Wasn’t going to come back as I figured it wasn’t worth the argument with the developer. I have 25 years in IT, have used WordPress since version 3. something, so I know how to debug and so forth.

First, make sure your client isn’t being blocked on the server side. My hosting has mod security, and because of this issue with the reloads the hosting detected it as a security issue and blocked the IP. Looking at your plugins, besides ASE, not a single one of those are the same as me, and after my testing, it isn’t another plugin doing it. I am also using the Blocksy Pro theme.

I got as far as finding out that there is supposed to be some script before the reload that determines showing the pinkish error page, but when I had the issue, it was not in the source. Only the window.reload script was there, which of course causes the constant reloading. Just haven’t worked out why the rest of the script wasn’t there. I believe that some very specific situation happened that caused the page to load without the rest of the scripts for the error page, and then browser cache takes over for a moment, ASE blocks the IP, then hosting blocks it and so forth. Snowball effect.

i solved mine by disabling the blocking in ASE, had my hosting techs constantly removing my blocked IP on the hosting, then me clearing CloudFlare cache and browser cache a few times and then I managed to get the login page to load again. I then did a successful login, and so far have been able to turn ASE blocking back on with no problems since. But after now seeing others having and issue, I am no longer confident mine will stay working now.

That is the code.

How does that NOT continuously reload the page? There is no conditions to stop the reload.

If I go to a page with that code in it its going to reload the page, wheich then sees that code again, and reloads the page, over and over and over.

Exactly what it was doing.

First, I dont like being called a lying. Its also not good for business.

With YOUR plugin turned on, there was a window.location.reload() script immediately after the title.

I have NO other plugins that touch the homepage.

After ONLY turning of Limit Logins. the Script was there again. I even replicated to make sure.

The IP used was blocked by Limit Logins, and when turned on, I got the constant reloading the Login page.

After turning it OFF, I got the actual login page to load.

In terms of the licensing and Multisite, I found this page…

https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/license-keys-and-wordpress-multisite/

(Relevant pre Purchase information hidden in documentation)

Problem is, is that its not crystal clear.

I have 1 Multisite install, with 3 subsites.

1. Primary: tyneesha.com
2. resume.tyneesha.com
3. neesh.photography

So I have main site, then a subsite as a subdomain and another subsite with its own seperate domain.

You say in the documentation that the license is per plugin folder. Which I have only 1 of course.

But you imply that I activate the plugin network wide. Only thing is, I dont need the plugins under resume.tyneesha.com.

So am I able to activate on tyneesha.com and register there, then activate and use also under neesh.photography? eaving resume.tyneesha.com without the plugins?

Never had the pro version and was always kept up to date.

Have ALWAYS used the shortcodes on the site, only switching because of making our process of posting more automated.

Feeling very dupped at the moment, and we were considering buying 3 of your other plugins but am very reluctant to right now.

Very annoyed about having to fork out more money, ONLY because of rebuilding a website. Not being informed clearly about the change, and having the information that shortcodes are now a paid feature being hidden within documentation, is very deceiving.

I am now going to go to my client and basically sound like a scammer, asking for more money for something they already had. I know they will not be happy about being backed into a corner over this.

Also (and this goes for most paid plugins), when you have pricing on your website stating 1 or 3 or unlimited sites, please be crystal clear. I have 1 site. A WordPress Multisite. I then run 3 domains under that. So is the license per domain or per WordPress install?

Since when???

I have been using the shortcodes on tyneesha.com for many years. And use the shortcodes there.

At the moment, as you can tell by the URL, we are rebuilding on a staging site and now it doesn’t work?

Here is that same post on the old site, USING SHORTCODES for all Series info placement:
https://tyneesha.com/blog/all/music/critiquing-albums-like-i-could-make-anything-better-positive-spin-by-gretta-ray/

We were considering paying for it as we also were looking at a few other PublishPress plugins we like, but I am now not to sure. The fact this information is hidden within the documentation indicates a bit of sneakiness and I really dont like it when business’s are not upfront, and especially hate it when business screw around with their long time customers.

PS: I have already tried another shortcode, specifically one for Modula Galleries, and it works fine.

Not sure I even care anymore.

I have been doing some optimizing on my site speed, and found that with the Instagram block I get around 3.5-4s page load. If I just remove the Instagram block, I get 1.5-2s loads.

I understand that it would be communicating with Instagram, but the plugins I have used in the past for similar blocks, I have had options to mitigate the loading, like caching and even a setting to say how often it will check Instagram (like every 6 hours).

Yours has not options at all for me to try to tweak a balance of updating the Instagram feed, and load times.

These tests are on a 100% clean site. I have Blocksy, Spectra and thats about it. I am working on content at this point and not started on the plugins I will need.

First, You need to clarify. I pointed out 2 problems.

Secondly, your support team took 3-4 attempts to actually follow my precise instruction and can replicate the issue. As stated, Instagram block, as a carousel in a widget area. Do not deviate from those instructions as all other variations work fine.

Ticket number is #52097

i ding understand how you cannot see the problems I reported. These are happening in a brand new clean WordPress install with only Blocksy theme.

i even shared the url. If this the response I get, I suppose no point in offering this for my clients then. I can give my clients broken plugins that need manual corrections for basic issues.

Page Error is:

There has been a critical error on this website.
Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.

Happens on ANY page that has a podcast attached, we use the HTML5 Player With Album Art.

Adn we have Posts->add New where we have a written post, with then an embedded player of the matching podcast. Been like this for nearly 2 years.

I enabled debugging and noticed errors between Yoast and SSP. Yoast hadn’t been updated for nearly a month, SSP was recently updated and specifically mentioned changes in regards to Yoast compatibility. The previous version of SSP works perfectly.

At this point, we preferred to have working Podcasts, so have disabled the Yoast Plugin to get things working. Disabling either SSP or Yoast fixes the problem.

Sorry to say, but we cannot wait any longer to get this sorted out.

We have a new podcast series to set up and currently, this plugin is broken in that regard.

Time to find a replacement plugin.

Still having the issue.

Latest versions. Always kept up to date.

Wordpress 5.9 (thought I noticed the issue before I updated)
SSP 2.10.0

Also not too sure how long the problem has been there, we were only running a single series of podcasts, and now we are needing to create a new series, so now I have noticed the issue while trying to set it up.

Have worked out that if I manually enter the URL’s it works but I cant save, any changes made saves to the default feed.

But the code for the links to each Series Feed Settings looks like this:

<ul id="feed-series-list" class="subsubsub series-open">
<li><a href="/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=podcast&page=podcast_settings&tab=feed-details&feed-series=default" class="">Default feed</a></li><li>
 | <a href="/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=podcast&page=podcast_settings&tab=feed-details" class=""></a>
</li>
<li>
 | <a href="/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=podcast&page=podcast_settings&tab=feed-details" class=""></a>
</li>
</ul>
