Actually, according to Google the reason reCaptcha v3 supposedly works without user input is that their algorithms track this script’s interactions through all pages/posts on the site to best determine whether any potential spammer is a real human or a bot.

It operates similar to Google’s analytics script. Therefore, it must be loaded up on every single page/post to work correctly.

At least, that’s the propaganda they’re peddling to promote the proliferation of this additional tracking tool. It seems we now need anti-Google tools for our anti-spam tools.

Hence, the major pushback from users wishing for a less intrusive, more streamlined anti-spam measure like reCaptcha v2.

I still think CF7 should allow users to choose which version of reCaptcha to use with this plugin. A simple conditional check made through a checkbox in the settings would do the job nicely. –Until Google unavoidably depreciates v2, that is.

Encountered this error on a fresh LEMP stack (php 7.2) with a clean WordPress install–no Posts. (btw, no Jetpack either)

This fix removed the error.

Thanks

5.0.2 gives the same error message and won’t let me activate it. I’m running WordPress on an nginx server if that helps. Therefore, no htaccess.

Reverted back to 4.8.0 and everything is as it should be.

Great plugin,
Chad

Yeah,
You’re right. I wasn’t thinking linearly. It’s just hard to fathom the insane number of cache folders/sub-folders that accumulate on a forum site. Their presence shouldn’t impact performance at all, I just like to clean out the rubble once in awhile. And, as you said, doing it manually (or by cron) is always an option.

My initial post was in haste–I incorrectly thought that the files weren’t being removed as well.

Thanks,
Chad

No errors in the logs. I’m not using the entire plugin as I cache pages with nignx fastcgi-caching.

However, minification (manual) and browser/object/database caching are seemingly working without issues.

I’d been using a github variation of w3tc called w3tc-fix to correct php7.0 errors and other outdated code. Even vanilla w3tc 9.4.5 had worked with only a couple of minor code changes (Google for w3tc php7 compatibility solutions).

My initial point was that Frederick Townes has most likely spent hundreds(?) of hours coding this update and we can’t possibly expect everything to work correctly for everyone.

And as most of the million+ users of w3tc aren’t paying a dime for its use, we should be patient while FT addresses these problems.

If you run a commercial site it is strongly advisable that you never install major theme/plugin updates without first checking support forums like these for potential crisis events.

Good luck Mr. Townes.

Same here.

With a fresh install of wordpress and the latest bbpress and the latest shield all the dashboard forum buttons/access are removed immediately upon activation of shield.
Once I deactivate shield the bbpress dashboard/functionality reappears.
None of the settings in shield alter this while active. Only deactivating the plugin fixes the issue.

Just letting you know,
Chad

Don’t know about Apache. However, I’m running an Nginx server multisite (sub-directory) with individual (non-wildcard) ssl certificates for each domain without too many problems.

Had to put in strong redirect/rewrites to force https across each domain and had to create multiple server blocks in the nginx configs to direct each domain to its own certificate.

I’m getting ‘A+’ on SSLLabs test for each site with only occasional glitches due to WordPress database wonkiness and how it distributes plugins/uploads throughout the network (sometimes it uses the complete domain urls with sub-directories just to mess with me).

It’s takes time, lots of freakin’ time. And patience–don’t forget patience.

Good luck,
Chad

BTW, I had never heard of the plugin before today–stumbled across this post looking for other CDN related issues.

Pagination can be handled simply or complex depending on the theme/plugin.

I’m actually not very happy with the way LCP handles it (the permalinks are ugly, to say the least) so I ended up reverting back to a theme integrated page.

I think LCP works great for simple lists, widgets, and when you need to insert a list inside another theme/plugin shortcode.

Most themes handle multiple page lists better–but, they may require “finessing” when using custom taxonomies and custom post types.

Good luck,
Chad

Sorry, this was how I fixed my issues.

Since I’ve started screwing around with WordPress more intensely I realize how overly dependent on plugins like LCP I became.

WordPress provides exceptional native support for 99% of what LCP does. Allbeit with a little hands on coding.

If you have a decently supported/documented theme I find that creating a custom page/post template and using WP_QUERY is easier to customize than trying to get someone else to fix their plugin issues first and then customizing on top of that.

LCP provides a great leap off point for beginners, but it has grown to be overly complex. And, with multiple coders now working on it what little support we get is usually incomplete.

Good luck,
Chad

–Have you tried different permalink options within WP settings? I’m using Post name (pretty!) permalinks.

The documentation is unclear that you must include the “instance” parameter.

try this:

[catlist -assorted parameters go here- pagination=yes instance=1]

This allows multiple lists per page, each with separate pagination. But, apparently without a declaration of instance the pagination goes nowhere.

Good luck,
Chad

The documentation is unclear that you must include the “instance” parameter.

try this:

[catlist id=475 orderby=title order=asc numberposts=6 pagination=yes instance=1]

Have the same issue as Eric3D, it would be much less “messy” in the css to have an inside element.

But, I am willing to work around anything you finally decide. Ultimately, it’s 6 of one and half dozen of the other.

Chad

The css on this page is seriously messed up.

Unfortunately, by not allowing a <span> element inside the

<li> element we won’t be able to properly style that element as the other pages have an <a> element inside that can be modified independent of the
<li> element.
Therefore, without an internal element only the font/text can be different than the remaining “buttons”.

If you redesign the code as:
<li><span class='lcp_currentpage'>current_page</span></li>

Then we can modify the entire element (width, height, background color, border) independent of the </li> element and the other “buttons”.
Thanks,
Chad

Just realized that my “Thanks for a great plugin” comment might have sounded insincere. Far from the case.

I really do enjoy the convenience of LCP and have used it for many years. So much easier than using wp_query inside a php template.

So once again, Thanks for a great plugin:-)

Chad

I’m using try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?q=$uri&$args; instead.

Still don’t understand why a security update for this plugin broke what’s been working fine for months.

Thanks,
Chad
