1. Yes, donations made with test/sandbox Paypal are stuck in “pending”
2. Yes, the IPN notification as successful exactly per your documentation
3. NO, I did not try setting the URL manually as your instructions said to contact you at this point.
4. Paypal account is US based. I believe it is a business account. I do not have access.
5. Permalink settings – “post name”
6. NO “coming soon” plugin (site is fully active)
7. I can attempt the debug PHP errors per the link you provide tomorrow (it’s late here now).

Thank you.

Hi & thanks for responding.

So… the short answer is I CANT display a progress bar with the total campaign goal visible with this plugin and/or the shortcodes & snippets available?

Just want to be clear I’m understanding you correctly before I go figure out an alternative solution.

Additional Info: Tried posting as the Admin exact same content, same computer – no problem.

Hi Gerroald,
Thank you for your very clear instructions.
There was no scan still running as I had killed the last one before exiting yesterday, and it appears wordfence hasnt tried to do one itself (<24hrs so understandable)

DONE:
1. execution time changed from ‘0’ to ’20’
2. debugging mode on [call scan externally still also checked]
3. run scan
4. it RAN!!!!

Not sure if I need further intervention or not! I’ll turn off the debugging mode, but leave the other changes??

Getting code via my mobile phone and the Symantec VIP Access code generator app.

Just keeps saying wrong code, check server time.

Thank you. I’ve checked my settings; changed the scan type to “Standard” (was on ‘limited’) and ensured those limit boxes are empty. See how long this lasts… ??

GreenWebHost have responded:-
Hi there.
I am not aware of any issues.
We wouldn’t be making those changes, if there were any changes made on the server (which i am not aware of any) they would effect things globally and generally on the wordpress install not just one plugin.
I suggest waiting for a reply from the developer of that plugin as it could be another setting such as php version or a timeout?
Could it be a caching issue? in WP

Sounds like it is a Wordfence issue… Still happening btw.

Hi,
Thanks for quick response. Interesting its not just me.
Host is GreenWebHost.net
Yes, I’ve sent them a support query. Will let you know their response.
regards
Fiona

Have you tried simply deleting the Archive Widget from the RHS Sidebar.
Goto Appearance/Widgets/Right Sidebar (drop down box)/Archive (drop down box) DELETE
This will remove the widget from the Sidebar, regardless of its ‘position’ in the drop down box on the widget itself.

I dont have this widget showing in my sidebars, even on a search.
Cheers,
Fiona

Thanks –
I have put the ad in the header by using the “header Ad” option in Extra (divi theme) – just put the adsense code in the box. So I guess WP Quads has no control over this? I cannot see any place to put a header ad in via WP Quads.

1. re your condition: WHERE would I put this conditional code? In my custom CSS?

2. How would this work for a ‘CATEGORY’ search/archive page – this is the real issue, as these are not ‘pages’ as such, so I dont think they have an ID. Looking around it

thanks for any assistance.
Fiona

Hi,
Can you be more explicit with your explanation?
WHERE in the settings?

I have tried the settings at the bottom of a post that says “WP QUADS – Hide Ads” and ticked the ‘Hide all ads on page’ box BUT this is NOT disabling the header ads, only the ‘in-post’ ads.

I need to disable ALL the adsense ads including header, footer and ‘in post’ and sidebar widgets for a particular page (and a category page isnt a post so cant even use this setting on the category pages even it if did work).

Further help requested.
Thank you.

Sorry for slow replies – have a few things happening.

This has come back up as URGENT as hostgators advising CPU “abuse” and blocking my account/sites. Speaking to them, they advise it is Wordfence that is doing the ‘abuse’ using too many resources. This has happened the last two nights now. I cant see any way to stop wordfence scanning (except paying?) Last night the scan terminated after 3hours as it reached time limit for scanning.

* removed ‘debug mode’
* unticked ‘scan images, binary and other files as if they were executable’

OMG, after looking like it was going to take ages and ages.. taking a few seconds to scan a file it suddenly finished, successfully. So I guess (?) it was the ‘as executable’ bit that was taking so long?

What are the risks of having this disabled? I am pretty sure it was enabled as a default (?).

Fingers crossed it will be ok tonight for the ‘regular’ scan.
THANK YOU for your assistance,
Fiona

Thank you for your response.
I went back through the ‘possible reasons’ and retried them. No better success.
Debug enabled, no errors I can see, but it is still stuck at the same place after running a very long time.

1. Should I leave it running? It doesnt seem to finish even after 24hrs?
2. Do I need to change some other setting?
