Wp-admin area becomes innaccessible

Hi both,

Thanks for flagging this up to me. I’m not experiencing issues on my WordPress installs, but I’ll look into the issue and see if I can replicate.

Can you confirm if deleting the plugin and installing from scratch causes the same issue?

Hello there,

The best thing is to simply revert to the previous version before at this point? This has been a very useful plugin for us, sad to have to disable it until this is fixed. The front end of the website actually works, but the wp-admin is completely innacessible.

Is there a link somewhere where I can get the previous version? This is a big problem. Even on other sites I have and other servers, same thing.

Kind regards.

Hi Leo,

I’ve just added the previous version of the plugin to the Development section of WordPress.

Please visit this link: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-persistent-login/advanced/

Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and download version 1.3.18. This will give you the version you had before updating.

Thank you very much Luke!

This bug could potentially disrupt a lot of people’s websites. Hope it gets resolved. Meanwhile the best is to go back to the version before the update. It’s a great plugin and works great!

Why not release a new update with a reversal? I think a starting point to find out what is causing this, likely has to do with whatever was changed in the most recent update.

I don’t need additional support. I’m already following the thread. Everyone has the same issue. Why would I need to start a new thread?

I’m trying to discern from the plugin developer when an update will be pushed as the previous time frame has elapsed already and I for one have tens of sites effects by this.

Hi Harry,

Apologies for the delay in getting a fix out. I’ve been waiting on feedback from beta testers about the updated version of the plugin before pushing the update live.

An update will come this week.

Luke, thanks for all your hard work on an amazing time-saving plugin. ???? Happy to beta test.

@harryfear Reverting back to the previous version avoids this issue, fyi, if you’re still experiencing it.

I feel for some people out there. With this problematic update still available for update, some people may be having serious issues with their website if they update, and might not know why. It would be best not only to revert to the previous one, but to have a new update available that is actually a rolled backed on, instead of leaving this bad one there that can hit anyone anytime. ?? Just saying.

I have to agree with @leo1976 here. It’s great that a solution is being worked on, but this update took my sites down entirely. I agree that it would be best to roll back with an update so that no one else experiences this issue, even if a fix is near. It’s obviously affecting a significant number of sites based on the number of comments here.

100% agree with leo1976. If a new version can be pushed that hotfixes or rolls back the issue that would be ideal. WordPress latest auto-updates plugins to latest versions. This would help enormously.

Hi all,

I’ve just released a patch for the plugin. Do let me know if there are still issues with it.

Thanks all for your patience!

Hi all,

I’m going to mark this issue as resolved, if there are any issues with the latest version of the plugin, please open a new issue.

Thanks.
