We are using the DButton module as a download button inside an article and using
{loadposition xxx} to display it.
About 5 days ago, the button worked fine but since then, something has happened and now it only works if a user is logged in. If they aren't, the button just refreshes the page. (but does show).
Also during testing we unpublished the module - and it took over 5-10 minutes for the module to 'vanish' when not logged in. When logged in it 'vanishes' immediately and indeed when logging back out it reappeared despite being unpublished!
None of the module files have been edited, nor have we changed anything/installed any new extensions on the website in the last 2 weeks or so.
We used JDump and found no errors within the module, therefore am truly unsure what the problem could be.
We also got in contact with the developers and they said they had never come across or heard of a problem like this before and that they would take a look, however we have not heard from them since.
Reinstalling the module didn't help either.
Has anyone ever come across anything like this before or have an idea or solution?
Caveat: I never used DButton but looks quite handy.
Are you using custom levels? What are they set to? It sounds like something to do with permissions set to registered only instead of public somewhere.
Try disabling all other extensions just in case.
Are you linking to a URL or a file on your server?
Maybe take a backup with Akeeba and install a local version to see if it does the same thing. Can then try replacing your template with a core one as well as uninstalling everything except for DButton.

I got a call from a customer who's Wordpress site is not working and I started taking a look at but I cannot understand what's going on there.
On the same server (only another directory) there are other wordpress setups running and they are working perfectly fine. So that's the first part that is kind of ... interesting.
When I logg in to the WP-Admin and access the page again it loads without any problems. Everything is displayed correctly. Same if I add a PHP GET-Parameter like ?anythinginteresting.
In the apache error logs I only find "PHP Notices" - nothing I would worry about.
Any hints? I'm going out of ideas right now...
Seems to be a caching issue as mentioned by #michealrmcneill it comes from the WP-Super-Cache Plugin. This plugin is not "knocked out" when disabled in WP-Admin it needs to be deleted in /wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/* to be removed. Addionally there are two files: wp-content/advanced-cache.php and /wp-content/plugins/wp-cache-config.php that are related to the plugin.
I've made a custom module that successfully adds a new menu in the admin->configuration section and saves some settings to magento config, and also creates a table at first run/install. Everything works great locally, but when I move the module to another server I get a 404 error when clicking the link added in the admin area, and nothing seem to work - for maybe a couple of hours. Eventually it just starts to work. I've usually just came back the next day and the 404 is gone and everything works as expected, but if I try to clear all caches, reindex the site, even manually clearing the var folder - nothing will help. It will still give me a 404 error until a couple of hours or a day later.
I don't fully grasp what I should do to avoid the error - but I'm just confused as to how this problem can go away by itself after a while?
Thanks in advance!
This is very common when installing a new extension (that adds Admin pages). All you need to do is log out, and log back in.
I have a site which uses wordpress. For some reason, some of my pages keep refreshing continuously. I am not able to replicate the issue continuously. However, in random I have seen some pages keep refreshing automatically. When I retry the same pages after few mins, it is working fine. My users also experiencing the same problem. When they report me the issue with a url and if I check that page it is working fine. So, I am sure the issue is there but unable to replicate the problem or troubleshoot the issue.
This is not a browser or system issue. The issue occurs with registered and unregistered users.
So, I need your help on this to troubleshoot this problem. Is there anyway to find out whether the page is keep refreshing by adding some code in wordpress theme php files like writing some sort of logs, etc.? So that I can try to troubleshoot the problem.
The same theme with plugins works fine in another site with other hosting provider. I have also checked with my hosting provider. They replied back and said they are not able to find any issues on their side and cannot help further, as the issue occurs in random.
Thanks in advance :)
This sounds like your site may have been hacked. Check the page source (View Source or Ctrl + u) for <script> tags that you don't recognize. If you are unsure, try disabling all of your plugins and use the default theme. If the issue persists, then it is most likely an issue with your site being hacked, and you should reinstall WordPress from scratch, and do fresh installs of all plugins and themes. If you are using a custom theme, upload a version that you know was working. Also, be sure to change passwords for your dashboard and hosting account.
