Thanks, @nickfarelli. That sounds frustrating. Sorry for your trouble.

If I was in your position, here’s what I’d do and move it to a local staging site:
1. Backup up my entire site (files and database)
2. Check that my wp-config.php file does not have a line blocking updates like define( 'automatic_updater_disabled', true ); (https://wpbuffs.com/disable-wordpress-auto-updates/)
3. Then set the wp-config.php file’s debug file to true: define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );. Then address any errors that appear to be related to updates being blocked.
4. If the above steps did not work, I’d then disable my plugins one by one to see if one of them is blocking my updates.
5. If #4 didn’t work, I’d make sure my WordPress version is at the current version (5.7).
6. I’d then install WP Rollback https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-rollback/. Use the plugin to update all of my plugins.
7. Then wait for another round of updates to see if the previous steps solved the problem.

All the best, @yhazem!

My pleasure, @helpmepleasehs!

Thanks for the info. A few things here:
1. You may want to contact All-in-One WP Migration for support, since it involves their plugin (https://help.servmask.com/)
2. You mentioned you deactivated your theme. In order for WordPress to work, a theme must be activated.
3. If you’re like me, you probably would hate to reach out to plugin support! So you may want to clone your site manually. The basic idea is to copy your wp-content directory and all the tables from your SQL database and import those into your local install. From there, you’ll need to use a plugin to update the site URLs to https://localhost:YOUR-PORT-NUMBER. Here is a SUPER helpful video on how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wROa37k_RQA.

Let us know if you are able to figure it out and the steps you took to reach your solution!

Hello, @helpmepleasehs! I know cloning a site can be a real challenge. Glad you reached out.

Two questions:
1. What specific steps did you take to clone your site?
2. And where are you cloning FROM and cloning TO?

Hey there, @nickfarelli! Have you tried navigating to your site’s plugin page to see if you can update there (https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/plugins.php)?

Wow, that was a quick fix @1inf3rn0! Congrats and thanks for sharing the steps you took to solve this issue.

Hello @amiryamunir, glad to help in some way. And yes, the link you provided may help you as well. Please let us know when you find a solution and how you did it!

@riasnelli, glad we could help!

My pleasure @1inf3rn0! Glad to help in some way. Keep creating awesome things with WordPress!

Hello @1inf3rn0! A few things here:

First, I believe you need to call add_shortcode outside of each function block.

function my_silly_function {
echo 'I am silly';
}
add_shortcode('hello_silly', 'my_silly_function');

Next, while you are getting close, I’d recommend you refactor your main function block to have an if-else statement. That is, IF cookie isset then do something, ELSE do something else. Here’s a super helpful tutorial for you: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-set-get-and-delete-wordpress-cookies-like-a-pro/.

Hope that points you in a good direction!

Hi, @eddiegoulding0321. As @t-p mentioned, the Site Health area can help you with this.

You can learn more about this and about which PHP versions are on the market in this article and its embedded video https://wpbuffs.com/wordpress-php-version-check/ (https://youtu.be/hCltKB859zA).

Also, please make sure to backup your site and database files before you update your PHP version. There can be code conflicts, so it’s nice to have a backup on hand if you need to downgrade your PHP version.

Hope that helps!

Hello, @riasnelli! As @joyously mentioned, a 404 HTTP response is expected in your case. As for SEO, an image tag that throws an error code could possibly affect your SEO if it is the featured image.

Simply replace the image in your post editor by uploading a new image and you should be good to go!

If this doesn’t answer your question, please elaborate further and provide relevant screenshots. Thanks!

Hey @amiryamunir, I run into this all the time.

Most servers come with PHP mail protocol installed by default. The problem is that not many email providers (Gmail for example) trust that protocol. You need to use a different protocol like SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).

Here are the steps to do that:
1. Install WP Mail SMTP by WPForms (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/)
2. Create a free SendGrid account (https://signup.sendgrid.com/)
3. Follow the instructions in this post to create your SendGrid API and integration with WordPress. (Note: Sometimes it can be tricky to authenticate your domain with SendGrid. This article may help: https://www.godaddy.com/community/Managing-Domains/problems-adding-SendGrid-CNAME-record/td-p/15648)

If you followed the WP Forms article instructions, and verified your domain with SendGrid per the article, you should now have SMTP protocol set up. Your Envato contact form plugin will then use this SMTP protocol to send messages from your site to email providers in a trusted manner.

Let us know if that helps you!
