Hi Scott,

I’ve done some isolation and it seems to be related to Shield security plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-simple-firewall/.

I’ve also submitted a support ticket to them. What happens when different devs use different versions of a library like Monolog?

Hi beeky2,

Just a heads up that the documentation in the Advanced > Auto Popup needs to be updated with the latest URL triggers.

Hey Beeky2,

I’ve been running the update now for a couple of hours and things look so much better :). Thanks for getting this annoying error log warning fixed.

I just got a message from LearnDash that they are aware of the issue and are working on a fix. In the meantime, LD requested that I downgrade to version 4.4.1.2.

Thanks for putting in this ability to trigger via url param (i.e. /?swal=open).

Is there a way to open the register and forgot password modals also via an url param? I don’t see anything in the docs to do that.

Yes, I’ve reset my permalink structure (and saveed) a couple of times, but that hasn’t resolved the issue. The .htaccess file is writable. Must be something else. I haven’t changed the hosting configuration in quite a while, but I’ll contact them also.

I’m more inclined to wonder if it has to do with WP 6.1 and some of the performance enhancements that were introduced with that. The timing is about right for when I started getting user problem reports and when I updated to WP 6.1. Plus, just the behavior of the problem just feels like it could be something in WP 6.1, though I certainly don’t have any direct evidence of that.

Ah! I had completely forgot that you have another entry “Plugins Manager” under “Plugins”. Sorry, my bad ??

I’m totally OK with having FDP under Plugins and it makes perfect sense to me. It works just as good as having it under Tools, maybe even a little more.

And I fully understand that users could get confused looking for FDP after installing and not finding it in the main admin menu and not familiar with where to find it (under Plugins).

So with all that in mind, would it make sense to just have an option in settings to “Show in top-level Admin” that would be checked by default? Then it would always show FDP in Admin menu by default for new installs, but the administrator could have the option of unchecking it, in which case they know they can find it under Plugins?

And yes, I’m fine with hiding it via CSS even if you aren’t able to put in a settings checkbox. No reason to do anything special for me.

Thanks!

Hi Jose. This request is to mostly reduce the clutter on the main admin menu. It won’t work to use roles because admin needs to have access to FDP, but in the case where there are multiple admins on the site, not all admins would typically use FDP (mostly, only I would use it.)

I typically view utility plugins like FDP as tools, and like to put them under the tools admin menu.

But in any case, this is just a suggestion for you to consider and isn’t urgent.

Thanks so much! You have a great plugin!

I’m just jumping in on this thread… I have experienced this problem on my live sites. I know that Jose figured out the issue and put in a workaround for FDP, however, I’m not sure what other plugins might be having some issues because of this.

Thanks,

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been meaning to post the same problem because I’m experiencing the same issue. And I’m doing the same workaround that you are ??

Hi Jory, thanks for the reply.

I’ve tried the other plugins, and frankly, yours is simply the best! The features and operation are just great.

I did add a note to the GitHub subject issue for Shield. In the event that you do look at this issue I’d be glad to help in any way I can (though I’m not a developer so couldn’t help that way.)

Hey Jose, IGNORE my message about it not showing in the Actions menu. I did a copy/paste of the code and it seems like some clipboard garbage got put into the code. I pasted in as plain text (with the added close to the array) and it worked.

Thanks so much!

Thanks Jose! I really appreciate you looking at this. I’m not sure why the recorder in your example is not picking up the ajax action “get_wc_coupon_message”. Most likely it is some plugin or other setting on my site that is triggering that action and I just need to figure out what is triggering it.

I put in your example code. BTW, it seems like there is a missing array closing “)” so I added that in and have:

add_filter(
    "eos_dp_integration_action_plugins",
    "my_plugin_add_fdp_integration"
);
//It adds custom ajax actions to the FDP Actions Settings Pages
function my_plugin_add_fdp_integration($args)
{
    $args["my-coupon-message"] = [
        "is_active" => class_exists("WooCommerce"),
        "ajax_actions" => [
            "get_wc_coupon_message" => [
                "description" => __("Coupon Message", "my-textdomain"),
            ],
        ],
    ];
    return $args;
}

I assume that you convert $args[“my-coupon-message”] into a heading of “MY COUPON MESSAGE” in the FDP Actions menu. But for some reason, I’m not seeing anything change in the Actions menu – no new menu item and I also don’t find the action either under WordPress Core or WooCommerce.

It must me something I’m doing wrong, but I don’t see what it is. Can you see what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks for that suggestion, Scott. I did some testing with those settings to see the effect on plugin execution time. I started with all options disabled and took a baseline reading. Then I enabled each option separately to see the effect.

Watch Changed fields adds about .3 seconds.
Watch Metadata adds about 7 seconds.
Enable Sessions (inconclusive, but if anything it seems to improve the performance)
Track Usage adds about .4 seconds.

Obviously, the big hitter was Watch Metadata, adding almost 7 seconds to the execution time.

Just in case it is helpful to you, here’s the heavy hitters in the methods/functions that I see on the WP Admin dashboard:
