  • I’m glad I could help out. That’s what these forums are all about.

    How exactly are you backing your site up and setting it up locally? The built in import/export tools simply import and export the content. You’ll have to setup the user accounts and passwords separately.

    If you want to duplicate a site to work on it locally, I would recommend using other plugins made specifically for that purpose which duplicate or backup the entire site (content, themes, widgets, database, etc.) and let you restore it to a different server. Domain name changes are handled automatically.

    A popular free tool is Duplicator (https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/duplicator). Very easy to use. If you are duplicating the site locally you’ll need a local host environment which you can easily setup with Xampp, MAMP, WAMP, Bitnami or InstantWP.

    BackupBuddy is a popular premium plugin that does the same thing plus scheduled backups to any other location (https://ithemes.com/purchase/backupbuddy/). It starts at $75/yr.

    If you plan on doing this often, an excellent tool for local development then publishing online is DesktopServer by ServerPress.com. It costs $50 for the premium version and supports importing backups from Duplicator, ManageWP and InfiniteWP. It creates its own hosting environment so there is no need for MAMP, Xampp, etc. There is a Windows and Mac version. The free versions of Managewp.com and infinitewp.com let you do manual backups of your site.

    I had the same exact experience. Here was the error in my server logs:

    [error] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IS_IDENTICAL in …/wp-content/plugins/cbnet-multi-author-comment-notification/settings.php on line 320,

    I did that and it is still not working for me. The feed itself is active. I even tried directly assigning the RSS URL to the $feed variable and still do not have any content displaying correctly. I looked at the error log and found the following:

    PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function init() on a non-object in …fbf_facebook_page_feed.php on line 59

    Line 59 has: if (!is_wp_error($feed)) : $feed->init();

    I ended up hard coding the path to feed.php and that resolved the fatal errors, but I still get the message “RSS Feed currently unavailable.” Is there an issue with fetch_feed?

    No, the problem is not resolved. Tonykj, you are supposed to use the page id number to begin with as stated with the instructions:
    https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/fbf-facebook-page-feed-widget/installation/

    The plugin was working for me, but stopped working this past week. I am using the ID number and still get the “RSS Feed currently unavailable” message. Did Facebook make a change in the RSS feed?

    Yes, your patch resolved the problem. Images uploaded successfully, multiple sizes are available and I can edit images without any errors.

    On a separate note I have opened a support ticket with WPEngine, my web host, to upgrade the version of ImageMagick they have installed on their servers to at least 2.2.0, but hopefully the latest stable module release which is 3.0.1.

    Thanks!

    phpinfo says I’m running ImageMagick 6.5.7-8 2012-04-30 Q16

    If it helps it also says that I am running ImageMagick module version 2.1.1-rc1

    This plugin should be more popular. It works great with 3.4.1 as well and is the fastest way to create pages, build the menu, and indicate the parent/child page relationships all at the same time!

    I would recommend the addition of the a drag and drop capability to visually rearrange pages along with + or – icon to add and remove pages more easily. Please refer to https://writemaps.com/, a free stand alone sitemap diagramming tool for inspiration.

    My site failed to load just after updating the polldaddy plugin which appears to have triggered the following PHP Fatal Error:

    [12-Jul-2012 16:40:34 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /var/www/vhosts/mydomainname/httpdocs/wp/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 1373

    Removing the plugin folder allowed the site to load. I’m running WP 3.4.1 in multisite mode with numerous plugins including JetPack. It would take a while to determine which plugin was in conflict with PollDaddy, but it seems a recent change in polldaddy has caused the problem. Six plugins were updated on my site today at the same time when the problem occurred. I had to remove all six not knowing which was triggering the fatal error. I added each one back in one by one to conclude that PollDaddy was the culprit.

    I guess I could remove the other five recently updated plugins to see if the site will run with just polldaddy, but seeing the other messages here, it looks like the error is within polldaddy.

    The other five plugins updated at the same time are:
    network-plugin-auditor
    custom-post-type-ui
    blog templates
    google document embedder
    disqus comment system

    The other error I got that only appears once is:
    PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required ‘/var/www/vhosts/mydomainname/httpdocs/wp/wp-content/plugins/polldaddy/ajax.php’ (include_path=’.:’) in /var/www/vhosts/mydomainname/httpdocs/wp/wp-content/plugins/polldaddy/polldaddy.php on line 4977

    BTW, did anyone else notice that Polldaddy is a large plugin. The folder is 50 MB on my server. The PO files take up a lot of space.

    Reverted back to the previous version of PollDaddy (2.0.13) for the time being appears to work.

    I did not expect to see this happen with an AutoMattic sponsored plugin.

    I have upgraded to 3.3.1 as well and the problem still persists. It’s not just you, the search capabilities on this forum can be wanting at times

    In reply to: Jetpack

    I am using the updated version of JetPack and I am not experiencing either issue.

    As a work around for a direct link to the stats, you could bookmark the following link:
    https://balletnews.co.uk/wp-admin/admin.php?page=stats

    But to get to a real resolution, you’ll need to do some troubleshooting. Were any of your other plugins updated around the same time which may possibly be causing a conflict? Disable those plugins one at a time and test the links. Was the theme recently updated? Were there any updates on the server? For example, Apache or PHP?

    I just wanted to note that I had deactivated all plug-ins to take them out of the equation. I also performed an update of the site just prior to taking the screen shots on 4-2-2010. However, the problem has been present for about 2-3 weeks.

    I looked at the source of my current page. It not only includes the title of each page and post, but the full text of the article. I only have 120 posts on my site, but when I copied the source and saved it to a text file it was 1.1 MB is size. I do not think you want the full text of every article in the source of the menu page.

    The sub-menus also do not stay in the order I arranged them when I save the menu.

    Some of my tags had single quotes, double quotes or slashes (//\) in them – the problem with pragmatically tagging posts. Is it possible that certain characters were not being escaped properly and causing an error in the tag list?

    Thread Starter Ed Gray

    (@graynotgrey)

    I think I found the culprit. Too many tags. I had over a thousand tags. Once narrowed the number below 1,000 (983 to be precise) the page loaded correctly and I was able to edit the menu. However it took a long time to save the menu and when it was done it had shifted my sub-pages based on categories underneath a page sub-menu.

    Menu entries based on categories with sub-menus based on sub-categories does not appear to work. The sub-menus based on categories get shifted up underneath the sub-page sub-menus after I save the menu.
