Getting exactly the same since the last update v1.9.176

Took my whole site down. ??

Thank you. It was a problem with SlimSEO trying to parse the shortcode for the registration page. For anyone else that experiences the same problem, SlimSEO have a support page on how to resolve it, by telling SlimSEO to skip parsing of certain shortcodes.

https://docs.wpslimseo.com/slim-seo/troubleshooting/

Thank you – that was it.

WIth further troubleshooting I discovered that upon enabling the Slim SEO plugin, the problem appeared. I will contact them now.

Thanks.

Thank you. Through a process of elimination and testing after disabling every plugin, and finally changing the theme to a standard WP one, it seems to be a conflict with the GeneratePress theme. I’ll contact them to see what they say.

So I’ve got something to help them, can you tell me briefly how the registration form works once you press the Register button? Does it hide the form and show the Registration Successful message via Javascript and submit the form via an AJAX request? Anywhere they should look particularly for conflicts?

I’ve subsequently seen that when email activation is enabled for free accounts (which is what I’m using), after submitting the registration form a message should appear automatically telling the user to check their email and follow the instructions to activate their account.

I’m not seeing that. After submitting the form, the page simply refreshes showing the same form filled in with the users details (minus passwords).

Any ideas?

Thanks Jeff. I had a bit of time today to attempt something myself, and came up with the below shortcode function. The coding isn’t up to your standards, but it works ok for my purposes until an official solution:

add_shortcode('sdc_list', 'sdc_download_list');

function sdc_download_list($atts) {
    $a = shortcode_atts( [
        'cat'           => '',
        'num'           => 5,   /* num of downloads to show in list */
        'extra'         => 'no',    /* show select menu for more downloads yes/no */
        'select_text'   => 'Select more...'
    ], $atts );

    if (empty($cat)) {

        return __('No Download Category', 'simple-download-counter');

    }

    $args = [
        'post_type'        => 'sdc_download',
        'post_status'      => 'publish',
        'tax_query'        => [
            [
                'taxonomy' => 'sdc_download_category',
                'field'    => 'slug',
                'terms'    => $a['cat'],
            ],
        ],
        'order'            => 'DESC',
        'orderby'		   => 'date',
        'posts_per_page'   => -1,
    ];

    $my_query  = new WP_query( $args );
    $downloads = $my_query->posts;

    $output = '<ul class="sdc_list">';

    foreach ( array_slice( $downloads, 0, $a['num'] ) as $item ) {
        $url = simple_download_counter_download_url($item->ID);
        $hash = get_post_meta($item->ID, 'sdc_download_hash', true);
        if ($hash) {
             $url = add_query_arg('key', $hash, $url);
        }

        $output .= '<li><a href="' . esc_url($url) . '">' . esc_html($item->post_title) . '</a></li>';
    }
    $output .= '</ul>';

    if ( $a['extra'] == 'yes' ) {
        $output .= '<p><select onchange="if (this.value) window.location.href=this.value">';
        $output .= '<option disabled selected>' . $a['select_text'] .'.</option>';

        foreach ( array_slice( $downloads, $a['num'], 999 ) as $item ) {
            $url = simple_download_counter_download_url($item->ID);
            $hash = get_post_meta($item->ID, 'sdc_download_hash', true);
            if ($hash) {
                 $url = add_query_arg('key', $hash, $url);
            }
            $output .= '<option value="' . esc_url($url) .'">' . esc_html($item->post_title) . '</option>';
        }
        $output .= '</select></p>';
    }

    return $output;
}

Hi @annagarcia

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my comments.

From my perspective it is misleading to label non-standard Passkeys that are unique to one provider as “universal”. Not leaving the device they are created on is a drawback for the end-user, not a benefit. The whole industry (including Firefox) is working together towards “multi-device FIDO credentials” that you’ll be able to use anywhere, on all your devices, with cross-browser, cross-platform, cross-password manager sharing coming in the future, and yet you’re creating different ones that are locked into just one company – that seems like a backwards step.

I was looking for a simple, seamless solution using the system provided Passkey support (my only choice being whether to sync them between devices using iCloud or 1Password) that stores my Passkeys on my devices. With Beyond Identity I have no idea where my Passkeys are stored, but the fact I can ‘see’ them in your developer console, authentication happens on your servers, and you say they’re available ‘everywhere’ suggests they’re stored on your servers. That’s not what I want. Maybe your offering has benefits for large organisations/enterprise users but for my needs it is over-complicated and overkill I’m afraid.

Thank you. That would be great.

I’ve since modified my own custom snippet for my purposes, to only show the Read More link if the Custom Summary is not empty:

function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
    global $post;
    if (!empty(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'event-summary', true))) {
        return $output . '<a class="button" href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">Read more</a>';
    } else {
        return $output;
    }
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');

Thank you. Although the snippet above didn’t work for me for some reason, it got me on the right track and the following modified code did work:

function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
    global $post;
    if (!empty(apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content() ))) {
        return $output . '<a class="button" href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '">Read more</a>';
    }
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');

There was a security vulnerability. See:

https://patchstack.com/database/vulnerability/custom-content-shortcode/wordpress-custom-content-shortcode-plugin-3-8-9-authenticated-reflected-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability

I’m using WP Featherlight on WordPress 5.8.1 across multiple websites with zero issues.

Just because the developer has not (yet) updated the “Tested up to” version number in the readme.txt, does not automatically mean the plugin stops working with later WordPress versions and you need to find an alternative.

Most plugins that predominantly rely on third-party JS and CSS code and not core WordPress functions are unlikely to be affected by minor WordPress updates (even major ones in most cases).

Thank you! I checked the other installed plugins, and you are correct. One old plugin was conflicting (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tinymce-colorpicker/) – I disabled that and all is good.

Sorry, I should’ve thought to check other plugins for conflicts before posting here.

Cheers!

//echo '<pre>' . print_r( $args, true ) . '</pre>';

Seems to be some development code left in mistakenly.
