I have exactly the same problem here: “Update Failed: Connection lost or the server is busy. Please try again later.”. After receiving this error message, I couldn’t even get back to the admin back-end site and also got “Server Connection lost” error message page on the screen. This is the localhost testing site, the path should be like: “localhost/xxxx/wp-admin” on the browser, but after the error occurred, the path became: “www.localhost.com/xxxx/wp-admin”, very weird and this never happened before but updating to the current WP version 4.7.

I have to use previous back file to restore and get back to the site again. Not every plug-ins have the same problem, but some of them. I tried several times, so now I stopped updating the “unsure” having problem ones.

I did not find any solutions or post anywhere, if I missed it or anyone have any solutions, please help!! Really appreciate it!!

The warning error message that mentioned above suddenly disappeared, did not change anything or settings, have no idea what happened and why the error message showed up after updating. Anyway, issue resolved. Thanks.

Hi,

Another issues that might adjust as well:

– I think the discount total should EXCLUDE the “Exclude categories” items.

For example: auto $1 off discount on product (or % product) when purchase $30+ and $2 off when purchase $40+, there are three categories C1 (item 1 $10), C2 (item 2 $10), C3 (item 3 $20), if the coupon only applies to the items from C1 and C2, exclude C3, and if the cart contains item 1, item 2 and item 3, the discount should count as $20 (item 1+item 2), not $40 (item 1+item 2+item 3). In this case, the discount shouldn’t apply, because the cart only contains $20 for discount items and $20 exclude item shouldn’t count as total. But, the plugin calculation will use $2 off coupon to apply.

– on Cart discount, it should allow the exclude categories to add to cart, but not count as total while applying the discount if possible.

– can you also add “free item” option to the auto apply coupon as well for the next version? Thanks.

Finally, problem resolved!!!
In my case: conflicted with plugin “Captcha”.
Hope this could help others. Thanks.

Let me describe more details about this problem after trying whole day:

– Any users (included admin) got “failed to log in” error message, no matter how correct info. they entered through front end widget form. ONLY If users (included admin) logged in from back end log in form (WP default form) to dashboard and then click on “visit site” (left upper corner home icon) which means go back to front end. Then, through wp-members widget front end form logged out, and logged in from front end again –> this will success log in without error message showed up. After the above process, if logged in again through front end without going through back end, it will work without any problem as well.

– BUT, if you changed machine (of course, each user will use different machine), then the fail to log in error message showed up again and can’t log in with any users include admin. Means have to go through back end (log in) – front end (log out) – front end (log in) over again and again, which make no sense at all.

Users can’t log in through widget log in form after updated to this latest version. And this site did not add new plugins or have any cache plugins either. It’s really weird, still did not figure out what’s going on. Hope will get answer soon. Thank you so much.

<ul style="list-style-type:none;">
<li>Username</li>
<li><input type="text" name="user_username" required="required"/></li>
<li>Password</li>
<li><input type="password" name="user_password" required="required"/></li>
<li>?</li>
<li><input name="login" type="submit" value="Login" /></li>

Request: Can you change “li” to “div” in the future update version? Because li makes too much line space. And, also add “flexible” input text “size” to it? Thank you so much for this simple and wonderful plugin.

Hi, webvitaly:

No problem, I will wait for the good news from you.
Thank you so much.

Sure, it’s WP-Members v2.9.5.

If you can figure it out and fix it, will be very happy to use Security-Protection again.

Thank you so much.

Finally, I figured it out myself, hope this answer will help others who have the same issue.

– “uncheck” the option from WP-Members settings –> Moderate registration: Holds new registrations for admin approval

** Question: just wondering how/where to approval the new registrations????? If anyone knows, please advise!! Thanks.

Hi, Chad:

After deactivated WP-Members, all users can login success through WP default login form. So, is there any possible that the new version of the WP-Members caused “Login Failed” issue (block all users login, except top level user)?

Can you find out what’s going on or any advise? Thanks.

Just found out that it conflicts with the plugin – “Security-protection”. After deactivated this plugin, the problem solved!!

Thanks.

Hi, Chad:

Would like to give you an update: just found out that it conflicts with the plugin – “Security-protection”. After deactivated this plugin, it won’t redirect to back end.

Thanks.

Hi, Chad:

I tried to dis-active all recently updated plugins, but still no help, even disable them all, the login still led to back end WP default login form. And, every time clicked on the login button, the url showed “https://domain.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fdomain.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1”, don’t know why and how this “re-direct” action happened??? I tested on my local test site as well, the same result.

Just want to give you more detail information, if you have any idea, please advise, really appreciate it.

I have the other site that also installed WP-Memebers, but the other site has no login problem (no re-direct problem).

Since both sites have very similar plugins installed, it’s very weird!

Hi, Chad:

Thank you very much for your reply.

I did not install any “new” plugin recently, neither any redirect plugin or changed any settings. But yes, some of the installed plugin(s) has updated version recently.

The problem is: user can only login through front end “wp-members widget” login form, but now, when user clicks the widget’s “login” bottom, it will redirect to back end WP default form and have to re-enter the log in info AGAIN, and then it did not go back to the front, it goes to back end WP user profile page instead. Since I don’t want user to know anything about the “back end”, that’s why I was using WP-Members, because it always goes to front, not back.

Just wondering if I missed anything or any settings after the updated, or where should I check for what’s going on. I am sure this is never happened before, until the new updated. Since, I only use WP-Members from the very beginning.

So, if you have any idea for what’s going on or anything that I can check on my side, please advise. Really appreciate it.
