Expanded Fronts

Hello,

This should be fixed with the latest update, please check and let me know if you run into any further issues.

Also, Revisr is intended to work with the WordPress installation being in the same directory as the .git folder. While it should work within subfolders, if you continue to experience issues it may be worth testing with it installed in the same repository.

Hello,

Even if the git settings aren’t applied to your Git repository, the settings are still saved through the WordPress settings API, which is why you’re seeing the message indicating that they were saved successfully.

More advanced error handling for detecting issues on the Git side of things is something that is currently being worked on and will be addressed in the next release.

Also, can you please confirm the location of the .git folder?

Feel free to email support at expandedfronts.com if you’d like us to take a closer look.

Thanks for the info. Will try to replicate your environment and issue as this is the first I’ve heard of it.

Hello,

When you mention that you put all untracked files in the staging area, could it be that you’ve put them in the unstaged section instead? I only ask because all files should be added to the staging area by default on the new commit screen, and you should only have to unstage files that you don’t want committed.

If this is not the case, can you please provide more details about the environment, such as:

– The type of server it’s installed on
– The version of git (can be found by running “git version” from command line)
– If you’re able to commit/push files from command line
– Does Revisr give you any errors on the dashboard page?

Hello,

Have you entered in the settings for the Remote Name and Remote URL? These are required to push any changes, and since a Git Pull does not resolve the issue it looks like the authentication is failing.

You can find these settings by going to Revisr > Settings.

If you haven’t changed the name of the remote, it will likely be “origin”.

The “Remote URL” field supports both HTTPS and SSH. If you’re using HTTPS, you will need to provide the password in the URL like so:

https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@REPO_HOST/USERNAME/REPO.git

Obviously replacing “USERNAME” and “PASSWORD” with the username and password for the remote repository, and “REPO_HOST” for github.com or bitbucket.org.

If you’re using SSH, you will need to generate the SSH key on the server that the repository is installed on and add it to Bitbucket/Github.

Let me know if you run into any further issues or feel free to email support at expandedfronts.com if you would like us to take a closer look.

Thank you.

Marking this as resolved as it was an authentication issue. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks!

Thank you for your patience on this issue. Can you also confirm the following:

– Is PHP exec() and passthru() enabled on the server? (even if safemode is off, suhosin could be blocking these functions)
– Are you using the fully managed VPS with cPanel, or is it your own setup?
– Does the issue occur when the remote URL is set to both HTTPS and SSH?
– Does “git fetch” work in command line/ssh?

Also, feel free to send an email to support at expandedfronts.com if you’d like us to take a closer look.

Thank you.

Also, are you using something like WAMP on a local Windows environment, or is it set up on a Linux server?

Marking this as resolved as it appears to be working for you, but please let me know if you run into any further issues and I’ll be glad to help out.

Thank you.

Hello,

Can you please confirm if the “Remote Name” has been set in your settings?

This should be “origin” by default in most repositories, unless you have changed this or added additional remotes.

Where was the repository cloned from?

Hi Ben,

Just sent an email. Glad you like it!

Also, please let me know the version of MAMP as well.

Sorry for all of the questions, but we need as much information as possible to diagnose as it isn’t actually an issue with Revisr but is dependent on the environment. Revisr was primarily built for Linux, but we’d love to support as many environments as possible.

Hi Tommy,

Can you please let me know the following:

– The version of Git you’re running
– The version of OSX
– How you installed Git (where you downloaded it)
– Where is your remote?
– Does the issue happen with a fresh repository, an existing one, or both?
– I know you said you were able to push via terminal, but can you please confirm if this was for the actual repository that you’re setting up with Revisr?
– Does the branches list to the right populate with any branches after commenting out the lines in your envvars and restarting MAMP?

Also, please try making a commit and pushing to any remotes through command line if you haven’t already.

Where is Git installed on your computer? Did you download it directly from Git and install? Or was it installed via command line tools?
