+1 for single image photoswipe lightbox usage. Love the full screen and zoom but a one image gallery looks pretty silly due to the pic being so small.

Justified Gallery is awesome and single image lightbox would make it totally awesome

It really doesn’t make any sense to me. If I delete a plugin, I get a warning. Do I really want to delete DATA? Well of course I do, otherwise, I could just deactivate it. Maybe I was planning on reinstalling it and was just trying to thoroughly get rid of any and all settings, yet with some plugins, uninstalling and reinstalling has the same effect as deactivating and reactivating.

With WP itself when I delete a blog aka site aka subsite, that ID# isn’t going to be reused. Not without going in and manually deleting db entries. The number keeps climbing which is obvious when you have 10 sites with blog ID’s of 4, 17, 45, 82 etc.

So why does WP not delete all the relevant wp_17 tables?

Assuming I use wp_ as a prefix, in my old bloated db I have……….

wp_17_pmpro_membership_orders
wp_17_postmeta
wp_17_wpforo_posts
(and many more..)

If I delete blog 17, only wp_17_postmeta gets deleted, the other two remain(as does some other plugin data, though not as numerous due to the size/complexity of different plugins).

I’d love to hear the reason.

I rebuilt the network as I couldn’t see going in and manually deleting 2/3 of the tables and having things come out okie dokie. I no longer use those two plugins which each left 9-12 tables. My db has gone from over 500mb down to under 70mb with the same number of live, non-deleted sites. I’m pretty much done creating test sites. Ran through sandbox with payment gateways and just need to do a live payment gateway test or two.

Live and learn, hindsight is 20/20, yada yada.

I did learn to deactivate and delete certain plugins before deleting a site. If a blog admin deletes their own site, they won’t think of doing that though.

I was looking for something other than surfing the dashboard of every subsite to dismiss it. Maybe a php snippet?

I imagine it will pop up again every time the plugin gets updated?

Personally, I think wordpress should make it a requirement for every plugin to prompt you to delete data from the db upon deletion of the plugin. Some plugins do it automatically and some have an option, usually buried at the bottom of a settings page, to delete data upon uninstallation. I spent quite a bit of time testing the signup process so I made a LOT of sites that promptly got deleted.

Got my db down to 72mb from 126mb and I only scratched the surface.

The database cleanup plugins, if they work on multisite, only take out old drafts and comments. They don’t touch old plugin data.

At this point, I’m thinking about deleting the entire network and starting over. Would probably be faster. I don’t know how to write a query and from what I’ve read, it’s not that easy to write the proper query even for those that have the know how.

Just bought Duplicator Pro so I can make a staging site but I’m not having any luck due to the size and also probably the fact that I’ve gone in and deleted tables manually. Got it small enough but get database type errors when trying to re-inflate on new domain. Pretty much screwed now.

Come to find out, it’s old plugin data. Shouldn’t wp delete all tables relating to a site?

Yes, I delete them through network admin >> Sites

pmpro and wpforo have left hundreds of tables behind.

Unfortunately, this plugin is not compatible with multisite, it doesn’t let me choose any site IDs or tables:

nope

Not that hard to learn. Use firefox, right click on anything and ‘Inspect’. That pops open a window down at the bottom or on the right side that shows you all the css. Plenty of youtube vids will show you. Different themes may use different css classes and IDs. A class starts with a period, (.class) and an ID starts with a pound sign, (#ID). I remember that by thinking of ID number, the pound sign represents number as in employee ID #4759869

All the standard items don’t need a period or pound sign. body, p, h1, h2 etc.
This stuff is well worth the effort to learn. Spend a day or half a day and you’ll be able to tweak all kinds of things. Every element on the page really. Get a custom css plugin and you can add your custom css in there that will override the theme’s css.

I had no problem customizing anything. Use firefox’s inspector and find the css class/id. Looking to change the header text aka title? Guess what, it’s called (#site-title) in most themes and it can be controlled separately from h1 that way. Add that to the Edit Font Controls page and it shows up in the customizer then, just like p, h1, h2 etc etc. I had to add ‘body’ for one theme to change the paragraph font.

He made a video that shows how to use it. https://vimeo.com/77878709
Here’s a css reference site/page https://css-tricks.com/almanac/

Right on the plugin’s front page here it says,

“Anyone with basic knowledge of CSS Selectors (in order to add custom font rules).”

He’s got that disclaimer so I don’t think 1 star is in order.

Thank you

The more I thought of it, it is good to have the email notification but Please do think about making it optional in future versions. Maybe a checkbox — box to tick
Notify recipient yes/no
That would be a nice feature ??

If you really think about it, pride put aside. A warning popping up saying wp is vulnerable and recommending updating to something that doesn’t exist and having a link to a site that’s related to a plugin that I don’t even have, well, that seems spammy.

Sure, wp spamshield is security related as you mention above but it’s always been known to be related to spam in that sense(in fact it’s mentioned three times in the title of the plugin), not wp core vulnerabilities. Also, I presume at this point that all those “security check” links next to all plugins are coming from wp spamshield as well. I’ve been wondering about that. Those also lead to wpvulndb.

A simple one time popup mentioning where all this new stuff on people’s dashboard is coming from would have solved the whole mystery.

“ they should upgrade as soon as it is possible.

“As soon as it’s possible” or as soon as it’s available is what should be on the warning popup. Another thing that could have been done is to have it link to your site and then have a link on your site that leads to wpvulndb.

Also, the popup seems to be reoccurring for me. Dismiss it and it comes back.

WP SpamShield has always been an awesome plugin and it is appreciated by me and many many others. One of the things that’s made it that way it’s unobtrusiveness.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into WP SPamShield. It is appreciated.

Yes, some indication of where the message is coming from is/was needed. Thanks Scott.

For those of us running multisite and having lots of users or having web design clients, this sec warning is indeed an issue. Especially when we have to spend quite a bit of time finding the source of the message. At least put something on there that says wp spamshield. Wpvulndb is connected with wpscan and sucuri I believe yet I don’t have wpscan installed so I’ve just spent the last few hours trying to figure out where the message is coming from.
A www.ads-software.com moderator states they are trying to figure out where it’s coming from as well.

wp spamshield is one of the most trusted plugins and you’re one of the most trusted plugin authors but this was in bad form and almost seems spammy which is quite ironic.
Recommending updating wordpress 4.7.4 is pretty ludicrous as well considering there’s nothing to update to. That wording should not have been used until there was a 4.7.5 in existence.

Case solved. https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/security-alert-6/
It is indeed wp spamshield — disappointing

The link is in my first post. wpvulndb.com
I think they’re connected to wpscan plugin and sucuri. I get the warning on all wp sites but I have wp spamshield on all sites. Hard to believe it’s coming from that though. One of the most trusted plugins and plugin authors around. I’ll try to replicate it without wp spamshield.

I put a ticket in with my host to rule out software running behind the scenes that I can’t see.

well where are the images? I used the img button. Here’s a link to the warning that shows only three plugins with only wp spamshield activated
