[Resolved] Question x2

[taratamiko]

I just realised that my plan ran out. I have access to the forums only if I upgrade every year, is that right? And with the new licence code do I have to put that in WordPress?

Thanks for clarifying this for me.

The other question is, are you able to help me with this problem:

I migrated to Flywheel and they noted that I had an error in my functions file which means they couldn’t put me on the php 7.1 version. You can see the error here:

Message from hosting:

So all in all Tara, this was a successful migration — but sadly I did try to set you up on a new PHP 7.1 installation but your generatepress-child theme had the fatal error, see attached.

_This caused your website to produce a 500 and not load at all. But I did manage to rescue it somewhat and revert you to PHP 5.6. – if you can fix or get a developer to help with this – going forward when you’re ready we can upgrade you to PHP 7.1 (which on average offers quite a good performance increase).

Thank you in advance for your help with this.

Hi there,

I refunded your second full purchase so you can just renew your current license. That way you can keep your license key. More on that here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/renewing-license-keys/

I tried responding to your email, but it was bounced back a couple times.

As for the error – what function do you have on line 60 in your child theme functions.php file? That’s the problem function which might need adjusting.

Hi Tom

My emails work now! I migrated my site to Flywheel and forgot to update my email dns records!

Thanks for the refund! I will be sure to renew my license.

I figured out the problem php (just don’t know how to fix it)

if ( $wpdb->get_var('SELECT count(*) FROM‘ . $wpdb->prefix . ‘datalistWHEREurl= "'.mysql_escape_string( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ).'"') == '1' )

I took a look herePHP Function Explanation
but i’m not brave enough to make the change.

Could you please suggest how I might change this in my child theme?

Many thanks

[Tom]

What’s the function do exactly?

[taratamiko]

I don’t actually know. I just pretend to understand these things

I put the code here so you can take a look:

Function.php code, Line 60

Thanks a million

If you don’t know, I would remove it. If you didn’t add that, I would guess you might be hacked and someone put that code in there.

The file should start with:

<?php
/**
 * Generate child theme functions and definitions
 *
 * @package Generate
 */

If you think you’ve been hacked, change all of your passwords (hosting, FTP, WordPress etc..) and make sure everything in your Dashboard is up to date.

[taratamiko]

Yikes! You’re right….I certainly didn’t put that there, all my code went after the Generate Press mention.

Thanks! I’ve made those changes.

Appreciate your help!

[Tom]

No problem! Keep an eye on that file – if you notice it happen again, I would consider moving hosting providers, as getting hacked when everything is up to date etc.. is usually a server issue.

[taratamiko]

Thanks! I actually switched from A2 Hosting (shared) to Flywheel (managed) It was Flywheel who spotted this! Have to check the function files on all my other A2 Hosting sites now!

[Tom]

No problem! 🙂
