… and now, a good amount of time later, the email finally came through, never mind.

Found solution here (not in premium support!) – but still need help getting into premium support just in case ??

Working now, thanks.

Yes, all okay now, and I appreciate your plugin. This isn’t a situation that will come up often, regardless. I do wonder about the sporadic self-inflicted “stolen image” issue on my server but that’s probably some weird nginx/Apache/CPanel interaction.

Thanks. I did use the debugger and it persisted with the old values (I could also see it in the page source). Could be cacheing though I did flush caches first. Manually removing the data from the database fixed it. Maybe a one-off or “it’s my fault not yours” problem? The reason I had to do it in the first place was because a “this is a stolen image” graphic was stolen – though I don’t have any image controls! So my own configuration might be the issue. I’d ask for a “clear data” button but then you’d have to do user interface things and clutter it up…

Thanks for writing this, and thanks for letting me know what I saw isn’t what should be.

Well, this took a lot less time than I thought it would. I needed to move the database anyway (it was sitting outside CPanel’s setup), so I downloaded SQL, changed the engines (and database name) in BBEdit, and then shifted over from the old one to the new one in the config – so if anything went wrong, I could switch back in seconds. It worked perfectly and I think load went down ever so slightly already. I do see more disk space used but it’s a few megabytes, so no real problems.

THANK YOU for the clarifications and a fine tool.

Thanks for the updates. I’ll make the changes. I can spare the disk space, I think… I’ll check first!

I’m on the current CPanel version of MariaDB, I think it’s 10.6… I’ve been clever enough to avoid GoDaddy! but admit to one brief experience with… I can’t recall the name, similar outfit, but aimed at business, I think the word “One” was in their title, and they were great until the site went down and I was very glad I was just testing them out. I’ll pay extra for decent VPS! (I’ve come down in the world, used to run a nice dedicated server.)

Thanks. That explains it well. The answer to your question is that, when I made the move, (a) InnoDB databases couldn’t be recovered, (b) appeared to take up more disk space, and (c) required advance configuration to take up the right about of space, in my.cnf (and (d) was much slower in benchmarks the last time I looked). Also, shutting off InnoDB freed up memory on my limited VPS. From what you’re saying, maybe I should be moving over, regardless; and maybe what I thought was true is actually incorrect (which could well be the case).

Oops. Replacing functions.php entirely fixed it! The underlying issue was with REST. Thanks!!

Thanks. I checked for white space… (I went overnight to let my mind clear in case I was doing something really foolish.) Nothing there. I’ll try a new functions file, but I’ve already tried switching themes.

Never mind, increasing the number of characters fixed it, I’m guessing it truncated the “ !

I am on Yop Poll 5.8.3 pro and the Facebook and other pro features aren’t working … and there’s some odd behavior otherwise… so I’d like to try 6.0 and see if that helps.

Never mind, .65.1 fixed it.

Argh! Apparently I still have the problem. I tried adding this to the header, to no avail:

The tag ‘amp-auto-ads’ requires including the ‘amp-auto-ads’ extension JavaScript.

I am on .65 now…

(Marking as resolved)
