Hi there!

What plugins have you tried so far? I’m curious to know if at least one of those might have a filter you could possibly hook to in order to expand on that

Hi there,

It sounds like the site may have been hacked. I highly recommend looking over the steps here: https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/article/faq-my-site-was-hacked/

Hi there,

First thing that comes to mind is checking the PHP error logs. If you don’t know where those reside, reach out to your host and they can point you to where those reside. That’s if you haven’t already looked at those.

Ah yeah, so it was the theme causing the issue.

One thing that comes to mind is renaming the theme’s folder, and making sure that you have a default theme like Twenty Twenty-Three, so WordPress will fall back to that after renaming the folder.

Hi there,

It almost sounds like the was probably mid-update on either a plugin or the theme when that file was deleted. I’ve had that happen before with a long update. One thing that comes to mind would be temporarily deactivating all plugins to see if that brings things back and if it doesn’t it means the theme might be missing a file. What is the exact error message you are getting? That could also let you know what could be causing that.

Hey there,

What does the error message say?

Hi there,

You might be able to get some on the IRC channel: https://make.www.ads-software.com/support/irc-support-channel/

Hello and welcome to WP!

Yes, out of the box that’s not one thing you can do but is one thing that can be done with a plugin. One that I’ve seen is: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-scheduled-posts/

I’m sure there may be some others too. That’s the first one that popped up on my end. ??

Hey there,

Not sure if this answer might help you but it could potentially lead to a possible solution: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/233142

I did see this other one which might also yield a possible way of getting that: https://gist.github.com/omurphy27/d63222e4940c3afa9d8afd10d9375df4

Hope that steers you in a good direction

Hi there,

You can try deactivating all plugins to see if that removes all of them and then activate one by one to see which ones could be causing that.

Ah got it.

Well, if you have a USB drive handy you might be able to copy the PHP files from one computer to the other and you might be able to export the database as well using phpmyadmin or even use a backup plugin to export the site and then import it on the new computer

Hi there,

This is a bit of a loaded question because it could vary depending on your comfort level. There are a few things that come to mind though and I’m not sure if you’ve seen this page: https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/handbook/tutorials/installing-a-local-server/#which-local-server-should-i-install

The ones that come to mind are Local by Flywheel, Docker, VVV which are also mentioned on the page above. One that isn’t mentioned is Lando (https://docs.lando.dev/wordpress/) I have no personal experience with that one but have heard some good things about it.

Hopefully that helps you a bit.

Hi there,

Just from reading those error messages it shows that there is a plugin causing that and the theme is also having some issues. One thing that comes to mind would be passing the --skip-themes and --skip-plugins flag when running WPCLI. I would suggest reaching out to the theme and plugin developers about that though and see if they have exper8enced that previously.

Nice!

Glad to hear it was a simple fix like that.

Noice!!

Glad to hear you were able to figure it out ??
