doh sorry – just discovered they’d moved the Events Calendar panel to the sidebar (and closed it up) by mistake – ignore me!

As a tempory solution, I have enabled all plugins required as network activated and they do not get reset – not ideal but it keeps my sites running for now!

If each supplier need their own (customised as to company brand) site then I think using a multisite makes sense – it means you can set up one site with a set of plugins, theme etc. and just clone it for new suppliers (use NS Cloner or similar). Makes it easy to manage updates as everything is in one place rather than multiple WordPress instances

I have had issues with wordpress admin pages redirecting after a server setup error even after the error was fixed. Its always worth trying to clear the cache for the domain (in Chrome open developer tools F12 and then right click on hte browser refresh icon top left and select ’empty cache and hard reload’ – fixes a multitude of caching issues…

I use Adminimize plugin to restrict admin menu for different users/roles https://en-gb.www.ads-software.com/plugins/adminimize/ Not sure if this is the answer in your case

I am server admin. Can’t see anything in the logs that looks related…. only fatal errors I can see ar elike:

PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class “ParagonIE_Sodium_Core_ChaCha20_Ctx” not found in /var/www/clients/client7/web7/web/wp-includes/sodium_compat/namespaced/Core/ChaCha20/Ctx.php:4
…which appears to be related to Sodium lib which should be included by default in PHP8.2….

It now appears that it is not just The Events Calendar plugin that is being deactivated… ALL the site-specific plugins on ALL my sites on the multisite are getting randomly deactivated. So this is a bigger problem than I thought…

still doing it randomly….

Change to PHP 8.0 hasn’t made any difference. Any suggestions welcome (except ‘switch all plugins off’ – this is on a multisite hosting a number of live sites). I can do whatever debugging you might suggest – have root access to cli

…and when do you think that you will be supporting more recent PHP versions? After all 8.0 has been EOL for 6 months+ and 8.1 has been out for 2.5 yrs…

Hi I have downgraded to PHP 8.03 and reactivated the plugins. I’ll wait and see if that fixes it.

Can you tell me what errors PHP8.3 might trigger so I can check the logs?

doh! youre absolutely right – for some reason the plugin just deactivated itself somewhere during th eupgrade process (and so did the events calendar plugin itself). I have switched it back on and it’s working fine.

Many thanks

Unfortuantely this is still not resolved – the plugin keeps deactivating after random intervals. It’s driving me nuts. I’m gonna start a new thread.

success! have finall ymanaged to update to 6.4.

have now managed to keep the plugin active for long enough to migrate all events. Am now trying to update to 6.4 again but it still just gets stuck on ‘updating…’
