Hi LogoLogics,

There are no known issues with running the Sucuri Security plugin with PHP 7. It’s been unofficially tested by several team members here at Sucuri.

There are a couple of instances in the code where we check for safe_mode, however, we aren’t relying on it in any way. Since PHP 7 doesn’t support it, you won’t be using safe_mode and won’t have any issues with that.

Best of luck with your upgrade!

HI Krys10,

I would suggest that you use SMTP, rather than phpmail for your contact form. This will probably fix the issue. This is easy to implement with a plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/search.php?q=smtp I hope this helps!

Hi,

It’s most likely a problem with phpmail and your webhost. It’s an easy fix. You’ll just want to use an SMTP plugin, such as https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/easy-wp-smtp/. Then your site will send all mail through SMTP. I hope that helps!

Hi Fayaz,

Did you make any changes recently that could give us some clues about what might be causing the issue? You might try adding the following lines to your wp-config.php file:

‘define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://muslimweddingflight.com’);
define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘https://muslimweddingflight.com’);’

I would also check the permissions of your files and folders for your WordPress installation. Folders should be 755 and files should be 644. The permissions can be checked/changed using FileManager or FTP.

I hope this helps. Please post again if you need further assistance.

Hi,

Some of the methods require some extra work, like the wp-cli tools. You need to be able to ssh into your account. And I probably wouldn’t recommend you edit the database directly, as a newbie. The easiest method is editing the wp-config.php file by adding these lines (replacing example.com with your new domain):

define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://example.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://example.com’);

This should fix things well enough to login to your site (some links might be broken). From there you can install a plugin like Velvet Blues to fix any remaining issues with links to the old url https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/

You might also be able to reach out to your webhost for help. They might help you, or even make the change for you.

You’re welcome and I hope this helps. ??

Hi Pol,

WordPress is meant to be run in a web server environment, which can be configured on your local computer, if desired. This link might help you with getting started https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Getting_Started_with_WordPress

But, generally, I think you’ll want to be sure your environment supports WordPress. If you are running locally then https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Installing_WordPress_Locally_on_Your_Mac_With_MAMP (there are Windows versions, too). And then, you can login to your site’s Dashboard configure your site and create some content.

I hope this helps! Best of luck to you.

Hi Odette,

Are the new domain and subdomain in the same cPanel account? This is what I would suggest:

1. Remove the redirect from your new domain to the subdomain.
2. Copy the files for your WordPress site from the subdomain folder to the new domain folder. If you are in the same cPanel account, you won’t have to do anything special for the database.
3. Change the Site URL https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL
4. You can redirect the subdomain to the new domain.

Please reply if something is unclear or I’ve misunderstood. I hope this helps!

Hi,

My first thought would be a timeout. You could try optimizing your database using a tool like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/adminer/ or https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-clean-up/You might be surprised at how “untidy” a database can become.

Also, as ever, you can deactivate and remove unnecessary plugins. If you are still having issues, you can try deactivating all remaining plugins, reactivating one at a time and testing your site.

Finally, it could be an issue with mySQL services on your server. There’s not much you can do there except ask your host about recent mySQL outages.

I hope this helps!

Hi,

Did you try clicking on “Master Flush” in the SiteGround plugin?

You’re quite welcome. You can create country-specific IP lists and redirect based on the results in .htaccess. You can do something like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:IP2LOCATION_COUNTRY_SHORT} ^CN$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://google.com [L]

You can use this tool to create your rules https://www.ip2location.com/free/visitor-redirection

I hope this helps!

Hi,

I’m not seeing the error any longer at https://www.whynopadlock.com/check.php. Did you clear your browser cache? Or try loading the site in a different browser? Windows XP is no longer supported and might be the cause of the issue.

Hi,

With SSL issues I like to use this tool: https://www.whynopadlock.com/check.php. If you run a check on your site, you’ll see that a call to your FB like plugin is likely causing the issue. Different OS/browser combinations will evaluate this differently. I get a green check on Mac/Chrome.

I would suggest deactivating that plugin, clearing your browser cache and loading the site again. I hope this helps!

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood! Just change the above to do this instead:

#default index page
DirectoryIndex index.php

Hi hadouken,

You can make sure the index.html file loads by adding this to the top of your .htaccess file in the public_html directoriy:

#default index page
DirectoryIndex index.html

I hope this helps!

Hi Mike,

You’re welcome! What Google doesn’t like is visitors going to a domain and the site trying to show them content from another site (without the redirect being obvious in the address bar).

You can absolutely setup your redirect from the root domain https://www.mikeonsite.ca to a specific page: https://www.builtbymike.ca/mike-onsite-home-computer-service/. That means no extra typing…just visit https://www.mikeonsite.ca and get redirected to: https://www.mikeonsite.ca/mike-onsite-home-computer-service/ Just follow the directions in my original reply…that will do it. Do you have cPanel? That’s the easiest way to do it. You can also achieve the same thing by editing the .htaccess file directly, this can be a bit trickier. I hope this helps!
