Thanks for your speedy reply, much appreciated. I did think it used to work. Will eagerly await the update. Keep up the great work!

hi simpkyi.
sorry to hear you are having issues. If you are able to restart your server, I would assume you are able to either access the file manager via your hosting control panel and delete the plugin there or access via ftp and navigate to wp-content > plugins and remove the plugin there.

We’ve tested the plug-in on lots of different themes without problems. Could you let us know your theme and php version so we can test this?

Thanks.
Team WILO.

Do not do this. Very bad idea in terms of SEO. I can’t even think of a reason why your client would even want to do that – if content needs a category and/or tag, it’s best off as a post.

I fear it may play havoc with your site structure.

We are experiencing this issue too.
It’s happened across about 20 sites we look after and seems to be the larger plugins that get deactivated.

The issues we’ve experienced always seem to deactivate WooCommerce and The Advanced Custom Fields plugins.

What is interesting here is that both those plugins typically take longer to update (when done manually) due to their size of them.

WooCommerce is a 10MB plugin and ACF is somewhat smaller at 2.7MB – might be a complete coincidence, but it’s those two that typically get deactivated, and we’ve tracked the deactivation to the approx time of the update using EUM logs.

Hey kleigh,

Thanks for the feedback – sorry to hear you experienced some issues with the plugin.

Can I ask if they were ‘headers already sent’ errors you were getting?

We’re working hard to iron out any bugs in this plugin, so any detailed feedback you could give me would be awesome.

Thanks in advance.

Yes. This is checked.ALso, I am selecting drop down as the option but the plugin displays loads of checkboxes without labels.

What was the solution for this problem. I am now having this problem where it gets stuck at 100% whenever I use it.

This was happening on several of our sites using the WP Security Audit plugin – when running an out of date version of it.

Use this plugin to check what plugins might be blocking the loopback (the plugin lets you test each of your plugins individually.)

Once run, it showed the offending plugin.

Deactivated the plugin and the editor is now working fine.

Hope that might help someone!

You’re a star. Worked a treat.

Thanks!

HI Michael,

Thanks so much for the prompt response. Much appreciated.
I’ll take a look at the docs.

One quick question (that might save me a huge amount of time)

The actual issue with CMB on the site is that the Select2 drop down on some of the pages that our client used to choose a page from a pages & posts list is the element that no longer works.
They used to click this and be able to choose a page or post (via the dropdown, or by typing the page/post name to search) – the drop down then populated with the list of pages/posts so they can select one.

Any idea on a quick fix as to why this may have stopped?

I guess I could swap this out to a field where they manually have to paste in the URL rather than use the select2.

Dave

That sorted it. Perfect.

Thanks so much for the quick response.

The correct page can be seen on both

/category/team/

and /team/

if the address is entered in the browser. But the link we are using in the menu is just the team category link in Appearance > Menus. Using this link, the archive is either archive.php or category-32.php (when that file is added as a template).

with category-32.php removed and archive-team.php added, the page uses archive.php

Resaved the permalinks, no effect.

Thanks,

That’s now working, using archive.php

but still not working using archive-team.php (my custom post type slug)

however it does work using the category ID, in my case category-32.php

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply.

Did some more reading on this and I have now added archive-post-type-slug (in my case it’s archive-team.php).

Visiting the category (via the admin > custom post type name in left menu > categories > view category), still just takes me to the archive.php template with the ‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria’.

Has Archive set to True in the settings.

It’s like WP is ignoring the archive-team.php template.

I feel like I am missing something obvious. Do I need a specific query_posts in the archive-team.php or anything added to functions.php ?

Thanks for your speedy reply – much appreciated.

Update – actually, we’re not using it on this site as its one of our own.
