Ok, thanks. Definitely to using the information, we start reaching out to the developer and researching to see if a fix seems imminent. If not, then we start looking for alternatives to those plugins and replace them. Plugins removed from the repo are given a higher priority and it can be indicative of a known security issue.

Thanks for the quick response. The options I see are a bit different than in the at guide, https://app.screencast.com/LcUamPL3Z19cJ. Maybe because this is the premium version? I logged into your site first for support and it took me here, so I was figuring it was for both.

Seems the “only for new devices” is the winner in this case though given my options. I’ll try that and see how it goes for them.

Thanks much,

Philip

Alrighty, thanks. I’ll pass that along to the client.

Heya Ross,

I just came across this, https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/2020/07/24/new-wp_get_environment_type-function-in-wordpress-5-5/. Turns out WP has a built-in feature even for determining the environment and setting it via WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE.

Would certainly make life a whole lot easier for us if it were implemented!

Thanks for considering it,

Philip

Hello Ross,

Thanks for getting back to us. Yea, we do use a constant like that in wp-config.php which is environment-specific (article). I think it’s pretty common for switching to test systems automatically on staging, etc. I’d think you could create a multisite and non-multisite branch and trigger the right functionality for each scenario via is_multisite().

It would be a huge help for us to use as another tool along with the Must-Use feature to cover more scenarios. Staging/Dev emails are such a pain as you well know. We’d definitely be up for a Pro version of the plugin with such features.

Thanks again,

Philip

Maybe? The MU Plugin approach works for database-only syncs, but not for staging systems like on CW which actually fully replace the staging/dev site with a new copy of the live, and thus we’d have to re-install the plugin every time we resynch. Having it in the live but disabled somehow for that install would really come in handy.

Thanks!

Resolving…

Hm, they weren’t there indeed. I just deleted and re-installed and they are there now. Who knows. Thanks for your help!

We hoped the latest release might fix this but it’s still happening for some reason. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hello,

It doesn’t show any history even though it’s been on the site for awhile and even after making changes. Going to the debug tab shows a critical error and the error code is below. Hope that helps.

Thanks!

Alrighty, we’re still waiting to hear from them but will let you know. Note that we put in another plugin to test and it doesn’t have the same issue. I’m not sure what the difference might be.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your help @belimperial.

We’ve narrowed it down to the Apress Core plugin, which is a companion plugin to the Apress Theme, https://themeforest.net/item/apress-responsive-multipurpose-theme/20287911.

Any ideas from there? I’ve reached out to their support as well.

Thanks

The link is in my comment. Maybe it doesn’t show to everyone or something, but it’s just one of the other posts in this forum around the same day.

Not yet for us. The plugin author said in another post he was on vacation and would look at it in a week. We’re holding off for a little bit but hopefully there will be a fix soon.
