In reply to: [Participants Database] Maximum limit of members / entriesThanks for the reply.
Since posting this, I have added a substantial number of records onto a website with shared hosting. So far, I have experienced no issues.
As noted, these records include just a bit of text (no images, formulae, etc.), so the individual records are small. We are not displaying a lot of records at any given time, as you advised.
The only issue is on the administrative side: The data uploading process takes time. I presume that this is related to the server, not the plugin or WordPress.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the reply and the information.
For what it’s worth, it appears that installing the official Cloudflare plugin solved the problem.

In reply to: [WPS Hide Login] WPS Hide Login security issues?Thanks for following up.
– xmlrpc is both disabled and blocked by my CDN (Cloudflare)
– No registrations are permitted.
– The plugin and WordPress are up to date.This started just a few days ago. Everything was running smoothly until then.
The malicious bot is identified as having a Java user agent that makes HEAD requests.
There was a recent WordPress update. As I think about it, the problems may have begun after the WP update. Perhaps the most recent update has something to do with this.
Thanks again.

In reply to: [FeedWordPress] Daylight Savings Time problems?Belated thanks for following up.
I don’t run RSS feeds from outside sources directly into FeedWordPress — I have an aggregator/filter that processes everything first — so unfortunately, I can’t help with examples of any specific feeds.
I suspect that part of the issue is a conflict in time zones between (a) the server that is hosting WordPress, (b) the time zone of the WordPress website and (c) the time zones of the feeds. As it turns out, I had two of these set to one US time zone but the third set to a different time zone that is one hour behind, hence the issue.
So part of the solution is to make sure that everything is on the same time zone. On shared hosting, the time zone is probably dictated by the hosting provider and can’t be changed by the user, so it’s probably wise to find out the time zone of your server and then make sure that all of the time zones are consistent.
But changing this hasn’t eliminate all of the duplicates, either. I’m still trying to figure this out, but much of the problem may or may not have anything to do with FeedWordPress. If I find out, I’ll let you know.
Thanks again.

In reply to: [Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Virus in Jetpack v. 3.9.6 ?I’ve reviewed this more closely and have concluded that there is no problem here.
Thanks.

In reply to: [FeedWordPress] Every new feed, creates new author – how to disable it?For each feed, go to:
Syndication > Authors > Syndicated Authors > Unmatched authors
Under the pulldown “Authors who haven’t been syndicated before”, either choose a specific author from your user list or else add a new one to the users list via “will have their posts attributed to a new user.” (Fill in the box, and the user will be added to the WordPress users database.)
Hit save. All of the future posts from that feed will then be attributed to that one specific user.
Once you’ve done that, there should be a way in the WordPress users menu to delete the users that you don’t want, and to have their posts attributed to this one user. (But with 9000 users, switching all of them over to a single different user is going to take quite awhile.)

In reply to: [MesoColumn] Slider questionsRe: the slider images, I have a sort of a fix for this:
1. A plugin called Category Featured Images will allow you to assign a default image to every post in the same category.
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/category-featured-images/
2. You can then add CSS code to Customize > General > Custom CSS that will hide the images so that they are not displayed on the front and category archive pages:
.feat-thumb {display: none;}
.post-thumb.in-archive {display: none;}
This leaves you with images in the slider.
I have not yet figured out how to have images by author.
Thanks again.

In reply to: [MesoColumn] Text excerpts – problems with multisiteThanks, that resolved it.
(What I don’t understand is why it didn’t work before, as I had already tried that previously. I’m starting to think that it was my caching plugin, which I ended up removing completely and reinstalling.)

In reply to: [MesoColumn] Text excerpts – problems with multisiteThe excerpts show up on the child sites when using the Twenty Fifteen theme.
Switching from default to magazine layout in Mesocolumn made no difference.

In reply to: [MesoColumn] Text excerpts – problems with multisiteUnfortunately, replacing
dez_get_custom_the_excerpt($post_custom_excerpt,”);
with
the_excerpt();
also did not work.
Could it possibly be SSL-related? (I don’t see why this would be relevant, but the parent and child sites are all https.)

In reply to: [MesoColumn] Text excerpts – problems with multisiteI couldn’t locate `dez_get_custom_excerpt() in index.php or in lib/template/home-feat-cat.php
In lib/template/feat-cat-meta-top.php and lib/template/feat-cat-meta-bottom.php, I replaced:
echo dez_get_custom_the_excerpt($post_custom_excerpt,”); ?></div><?php } ?>
-with-
echo the_excerpt($post_custom_excerpt,”); ?></div><?php } ?>
but that didn’t help.
In content.php, I replaced:
<div class=”entry-content”><?php echo dez_get_custom_the_excerpt($archive_excerpt); ?></div>
-with-
<div class=”entry-content”><?php echo the_excerpt($archive_excerpt); ?></div>
which also didn’t help.

In reply to: [MesoColumn] Text excerpts – problems with multisiteThanks for checking.
Perhaps this will help: When viewing the page source, the “entry-content feat-content” field appears on the home page of the parent domain (example.com) for each post, while it does not appear on the posts on the home pages of the child domains (example.com/alpha, example.com/beta, etc.). So the excerpt isn’t displaying on those child domain home pages because it isn’t being pulled in at all. (The posts that appear in the slider are coming from a different location on the page, which would explain why they aren’t affected.)
So the issue is one of why ‘entry-content feat-content” is not appearing as it should be. Do you know what could be causing it?
Thanks again.

In reply to: [MesoColumn] Dollar sign ($) glitchThanks very much. That worked perfectly on both the home page and in the archive of two different installations and with different browsers.

In reply to: [WP No External Links] Problems with link maskingThanks.
FYI, it continues to have some problems with links that include subdomains (ex: alpha.example.com, beta.example.com, etc.) — clicking on those links leads to 500 errors. Not sure if there is anything that you can do about that, but my only workaround has been to exclude some of those links from masking, which was not what I had hoped to do.

In reply to: [MesoColumn] New theme: Category colors Top menuThanks for the prompt reply.
FYI, I couldn’t find a link to the FAQ — the previous theme included the link to the FAQ under Appearance > Theme Options, which no longer exists. However, I was able to find the FAQ by entering the domain name, followed by: /wp-content/themes/mesocolumn/faq.txt
For those who are interested, the category colors are now included for each individual category under Post > Categories.
Thanks again.