If disabling a plugin or using the default theme makes the issue go away, then it's a bug with that particular theme/plugin. In this case, report the bug to the appropriate party (person/company responsible for the particular plugin/theme that's causing the issue).
How to Debug
Try to find a way that you can consistently test for the problem. For example, if you can refresh 20 times, and it happens twice every time, then you have your test to use. It sounds like it won't be as simple as this, but that's the basic idea... find the minimum number of times it takes to come across the issue on a regular basis, and test for it 3 times for each plugin you disable (and when you turn the main theme back on).
I'm trying to create a development mirror site of an ezPublish site so I can stage changes without messing up the main site. I copied the database and the filesystem and changed the ini files to point at the new database, but when I loaded the page I found that none of my objects were being loaded. So I break out the debug bar, and I find that for some reason the language_mask that is being used is incorrect...the bitfield is set to 4 while the mask being used in the query to load the page is 3.
So I poke around the ini files and I see a setting called SiteLanguageList[] which seems to set up 'backup langauges'. I found that If I set SiteLanguageList[] to:
SiteLanguageList[]=eng-US
SiteLanguageList[]=eng-GB
and my site started showing up. Yay!
However, all is not well. When I actually try to EDIT the page in the admin, every entry shows up blank. What makes things doubly weird is that it shows up in the admin as long as I'm merely looking at it. And then there's this weird discrepancy, where depending on where I'm looking in the admin, it either says that the page is eng-US or eng-GB depending on where I'm looking on the same page.
Seriously, what the heck is going on here?. If I click the edit button, nothing shows up.
Same question on ez Publish community
Are you sure that the database
was imported correctly? Please check
the database using "Setup - Upgrade
check" utilites
Clear all caches
manually (run "php
bin/php/ezcache.php --clear-all"
from ez root directory)
Check the
ez error log
(/var/log/error.log)
Check the permissions for the ez
folders (cache, settings, etc.)
I have a Magento site in which there are about 20-25 extensions installed, among which 7 are commercial, which means that those 7 extensions are fully encrypted. Also none of these extensions use the User Roles & Permissions section, in the Admin area.
Now, a few days back, I got into a silly problem which is really taking a toll on me. I wanted to create a new User Role (from System > Permissions > Roles), where I already have 14 other Roles set. Now whenever I click the "Add New Role" button or try to edit any of the existing roles, I get the following error:-
<my-magento-site-domain>: This script is locked to another domain.
What I'm pretty sure is that this error is somewhere related to the use of extensions, but I don't know & can't understand where it is coming from. I have tried to solve this error by disabling all the extensions & clearing the full cache & deleting all the folders in the "/var/" folder, but nothing has happened.
Magento version: 1.3.2.3
I know that Magento upgradation is necessary, but can't do so due to those extensions.
Can somebody please help me in this matter? Any help is greatly appreciated.
When you say that you disabled all the extensions, how did you perform that step? I've found that the System>Config>Advanced status values are often ignored by extensions, as are various other attempts to disable. The only way that you can be certain of disabling the extension (IMHO) is to remove their .xml files from etc/modules.
It sounds like the error that you are getting is a Javascript generated error. You could grep the /js folder to find that error text to see if you can track down the source of the error. Likewise, use Firebug (or Chrome Inspector, choose your browser poison) to debug the JS error. Post what you find here...
One more option is to manually create the new role using phpmyadmin. By inspecting the admin_role table, you'll work out the syntax fairly quickly (e.g. tree_level ="1", role_type = "G". Then see if you can edit the new role through the UI.

You can try with clean magento install without commercial extensions. Add a role and see if this happens. Then add commercial extensions one by one and test when this error occurs.
I assume that you have already searched all magento files (at least non encrypted ones) to see if there is any containing your error message...
