In these cases, even setting up an external cron service usually fails because the server rejects non-browser connections. * I strongly suggest **contacting your hosting provider** directly. Ask them if there are restrictions on WP Cron or loopback connections and if they can whitelist it. * This is definitely a server configuration issue, not a bug in the WP Statistics plugin. * Greetings * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[HivePress Favorites] Missing “Favorites” Settings Tab and functionality on clean install (v1.2.2)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-favorites-settings-tab-and-functionality-on-clean-install-v1-2-2/) * Thread Starter [NewCodeByte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newcodebyte/) * (@newcodebyte) * [5 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-favorites-settings-tab-and-functionality-on-clean-install-v1-2-2/#post-18740910) * Hi [@kseniiahivepress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kseniiahivepress/), * Thank you for the clarification. * I misunderstood how the plugin works: I assumed the “Favorites” menu item (and a related settings tab) should be visible by default immediately after activation. I didn’t realize that the section generates automatically in the profile only after the first interaction (clicking the “Add to Favorites” heart icon). * Everything is clear now, thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[AI Chatbot Free Models – Customer Support, Live Chat, Virtual Assistant] Getting this Database Error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-this-database-error/) * Plugin Author [NewCodeByte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newcodebyte/) * (@newcodebyte) * [6 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-this-database-error/#post-18728995) * Thanks for your answer! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[AI Chatbot Free Models – Customer Support, Live Chat, Virtual Assistant] Getting this Database Error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-this-database-error/) * Plugin Author [NewCodeByte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newcodebyte/) * (@newcodebyte) * [6 months, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-this-database-error/#post-18720268) * Hello [@saadhamid](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saadhamid/) , * Thank you for reaching out and for providing such detailed information. I’m the developer of the plugin, and I’ll help you solve this. * The error message “Database Error: Could not create a new conversation” indicates a very specific problem: the plugin is trying to start a new chat by creating an entry in its database table, but the database operation is failing. * This almost always means that one of the plugin’s required database tables, wp_newcodebyte_chatbot_conversations, was not created correctly during the last update. Your attempts to deactivate/ reactivate were the right first step, but it seems something is preventing the automatic creation process. * **Please do NOT delete the plugin, as this would remove all your saved settings.** * Instead, could you please help me diagnose the issue with this simple check? * **Step 1: Check if a Database Table is Missing** 1. Please log in to your website’s database management tool (like **phpMyAdmin**, which is usually available in your hosting control panel). 2. Select your WordPress database. 3. Look at the list of tables and check if a table named **wp_newcodebyte_chatbot_conversations** exists. (Note: the wp_ prefix might be different on your site, for example wp123_). * Please let me know the result: - **Case A:** The table is **missing**. - **Case B:** The table **exists**. * Based on your answer, I can provide a safe and precise solution. If the table is missing (which is the most likely cause), I will guide you on how to trigger its creation again without losing any of your settings. * Thank you for your patience as we get this sorted out. * Best regards, NewCodeByte * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[AI Chatbot Free Models – Customer Support, Live Chat, Virtual Assistant] .gifs missing, can you please send me both chat open and closed .gifs?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gifs-missing-can-you-please-send-me-both-chat-open-and-closed-gifs/) * Plugin Author [NewCodeByte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newcodebyte/) * (@newcodebyte) * [6 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gifs-missing-can-you-please-send-me-both-chat-open-and-closed-gifs/#post-18709853) * Thank you * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[AI Chatbot Free Models – Customer Support, Live Chat, Virtual Assistant] .gifs missing, can you please send me both chat open and closed .gifs?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gifs-missing-can-you-please-send-me-both-chat-open-and-closed-gifs/) * Plugin Author [NewCodeByte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newcodebyte/) * (@newcodebyte) * [6 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gifs-missing-can-you-please-send-me-both-chat-open-and-closed-gifs/#post-18706219) * Hello [@mittwaffen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mittwaffen/) , * Certainly!

It was the key to diagnosing the root cause of the problem. * We have implemented the pods_field_args filter exactly as suggested. To verify its execution, we added some console.log debugging to see what was happening for different users. * **Our tests have produced a conclusive result:** 1. **When logged in as an Administrator:** 2. - Our debugging confirms that current_user_can(‘manage_options’) returns true. - The filter correctly sets $args[‘readonly’] = false;. - The field is fully editable in the browser, which is the correct behavior. 3. **When logged in as a non-admin User (Subscriber role):** 4. - We first used the User Role Editor plugin to confirm that this user role ** does not** have the manage_options capability. The user’s permissions are correct and minimal. - Despite this, our initial debug showed that current_user_can(‘manage_options’) was unexpectedly returning true for this user, indicating a deeper permissions conflict on our site. - To bypass this conflict, we modified your code to check the user’s role directly with in_array(‘administrator’, $user->roles). - **This new test worked perfectly.** Our console.log now definitively shows that for a non-admin user, the filter correctly identifies the role and sets $args[‘readonly’] = true;. The instruction to make the field read-only is being sent correctly from the server. * **This leads us to the core issue:** * Even though we have proven that the readonly: true argument is being correctly passed to the field’s arguments for non-admin users, **the multi-select relationship field in the browser remains fully interactive.** The user can still search, add, and remove items. * This confirms that the PHP logic is sound, but the JavaScript component (Select2) used to render this specific field type does not seem to respect or implement the readonly state. * **Our Question:** * Given that the readonly argument is being ignored by the field’s front-end, are there any alternative, non-CSS solutions to achieve this? * For example: - Is there a different argument we should be using instead of ‘readonly’ for this specific field type? - Is there a built-in Pods JavaScript event or hook that we can use to programmatically disable or destroy the Select2 instance for non-admin users after it initializes? * We are trying to avoid using CSS to hide the controls, as we prefer a more robust and integrated solution. * Thank you again for your expert help. We feel we are very close to a solution. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[AI Chatbot Free Models – Customer Support, Live Chat, Virtual Assistant] Excellent chatbot plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-chatbot-plugin/) * Plugin Author [NewCodeByte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newcodebyte/) * (@newcodebyte) * [8 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-chatbot-plugin/#post-18651057) * > Hi Phil, > Thank you for this fantastic review!

Per quanto riguarda la tua ultima considerazione…lo sai come funzionano le cose, i plugin con più installazioni e più stelle sono quelli più scaricati a prescindere da tutto, uno cerca e vede un plugin con 100.000 installazioni e 1000 recensioni, poi uno con 10+ installazioni e 0 recensioni, quale pensi installerà? E allora il grosso diventa sempre più grosso e le briciole restano agli altri, ma non importa, la cosa più importante è fare qualcosa di valido e funzionante, per il resto pazienza.Ho visto che tempo fa avevi lasciato una recensione ad un altro mio plugin, il chatbot, se in futuro vorresti provare l’altro mio plugin, lo smart external links manager che si occupa dei link esterni ed interni, per farli aprire in nuove schede o meno, aggiungendo i vari rel nofollow, noreferrer ecc, se lo troverai utile mi aspetto un’altra tua recensione 🙂Grazie mille. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[AI Chatbot Free Models – Customer Support, Live Chat, Virtual Assistant] Meilleur Chatbot AI WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/meilleur-chatbot-ai-wordpress/) * Plugin Author [NewCodeByte](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newcodebyte/) * (@newcodebyte) * [8 months, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/meilleur-chatbot-ai-wordpress/#post-18633865) * Merci beaucoup pour votre gentillesse et vos beaux mots.
