Small Hiccup Which May Affect Some Sites (And the Solution)
-
I witnessed some odd behavior of the request system on a user’s website and had, at first, attributed it to something to do with the theme or some other plug-in they were using. The request list would come up fine, but clicking on a request did nothing. It didn’t produce an error, nor did it return any error.
While fiddling around with my local test environment, I accidentally produced the same results on my own local test site. This is good because it allowed me to identify exactly what’s happening. If you have your SAM Host configured as 127.0.0.1 or localhost, SAM seems to get a little confused.
The solution to this is to make sure you configure the plug-in with the actual internet IP address of the SAM Host. If you are acting as your own web server, your router will still bounce the request right back to your own system, so this will not increase actual bandwidth use or performance.
