[Meta Slider] Settings are not saved anymore

Thanks for reporting this @matthieulllrc

Can you please try this pre-release version to see if it solves the issue for you? https://app.box.com/s/ohaatmao4ak7hd9patzpugdnw7qh6biu

Thank you Steve!

I will get back to you as soon as possible.
It may be a couple of weeks.

If you prefer, we can do the follow up on the other thread:

Sorry for the duplicate, I did not see the original one.

Best regards.

Thanks @matthieulllrc

That pre-release version has been officially released now.

Hello Steve

Sorry for the delayed answer, I was on holidays.

Thank you for the plugin update.
Sadly, it does not fix the issue.

I also tried deinstalling and reinstalling.
The issue remains.

Best regards.

Hi @matthieulllrc

This is a unique problem that we’ve not had reported by anyone else. Can you try some debugging:

– Does it happen on a second site?
– Does it happen if you change PHP versions?
– Does it help if you disable other plugins?
– Are there any error in your error log or browser console?

Hello Steve

Is it not the same problem that is reported in this thread?
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/metaslider-not-saving-changes/

– I will try on another site and get back to you
– I have no control over PHP version, it is PHP 7.2.24
– the problem remain even when all the plugins are disabled
– There are no errors in the browser console. I do not have access to the server logs.

Best regards.

Hi @matthieulllrc

7.2 might be an issue here. That version of PHP was end-of-life two years ago and it’s worth testing an up-to-date alternative.

Hello Steve

I understand.

I’ll talk to our web server admin.

Thank you.

Best regards.

Hello Steve

I tried metaslider on another website with the same php version (7.2.24) and the same theme (Fluida) and metaslider works.

So the issue is not caused by the php version or the theme.

Very strange!

Any ideas?

Best regards.

Hi @matthieulllrc

In these situations, it’s often just a case of patient testing and debugging. Focus your testing on things that are different from your other test site.

Hello Steve

Thank you, I will.

Best regards.

Hello Steve

While testing, I think I found something that might help understand why saving does not work.

I was trying to see if I could resolve the problem by erasing all slideshows.
So I exported, erased and reimported the slideshows one by one.

I was surprised by the fact that the dimensions were reset when reimporting slideshows.
I tried changing the default values and I got these errors in the browser console:

GET https://ici.radio-canada.ca/projets/wp-json/metaslider/v1/settings/slideshow/defaults/save/ 404

POST https://ici.radio-canada.ca/projets/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 400

MetaSlider (settings-save-error): {data: 0, status: 400, statusText: '', headers: {…}, config: {…},?…}

MetaSlider:  (400)

Hope this can help.

Best regards.

Hello Steve

It seems our problem is not with Metaslider.
Gutenberg does not work either.
I think it might be a server config issue.

Thank you for your time.

When I find the source of the problem, I’ll update this thread in case it can be useful for other people.

No worries, @matthieulllrc. Thanks for letting us know.

Hello Steve

Good news!
We have found (almost) the source of the problem:

Our site is behind Akamai.
We tried accessing the website directly and metaslider works.

So now we know that it’s something in the Akamai config, either for the cache or for the Web Application Firewall.

When we find the specific cause, I’ll update this thread.

Best regards.
