Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Sydney] Menus disappearedThe original developer modified the theme. I installed a fresh Sydney and Child theme on our dev subdomain, so it is clean.
Same. Not all plugin developers are adhering to the recent Elementor update.
Deactivating plugins one-at-a-time, I found:
1. When I deactivate reCaptcha Pro, it eliminates two of the errors. Not a good sign, as reCaptcha Pro captures a lot of spam for our site.
2. Another plugin that was causing errors is an outdated plugin called “Custom Facebook Feed Pro Personal.” (We were already planning to replace this, so now it’s happening.)Also note that the error does not occur when I am logged in as administrator and have the admin bar at the top of the page.

In reply to: [Unique Headers] Plugin is throwing errorsThat was quick! Thanks!
I have installed the update.
Still trying to track down the cause of crashes. While the logs showed the crash subsequent to the Unique Headers error, it was an hour or more later.
Still, happy this is cleaned up. Thank you.Forum: Reviews
In reply to: [The Events Calendar] Excellent PluginThanks, Barry.
As I said, we love the functionality, and the layout gets the job done (which is what you were going for). We are using a purchased them (Church & Event from Vamtam), which we tweaked to be even more event-centric, thanks to the functionality provided by Events Calendar Pro, so it’s not bad.At some point, I would like to revisit usability and design of the event detail page and the /events/ page layouts. Our members are (slowly) moving towards RSVP and ticket purchases, which makes the staff happy!

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Track Multiple Forms with Google Analytics EventsHere’s the update on this:
You can easily track successful Contact Form 7 submits in Google Analytics using Google Tag Manager. This uses wpcf7mailsent, required 2017Contact Form 7 sends a custom JavaScript event (wpcf7mailsent) on successful form submission, and the form is identified in the Click URL variable, which, for forms, contains the form action property.
Create two tags and one trigger:
Tag 1 name: Contact Form 7 – Success Listener
Tag type: Custom HTML
HTML:<script type=”javascript”>
var wpcf7Elm = document.querySelector(‘.wpcf7’);
wpcf7Elm.addEventListener( ‘wpcf7mailsent’, function(event) {
dataLayer.push({‘event’ : ‘CF7formSubmitted’});
}, false );
</script>Triggering: All Pages (Page View)
Tag 2 name: Contact Form 7 – Success Submitted
Tag type: Universal Analytics
Track type: Event
Event Category: Form Submitted
Event Action: {{Click URL}}
Event Label: optional
Event Value: optional
Triggering: CF7 Form Submitted – cf7mailsentTrigger name: CF7 Form Submitted – cf7mailsent
Trigger type: Custom Event
Event name: CF7formSubmitted
Trigger fires on: EVENT matches CF7formSubmittedNote case sensitivity.
People with more free time can create more advanced reporting by adding the following:
- Variable (macro) with type JavaScript to extract Form code from {{Click URL}},
especially valuable if you have the same form appearing on multiple pages - Variable (macro) with type Lookup Table to translate form code into form name.

In reply to: [Pagely MultiEdit] Is This Plugin Still Supported/Active?OK, once I laid it out like that for you, I was able to test the syntax and can edit our multi-edit blocks!
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Dries
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Pagely MultiEdit] Is This Plugin Still Supported/Active?Thanks, Dries, AJ’s out this week, but I see something very different.
In the Main Index Template (index.php) and page.php, we see the following code:
<?php
/*
MultiEdit: Right
*/
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN” “https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd”>
<html>
<head>
<link href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/favicon.ico” rel=”shortcut icon” type=”image/ico” />For “internal page template” is similar code:
<?php /* Template Name: Internal MultiEdit: Right */ ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head>

In reply to: Google Analytics show porn site pages and trafficThis sounds more like spam than a hack to your website. We see this kind of spam more often in referring websites listings than in content listings. “Oh, look, semalt.com is sending us so much traffic…”
You can eliminate these spam entries from showing up by creating filters in Google Analytics admin to block these entries. You can block the spam pages showing up in your usage reports by creating a filter based on hostname.

In reply to: Can Not Write to Media Library (WP 4.1.1)Thanks, Tara, but I thought I was clear that setting the permissions back to 755 results in the upload capabilities no longer working.
Files uploaded (when permissions were 777), and folders created by WordPress functions show as having no owner. And “no owner” can’t add files to folders with 755 permissions.
The WordPress functions should inherit some authority, but no longer do now that we are running under 4.1.1.
There is something different in 4.4.1, and it isn’t working for us. It’s rendering many features unable to perform their duties. Not only can’t we upload media files, but our backup plugin can’t create files.

In reply to: WordPress 4.1.1 Media Button Broken Media Library BlankI am also unable to load media files subsequent to upgrading to WordPress 4.1.1. Getting the error: “file.png” has failed to upload due to an error
Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server?” — yes, it is 775.Per a “resolved” posting, I also get the message “XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.” when I open https://www.put-your-domain-name.here/xmlrpc.php”
I would also note that I was able to load media prior to upgrading to 4.1, and that I was NOT able to automatically upgrade to 4.1 — I had to FTP the zip file and upgrade manually.
My ISP claims that this is NOT their doing.
I have the same problem with a fresh plain vanilla version of WordPress 4.1.1 (with no plugins installed) that I loaded on our server.
Next steps?

I can not add media from the left side menu. I can only add media via FTP, and then have no access to the media library.

Any plans to add? Crawling the site is a frequent QA task for us.
