security] Blocking button no longer works – can’t click it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blocking-button-no-longer-works-cant-click-it/) * Thread Starter [marxmann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marxmann/) * (@marxmann) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blocking-button-no-longer-works-cant-click-it/#post-14420985) * I deactivated and deleted the defective wordfence installation, reinstalled but it still has the same problem, the BLOCK button does not work.
