Post 5.0.3 Issues persist — form dead and Admin broken

1. What is the URL when you click on the Site Reviews > Tools page? It should look like this:

/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=site-review&page=tools

2. I suspect there may be a plugin conflict here. Since you are unable to load the Tools page to view the Site Reviews System Info, please go to the WordPress Tools > Site Health page, click the Info tab, then click the “Copy site info to clipboard” button and send it to site-reviews [at] geminilabs [dot] io

3. Once I get that I will be able to help further.

It’s also possible that the auto-update timed-out or did not complete correctly.

Please also try the following:

1. Deactivate and delete Site Reviews (if you can delete the plugin folder directly that’s even better). Your reviews will remain safe.
2. Install Site Reviews as a new plugin.

Also, loading your webpage it shows that it is trying to load:

/wp-content/plugins/site-reviews/plugin/assets/scripts/site-reviews.js?ver=5.5.1

When it should be this:

/wp-content/plugins/site-reviews/assets/scripts/site-reviews.js?ver=5.0.3

I am not able to reproduce this.

Can you think of any reason why the URL would be changed like that? Perhaps you have a plugin that “optimises” or minifies your scripts? Something is definitely changing it, particularly since the ?ver= parameter is showing the WordPress version instead of the Site Reviews version.

Is correct. Going to FLush all cache again. delete the CriticalCSS rules, etc. will let you know in a couple of minutes

If you are getting a “This has been disabled” when you try to view a Site Reviews admin page, you also should look into any login or security plugins that may be causing it.

If you have deleted and reinstalled a fresh copy of Site Reviews and still have the problem, the best way to track down the cause is this:

Tossing it over to the Developer. His belief is that plugin is not enqueueing properly. Because,
A) Deleted the plugin
B) Put Cloudflare in development mode caching disabled.
C) Deleted CriticalCSS rules
D) Put exceptions for the JS into Autoptimize so it would not minify, defer, etc.
E) Cleared all AO cache again and checked that CCSS rules for page were still deleted
F) Reinstalled plugin from ZIP
G) Triple checked all cache clear between CloudFlare & Autoptimize.
H) Reactivated Plugin.
I) Still getting the ?ver=5.5.1 reference on both JS & CSS elements of your plugin.

now onto steps (jk), and the inside jk for me is that Friday has become Monday somehow ??

Will have the Developers do a deeper dive on Monday — we’re fighting a bigger fire at the moment on a different site.

Thanks for the help so far.

V5.0 uses the same code as the previous versions for enqueuing the plugin assets.

If the developer is interested, he can see how it is done here:

1. This is where the wp_enqueue_scripts hook is added
https://github.com/pryley/site-reviews/blob/master/plugin/Hooks.php#L119

2. This is the method run by the wp_enqueue_scripts hook
https://github.com/pryley/site-reviews/blob/master/plugin/Controllers/PublicController.php#L19-L26

3. This is where the wp_enqueue_script function is called, you can see here that Site Reviews adds it’s own version number to the URL (i.e. ?v=5.0.3)
https://github.com/pryley/site-reviews/blob/master/plugin/Commands/EnqueuePublicAssets.php#L44-L50

4. And this is where Site Reviews uses the plugin_dir_url function to build the asset URL
https://github.com/pryley/site-reviews/blob/master/plugin/Plugin.php#L178-L186

If you have a staging website and can provide the details, I would be happy to take a look for you in this case.

I have exact the same issue as described by haslamjj.

Scripts and styles (front and admin) are pointing to non existing locations (site-reviews/plugin/assets/) and therefore the plugin doesn’t function as it should and not all admin-pages can be rendered.

<link rel='stylesheet' id='site-reviews-css' href='https://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/site-reviews/plugin/assets/styles/default.css?ver=5.5.1' type='text/css' media='all' />

<script type='text/javascript' src='https://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/site-reviews/plugin/assets/scripts/site-reviews.js?ver=5.5.1' id='site-reviews-js'></script>

I’ve installed a fresh download of the plugin. I’m not using any other plugins. Theme is Twenty Twenty.

@emazing Would you have a staging website that I could access to figure out what is going on? If so, please contact me at site-reviews [at] geminilabs [dot] io or use the chatbox on niftyplugins.com

If not, then would you try the following:

1. Install the Blackbar plugin
2. Install the Code Snippets plugin
3. Add the following snippet and set it to “Only run in administration area”:

add_action('admin_init', function () {
    if (function_exists('glsr')) {
        // get the main plugin file path so we can compare this with the URL
        $pluginFile = glsr()->file;
        // get the main plugin file URL
        $pluginUrl = plugin_dir_url($pluginFile);
        $assetPath = 'assets/scripts/'.glsr()->id.'.js';
        // Log the details in the Blackbar console
        apply_filters('console', [
            'plugin_file' => $pluginFile,
            'plugin_url' => $pluginUrl,
            'plugin_version' => glsr()->version,
            'asset_path' => $assetPath,
            'asset_url' => glsr()->url($assetPath),
        ]);
    } else {
        apply_filters('console', 'The Site Reviews plugin was not found.');
    }
});

Once you have done that, you should see this:

Please copy and paste that in an email and send to the email address I posted above (do not post it here).

@emazing @haslamjj

1. Have you had a chance to do the above, if so, what were the results?
2. Is your site a WordPress Multisite?

I have tracked down the bug which was due to Site Reviews running on a Windows IIS server where directory separators (slashes) are opposite to UNIX directory separators, and Site Reviews not accounting for this when manipulating a file path.

This will be fixed later today in an update.

If you can’t wait for the update, you can manually patch the plugin like this:

Edit the following file: site-reviews/plugin/Plugin.php

Replace line 50 from this:

$this->file = str_replace('plugin/Application', $this->id, (new ReflectionClass($this))->getFileName());

To this:

$file = wp_normalize_path((new ReflectionClass($this))->getFileName());
$this->file = str_replace('plugin/Application', $this->id, $file);

Fixed in v5.1.4

Thanks for the quick update!
