@p44 said in Is xmlrpc.php file necessary for wordpress?:

Wordpress security plugins let you disable to keep Wordpress instance more secure.

I highly recommend installing WordFence on every single WordPress install.

@nebulon I unzipped before uploading the content via drag & drop into the file manager window.

I used the All in One Migration plugin that has always worked great before (but think this is the first time I've used it with a wordpress.com site)

And yeah, whilst I had saved permalinks on goopagain, perhaps a good ol' go hit save on permalinks over on goop might've done the trick 🤷

@micmc No, I'm not using a WP Reset Plugin. Yes, they're all Multisite Compatible to my knowledge. I'm going debug everything and see what I can come up with. I appreciate the feedback, will report back here with any issues.

@yoyo2p said in WPvivid Won't restore my WordPress site:

developer version of wp vivid

No, you want the Developer version of the Cloudron WordPress app, instead of the "Managed" (aka so locked down it doesn't actually work) version.

In the app store, choose WordPress (Developer) instead of just WordPress

This distinction seems to serve only to confuse people and leads to all sorts of headaches. IMHO the managed WordPress shouldn't exist and only the WordPress (Developer) app should be in the app store.

Or, at the very least "WordPress (Developer)" ought to be renamed to just "WordPress", and the existing managed WordPress app, which is currently called just "WordPress" should be renamed to "WordPress (Managed)" and a message should be added to the install page warning them that they probably want the unmanaged one that actually works, not the locked down one that mostly just doesn't.

I think I had that issue a long time ago and it was something to do with the Auth-LDAP plugin not saving the passwords in the database, and so if that plugin gets disabled then we can't login 'offline'. The WP CLI will be the best way to work around it I think, as it seems you did already also with the password reset tool too! 🙂

There was a UI bug in the dashboard, which I have fixed here - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/dashboard/-/commit/7291d5a9ecf3ce1a450f08f59c075e453ca0297a

@JUVOJustin Have you tried just putting the public IP of the server in htaccess? When openvpn channels the request to wordpress, it will see the public IP of the server itself and not the private/tunnel IP.

@jdaviescoates yep that´s the plugin. To be honest i have no clue about ldap 😄 I actually don´t know how i should set up the plugin to work with the cloudron groups. Thats what my question is mainly about. If it is an issue with the plugin i could reach out to the developer.

@girish Thanks very much, worked! Thanks for the quick replies!

@martinkbs Ah very interesting! I'll have to look deeper into that option. Pretty cool looking. Thanks for the idea. 🙂

@girish said in PHP version change, like the LAMP app?:

@d19dotca Not opposed to it. We will move to Ubuntu 22 based image in the recent future, we can have multiple PHP versions in the base image itself.

That'd be awesome! 🙂 Thanks Girish!

NVM I found a thread that answer this. Based on my current understanding, the cloudron dashboard shows cloudron package updates. For wordpress core in developer edition we have to control that update.

@robi I think this says it all:

@scooke Hello as far as I know you should have this running on WP multisite and thus moving it to Cloudron should be as easy as migrating any WP site.

That being said, it may depends on how you have set your multisite either using sub domains or sub directories. I'm running a multisite using sub directories on Cloudron for a few years without any problems.

There has been a few discussions here on the forum about the capacity of using it with sub domains, however I'm not sure if anything has ended up with a solution for this issue. Maybe, you can make a search for that on the forum, which I will check on myself as well as you remind us about it. 😳

I just tried it, works great. 🙂 Glad we got it sorted. Thanks for the help everyone.

Thanks for sharing the detailed solution here!

@marcusquinn I think this thread was about adding LDAP to WordPress Developer. We added that long time ago. But @d19dotca reported recently that LDAP plugin is not managing the roles properly - https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/6625/logging-in-resets-role-to-editor-instead-of-administrator-or-shop-manager . I have to investigate that.

@girish thanks for your help 😊

@vova have you solved it?

@girish It's a shame, I'll have to change the plugin

@girish - It seemed like tonight it finally updated. Not sure why tonight over any other night though when it's been out for about 2 weeks and I check for auto-updates M-F each night, but it looks good now. 🙂

@girish So I replicated what you had done in the demo. So that seems to be working now -- after I disabled the plugins we have installed. I'm going to work through and go one-by-one on the plugins and see what is going on. This seems to be a really odd issue.

I'm using Contact Form 7 + Friendly Captcha along with SMTP-Mailer. It's working fine for me.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/friendly-captcha/
https://friendlycaptcha.com/

@mdreira sounds good! let us know what you find.

@girish sorry for the long delay in answer, many many thanks

@scooke Ah! Ok, I will try this, thank you!

@zappy for WP migration, https://docs.cloudron.io/guides/migrate-wordpress/ is maybe a good start.

Cloudron annoys the hell out of me if I/Cloudron doesn't control the DNS. Please allow me to make it stop.

Not sure what annoyed you 🙂 Happy to fix whatever that is, but otherwise, you can always change the DNS provider to 'manual' and then Cloudron won't touch your DNS.

Nextcloud limitations. There doesn't seem to be a nextcloud-dev version that lets me have plugins and do custom stuff without a ton of steps.

By nextcloud dev, do you mean just having a "playground" nextcloud installation ? We do this usually using "clone" functionality - https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#clone-app . That will create an exact replica of your existing app into another location and then you can tinker on a non-prod instance.
