Hi. I have used this plugin to change the interval for wordpress backend heartbeat, and post editor to 300 seconds for each. However, when using Chrome developer tools to monitor the ajax requests from the site (for example when editing a post), I can see that the heartbeat interval is actually operating at 120 seconds. This seems to be different to the default 15s for WordPress at least but I can’t see why it is operating at 120s and not 300s?!

Are there any widely used plugins or settings that might be conflicting with this? Or any other good way to verify whether the set 300s interval is really working?

I have both the Heartbeat Control plugin and the Litespeed Cache plugin.

Lightspeed Cache Toolbox has it’s own Heartbeat control panel.

Both of these plugins are enabled, but each one has different settings from the other. Are they fighting? Which one has priority?

There is a php bug, that has to do with certain PHP and Server configurations. See this issue on github https://github.com/wp-media/wp-rocket/issues/2421

This means that the detection of editor pages might not work correctly on all setups. I fixed it for myself by replacing filter_input with filter_var.

Hello,

If it is activated, it seems it will prevent Woocommerce Action Scheduler migration, anyway to avoid such issue please?

Thanks

Hello!

Do I need to have installed WP ROCKECT to have this Heartbeat plugin activated?

Thanks!

At best, this plugin has slowed down my admin dashboard and my site. As soon as I deactivated it, it went back to normal speeds.

The plugin hasn’t been updated in over 6 months as of this comment. I think it’s dead and not supported anymore.

I am testing v2.0.1 to see if I can upgrade to PHP 8.1 or 8.2 from 8.0.

8.1 throws the following.

Warning: include_once(public_html/wp-content/plugins/heartbeat-control/vendor/cmb2/cmb2/includes/CMB2_Hookup.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in?/mnt/data/home/public_html/wp-content/plugins/heartbeat-control/vendor/cmb2/cmb2/includes/helper-functions.php?on line?44

I have been informed by Avada that the Live Builder function is being blocked by my installation of Heartbeart Control by Rocket. Please advise.

Probably after PHP upgrade to 8.2 (not completely sure, a few things changed) this module generates fatal error when using admin pages.

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: call_user_func_array(): Argument #1 ($callback) must be a valid callback, class “CMB2_Hookup” not found in /var/www/ideainc/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:324

It appears to be originating from /vendor/cmb2/cmb2/includes/CMB2_hookup.php file, in which the class is CMB2_Hookup (with capitalized “H”).

Solution: rename CMB2_hookup.php to CMB2_Hookup.php

The author might want to fix this.

I’m receiving many undefined array key “path” errors for heartbeat-control.

The path is  /wp-content/plugins/heartbeat-control/Heartbeat.php on line 82

return ( ‘/wp-admin/post.php’ === $this->current_screen[‘path’] );

Could you please help to fix it? Thank you!

Heartbeat Control currently has a conflict with BuddyBoss and is generating 500 errors. The 500 errors are not impacting the user on the front end, but they are generated in the error logs. I host on Kinsta and they show up in MyKinsta dashboard. The error includes: /wp-content/plugins/buddyboss-platform/bp-core/bb-core-native-presence.php

The last update of this plugin is 12/07/2021.

Is the plugin abandoned or are you going to update it?

WP Rocket is force to disable this plugin from dashboard

i am using 6.1.1 latest version of wordpress and latest version of heartbeat control plugin.

I have this error in my word press:

Deprecated: Required parameter $field_id follows optional parameter $type in /home/diets058/public_html/wp-content/plugins/heartbeat-control/vendor/cmb2/cmb2/includes/rest-api/CMB2_REST.php on line 693

How can I solve that? Any ideas?

There have been no updates recently.
This plugin throws *a lot* of deprecated php notices in the WP debug.log when using PHP 8.0+
The plugin author does not respond to Support questions.

edit with elementor doesn’t work when heartbeat is disabled for dashboard.

Activating Heartbeat makes it impossible to get to the plugins page or add a new page or post – WordPress just spins than my server timeout. Here’s my setup:

Great plugin!

I do, however, have a question regarding the Settings page.

If I look at the Console while on the Settings page, I get the following error…

The resource from “https://fast.wistia.com/embed/medias/s3jveyzr5h.json” was blocked due to MIME type (“application/json”) mismatch (X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff)
Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://fast.wistia.com/embed/medias/s3jveyzr5h.json”.

Why does the plugin need to go off-site to get the json file (as well as all of the off-site files called from within the json file)?

I haven’t noticed the json file called anywhere else, so the error only affects the Heartbeat Control settings page, but it makes me wonder if this error is keeping the plugin from actually saving the Heartbeat settings correctly.

Please look into this!

Please fix:

PHP Deprecated:  Required parameter $field_id follows optional parameter $type in .../wp-content/plugins/heartbeat-control/vendor/cmb2/cmb2/includes/rest-api/CMB2_REST.php on line 693

Hello! Please tell me how best to configure the “Heartbeat Control” plugin settings. My site is for news, constantly published or edited. We work 2 people in it. The site is quite busy. I found out about this plugin and its ability to lighten this load. But when I go into the settings, I don’t understand the difference between WordPress Dashboard, Frontend, Post editor. Please tell me what the three things mean and how best to set everything up to work properly and not cause me a problem, but rather help me.
My site: https://www.doxologiainfonews.com/

Hi, I haven’t enter to the settings page in a while, but today wanted to enter and it just shows that it is loading but nothing happens, the page never opens.
Im using WP 5.8.4 and Heartbeat Control v 2.0
any suggestions?
thank you

How can I fix this issue?

WP Rocket: The following plugins are not compatible with this plugin and may cause unexpected results:

Heartbeat Control by WP Rocket

Wp Rocket has a Heartbeat feature, with an option to reduce, or disable it completely.

How is this plugin different? Is it needed in addition to wp rocket plugin?
Thanks

You are calling the function get_plugins() too early: https://github.com/wp-media/heartbeat-control/blob/c50f8ccd5f5d43514557c07e1c13bddafcdcca89/Plugin_Card_Helper.php#L360

This function caches the results so any plugin or theme trying to filter those results after your call will fail. This function should be called ideally by the “after_setup_theme” hook: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/get_plugins/#comment-2862

Thanks,

Stiofan

These messages appeared in my debug log immediately after activating Heartbeat Control plugin. Is it actually working? No subsequent notices or warnings have appeared since.

I installed and activated Heartbeat. You say options are located within Settings > Heartbeat Control. But there is no Heartbeat Control under settings. It’s not there at all.

Any help would be appreciated.
