Same here. This is unacceptable! I’ll roll back to the previous version of Subscribe2 and in the long run I’ll look for a more decent alternative…

Unfortunately, it’s not. Still the same effect with the AEC plugin activated…

Thanks nevertheless for bothering,
Ralph

With AEC enabled:

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(dt), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') datestamp, COUNT(t1.ip) first_metric, COUNT(DISTINCT(t1.ip)) second_metric FROM wp_slim_stats t1 WHERE 1=1 AND (t1.dt BETWEEN 1388530800 AND 1391212799 OR t1.dt BETWEEN 1391212800 AND 1391624481) GROUP BY MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(dt)), DAY(FROM_UNIXTIME(dt))

With AEC disabled:

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(dt), '%Y-%m-%d %H:%i') datestamp, COUNT(t1.ip) first_metric, COUNT(DISTINCT(t1.ip)) second_metric FROM wp_slim_stats t1 WHERE 1=1 AND (t1.dt BETWEEN 1388534400 AND 1391212799 OR t1.dt BETWEEN 1391212800 AND 1391624611) GROUP BY MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(dt)), DAY(FROM_UNIXTIME(dt))

Hope that helps!

Well, I could try to. After all, you need the data to see what’s going on here. Please send instructions…

Good idea, but I need your detailed help here. I found my way in the database backend, and I see where I can submit a SQL command via phpMyAdmin. But where do I find the “SQL query generated by SlimStat” so that I can submit it manually?

Funny, two calendar related plugins seem to be in battle here.

I checked the error logs but without any results. One of the two affected blogs has had no errors at all during the last couple of days, the other one has only a theme related warning.

Nevertheless, I can reproduce the issue by switching AEC off and on again. The behaviour of the SlimStat graph is definitively affected by this since one of the more recent Stat updates. However, if you can’t find the reason within a reasonable time, never mind. I think I can live without the previous month’s graphics if I have to. ??

Thanks for trying to help,
Ralph

Thanks, camu. Since AEC hasn’t been updated recently and the problem wasn’t there previously, I assume that you changed something in WP SlimStat which caused the issue…

Cheers,
Ralph

Ha, I got it! I checked which plugins I use ONLY in the two blogs with the strange effect, and I found out that it is the Ajax Event Calendar (AEC), see

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ajax-event-calendar/

which is causing the display problem of WP Slimstat. Here is what WP SlimStat shows with AEC disabled:

So it boils down to the question of which plugin has to be altered to ensure peaceful coexistence… ??

Yes, I use the latest versions both of WordPress itself and of WP SlimStat. And I run the 12 blogs at the same hoster (Strato.de) so I have no idea at all of what may make the difference. Here is a screenshot of the strange effect that affects only 2 of my 12 WordPress installations:

As you can see, all values of the previous months are set to zero.

Thanks for caring,
Ralph

Hi Anthony,

thanks a lot for helping! Another workaround is described at

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-stray-random-quotes-backslashes

and it seems that “magic quotes” are black magic and the cause of all this trouble… ??

Everybody looking for a solution in this matter is encouraged to use the revised plugin fork found at

https://www.zeyalabs.ch/posts/2010/stray-quotes-z/

since the original author is no longer active.

Yours,
Ralph

I updated to WordTwit 3.0 immediately after the new version was released, and this indeed solved the issue. It seems that WordTwit was using “improperly inserted scripts” in it’s previous versions, however since there are no obvious incompatibilities to report anymore, the case may be closed. Thanks.

So this is happening in the admin section if you have both plugins activated?

Correct! However, I’m happy to report that the problem seems to have been resolved: I posted the issue in both plugin’s support forums, and just a couple of minutes ago, a new realease of WordTwit (v3.0) has been released which doesn’t interfere any longer with Easy FancyBox! All seems to be in good co-working order again. ??

Thanks for caring,
Ralph

Thanks, sqhk, I can confirm that with v6.9.3, everything works as well as expected (including the search for multiple word phrases in comments). Thank you, Dan!

Thanks a lot, sqhk, your “tweak” works very well indeed. Great, that allows us to keep “Search Everything” both updated AND working! ??

I really can’t understand why the author of the plugin has discarded a working search method in favour of a non-working one.

However, even the “old method” is far from perfect: While it finds multiple word phrases in articles, it still finds only single words in comments. That’s very sad since extending the scope of the default WordPress search function to comments was one of the main reasons for me for employing a search plugin at all…

Let us hope that the plugin’s author will finally provide a solution that covers every need and aspect!
