In reply to: [Simple Search Submission for IndexNow] Crawl requests after update@snecz did you get a chance to look in your logs for the phrase “IndexNow ping failed”?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Simple Search Submission for IndexNow] Crawl requests after updateAre you able to review your PHP logs for anything beginning with the text “IndexNow ping failed”.
It’s also possible you don’t need this plugin and can use the RankMath Instant Indexing feature. Depending on your settings both plugins may be sending a ping to IndexNow which could lead to errors in submission.

In reply to: [Simple Search Submission for IndexNow] Crawl requests after updateThanks, WP should treat undefined as productions. I’ll try and few things and see if I can break it on my site.
Are you able to copy the full site health debug info in to a reply here? A few items take a moment to load so you’ll need to wait until the spinners stop spinning on each section. Feel free to redact the paths up to your WP install if you wish, along with any other information you see that you might not wish to post publicly.

In reply to: [Simple Search Submission for IndexNow] Crawl requests after updateHi @snecz, I’m sorry you’re having trouble with the plugin, it should just start submitting URLs to IndexNow once the plugin is activated.
The plugin sends notifications to IndexNow when a post is published or updated on production sites. In your WordPress dashboard, are you able to go to Tools > Site Health > Info (tab at top of page) and review the WordPress Constants section? If
WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPEis set to anything other thanproductionthe plugin will not send notifications.Also, are you able to fill in the “Link to the page you need help with” field on this topic so I can see if there are any hints I can see while navigating your site?
Thanks,

In reply to: [Ads.txt Manager] ads.txt file – where is it generated fromThe ads.txt file can be edited within the dashboard in the Settings > Ads.txt menu. You need to enter the contents of the file manually using required format.
The file itself can be seen in the root directory of your site by visiting example.com/ads.txt. The file is not created on your server and is virtual in the same way the blog posts, pages and other content are in WordPress.

In reply to: [Classic Editor] Safari 18.0 Breaking Classic EditorI reached out to Jen Simmons on the Developer Experience team at Apple via Mastodon.
Jen has confirmed that the issue is due to a bug introduced in Safari 18 and a bug report has been filed on the WebKit bug tracker, see WebKit#280063. A minimal reproduction has been created by the WebKit team.

In reply to: [Ads.txt Manager] Where is the ads.txt file?By root directory of your site, they are referring to the URL rather than file location. So having the contents accessible at https://culturematters.com/ads.txt is meeting their expectations even though it’s dynamically generated rather than a actual file sitting on the server.

In reply to: [Ads.txt Manager] Where is the ads.txt file?@chrissmit, thanks for getting in touch.
The ads.txt and app-ads.txt URLs generated by this plugin are stored in the database similar to WordPress pages and posts. The files are not created so it’s expected that you can not see them when browsing the file listing on your server.
You can edit the contents of each in Settings > Ads.txt and Settings > App-ads.txt within the dashboard.

In reply to: [Simple Page Ordering] Move under [previous sibling]@devtat Thanks for getting in touch.
There isn’t an option to do so but you can add the following code to your theme’s
function.phpfile or in a dedicated file withinwp-content/mu-plugins.This will remove the new actions allowing you to modify the parent’s of a page.
<?php
add_filter( 'page_row_actions', 'devtat_spo_page_row_actions', 20 );
function devtat_spo_page_row_actions( $actions ) {
// Remove the move under sibling action item.
unset( $actions['spo-move-under-sibling'] );
// Remove the move under grandparent action item.
unset( $actions['spo-move-under-grandparent'] );
return $actions;

In reply to: soundcloud embeds stopped workingThanks @tazling, are you able to share the Soundcloud URL you are testing with? That will make sure I’m testing what you are seeing exactly.

In reply to: soundcloud embeds stopped workingHi folks, I just tested this after seeing the trac ticket and was able to embed successfully. I’m wondering if it was a temporary issue at Soundclound that has since been resolved.
Would someone be so kind as to test again to see if you’re still seeing the issue? You may need to do so in a new post as WP caches embeds in the post meta data.

Hi @adriantry
I’m an engineer at 10up and am working on a quick fix for this. Do you have a GitHub account I can use to ensure you get props for reporting this issue?
If you do have an account, you can link your ww.wp.xz.cn account to GitHub by editing your profile.
thanks,
