Thank you!

Same problem here … Hiding back-end breaks plugins. Thanks.

I am having the same problem … calling /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php returns an error.

Hi Pali,

After going back and forth with my hosting company, looking at it from every possible angle, we determined that it was a problem with www.ads-software.com’s servers. Very frustrating, esp when people on the forums here will assure you it has nothing to do with WP’s servers. I politely disagree.

You can manually update your site. However, if you have many sites, you might just want to wait a few hours, or a day, to run your updates.

Good luck.

Hi kmessinger,

Thanks for your reply. The hosting company has already tried increasing the available disk space, as well as increasing PHP timeout values. These seem to be to two most common solutions. However, they didn’t work. Do you have any suggestions that I can pass along to them?

Thanks!

@esmi – I’ve posted a new topic related to this here …

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/error-updating-core-wordpress-38-and-plugins-pclzip_err_bad_format-10?replies=1#post-5136945

After 36 hrs of testing, my hosting company believes this is a wordpress issue. I tend to agree with them …

This was the response from my hosting company after working on it for the past 36 hours …

This issue with updates for plugins failing on wordpress seems to be popping up a lot more in recent days from what I have seen. So far it looks to only affect modern installs 3.7.1 or newer. We’re still looking into whether there is a server side issue, but since I’ve noticed this on other servers as well, I’ve been wondering if there is a bit of an issue with wordpress itself. We are however still looking to see if we can come up with a workaround to get this running.

@esmi – … and, here I thought I was being helpful by providing additional data on a problem that nobody seems to be able to solve.

I’m having the same problem. Initially, WordPress provided me with the following error:

————Start—————-

The package could not be installed.: PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

————-End——————-

Now, WordPress is providing the following errors:

————Start—————-

I am having the same problem. Has a fix been found?

Thanks for bringing up this issue. Issue #2 is also very important to our website. It would be greatly appreciated if the menu item could remain while restricting the first item.

I’m having the same issue. After implementing the code above, this is what was returned …

Thanks, this helped greatly!

Yes, yes, I should have just directed them to this post. The guy had posted 3-4 times over the past year and just wanted to make sure he saw there’s a possible answer.

I was having the problem of centering the shortcode. I’m not sure if it will apply to the widget, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction..

First, it’s important to note that the shortcode constructs an iframe that has a width of 1000px. My site is 1000px wide, so the iframe stretches across the entire site. I’ve not found a way to format (i.e. center) the contents within the iframe, or the width of the iframe using CSS. Every time you refresh the page, the div ID for the iframe changes. So, no matter what you put in the CSS file, it will never match the next instance of the iframe being served.

So, how do you solve this … you wrap it in a table. You shrink the area allotted to the iframe.

———————————————————

< td width=40% | td width=20% (iframe output) | td width=40% >

———————————————————

Here are the steps I followed:

1) FIND /wp-content/plugins/oa-social-login/includes/user_interface.php
2) SEARCH for the following:

$output [] = ‘<div class=”oneall_social_login”>’;

3) REPLACE with the following:

$output [] = ‘<table width=”100%”><tr><td width=”40%”>?</td><td width=”20%”><div class=”oneall_social_login”>’;

4) SEARCH for the following:

$output [] = ‘</div>’;

5) REPLACE with the following:

$output [] = ‘</div></td><td width=”40%”>?</td></tr></table>’;

I hope this works for you, or at least points you in the right direction.
