I disabled those options, and ran another scan and it’s been stopped at “[Jun 18 13:55:45] Analyzed 11800 files containing 311.17 MB of data so far” for over an hour.

The top box stops at “[Jun 17 07:26:28] Scanning for known malware files”

Tim,

I changed it to 15 and also turned on debugging. Here’s the last 10 lines of the scan “[Jun 17 07:35:29] Analyzed 20500 files containing 541.16 MB of data so far

I let it sit for an hour after it got stuck, hoping it would start again, but no. Thank you for your help. I’m really not sure why it’s doing this. Never ever had any trouble before.

Thanks!
Mandy

Tim,

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried changing the value to 20 and it has been stuck on “[Jun 16 14:00:20] Analyzed 12300 files containing 324.43 MB of data so far” for 2 hours.

Thanks!

Hell Tim,

Any suggestions?

Awesome! That fixed everything ?? Thanks so much!

Hello David,

When the problem first occurred, I switched the theme to 2013 and it didn’t work like it did with the theme I am using.

They had a caching plugin in place, but I deactivated it because it was running too much conflict with the plugins and operation of the site. If I remember correctly, it was an out-of-date plugin.

And I did the deactivating/reactivating of plugins and no change.

Currently on my employer’s site, we’ve had the same issues when we update to the latest version. We’re running v 2.0.9.7 right now since it works. It won’t update when we do our regular updates; it keeps wanting to pull in the PRO version. Not sure why it’s doing that, but not going to complain since it’s working. We just like to keep everything up-to-date for security purposes.

Thanks!

This is actually for here, for my wordpress forum user email. I need to change the email but it says the email I want to use is already in use, but when I try to sign in with it, it goes nowhere, says it doesn’t exist?

Hello David!

Thanks for your reply. Here is the screengrab you requested:

As for the other category-based sidebars, I have several categories and sidebars set up for each. The sidebar it is to replace is the main sidebar for the theme.

Thanks again for the help! Looking forward to working with you.

Hello!

Oddly over the weekend, the plugin started working, though partially. The ads are showing up and on the pages/posts they were designated, however, I create a test ad, setting it to be on the post and the category archive for that particular category. It shows up on the post, but not the archive?

Any suggestions? Thanks!

*UPDATE*

I managed to find older versions of the plugin (2.0.7 and 2.0.9.7) within my backups. The ads are back at least for the sidebars that were created originally and I can create new ones, however they still do not work properly.
I’ve tried both versions:
2.0.7 will let me create a sidebar, but won’t give me the choices to locate the sidebar.
2.0.9.7 will allow me to do all the above, but the ads will not show up.
PLEASE HELP! This is a big deal for my client. It’s how he earns money.
Thanks!

My site is spiritofjefferson.com. It is active right now, however I redesigned the site at spiritofjefferson.com/test2 and want to make that the current site at spiritofjefferson.com. I tried to go into the database and change the wp_blog table. When I changed spiritofjefferson.com/test2 to just spiritofjefferson.com I get a 404 Error! Page Not Found. It was my redesigned site before I changed the table. I’m still trying to get the test2 site back. I am very nervous to change this stuff because this happens. I would just like some help/guidance in getting my site launched. As I said I am still learning this.

Oh, ok, lol. I downloaded the free version and reuploaded it and all is good. Thanks for pointing that out. I never noticed that it was trying to install the PRO version. Thanks!

Seems to be no issues. The widgets stayed this time. Thank you both for all your help! I’ll go thru and start fixing all our other sites. Have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas!

Well, maybe since I was switched to the default theme that’s why. I’ll try one of our other smaller sites without switching to the default theme and see if it affects the widgets or not.
