Hey All – if you are still having this issue, I had the exact same thing. I managed to solve it… The problem was actually malware. In my case, it was a hack related to one of the themes on the network having an old version of Tim Thumb. It had been exploited and had messed with the code. Reinstalling wordpress didn’t help. Having my server run a complete security scan and repair did. The exploit was adding some base64 code in weird places that were breaking some CSS and JS includes.

Note – I ran Sucuri, Wordfence, Tim Thumb Vulnerability Scanner and a couple of other anti-malware / antivirus solutions on the site – they all came back clean. Only my hosts security scan caught and fixed the issue.

noslenwerd – did you ever find a resolution to this? I have this exact issue happening on a multisite install that hosts all of my clients sites. It is driving me crazy. Please tell me you found the secret switch.

Hey Mike – I appreciate that, but that isn’t what is happening in my case. It is not an alias, and I checked my sent mail in any case and nothing there.

So I checked the logs – all a bit of nonsense to me. I think this means it sent correctly – this is definitely a related record – i was test sending to my address (which is a google apps address). Does this mean it sent? I don’t see any bounce message – again, not sure what I’m looking for here…

Hey – I apologize. I’m not sure what happened – if it is possible it was a strange caching issue, or if something else subtle changed, but this basically fixed itself a couple of hours after I posted this. I’m 99% sure I didn’t do anything to make that happen.

Thanks.

The plugins are up to date – it seems the latest wordpress auto-update to 7.1 broke something regarding shortcodes. When I enable DEBUG I still just get the white screen – any ideas why that would happen?

Unfortunately I don’t. I don’t think I had to hack it. Have you filled out the form and you definitely aren’t getting people into the list? Have you chosen the right form from the dropdown?

OK, so unfortunately this was a while ago, and I can’t remember what happened, but I have the plugin working now. So, it is possible.

I will add one more note here for anyone attempting this – we ran into a speedbump importing a comma separated list of tags into Yoast’s tag field – the solution was simple – just escape all comma’s in the tag field with a \. A big shout out to Chris Richardson and TurboCSV – he went above and beyond in support to help me figure this out – thanks Chris!

Hi There Joost,

We initially tried with CSV Importer – a free wordpress plugin. Interestingly, it did import all of your data, but it skipped all other meta data. In the end, we used TurboCSV, which is a paid plugin for about $30 and that let us custom map all meta data including yours – you just name the columns in the spreadsheet as Patrick specified above and the plugin will automap the custom fields to your plugin.

Thanks for this answer. However, I actually found a plugin called “Post Type Converter” that makes this relatively easy and has recently added support for taxonomies. I have implemented it as a solution for now.
