@girish I see it now, that’s great, thank you!

@luckow the past 2 days I rented a VPS, installed Bunkerweb and played with it but its way to much and way too complicated! I created this https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/14982/feature-request-simple-per-app-waf-with-templates-kiss and hope the @girish and @nebulon will have a look at it?

I built a new website on a subdomain, then later moved it to the root domain. After the move, problems started. To get the site online, I deactivated plugins, but every time I tried to set up the www redirect or increase the memory limit, the app would get stuck on “Starting.” In the end, the issue was caused by the SSO plugin. I restored a fresh installation from backup, increased the memory limit to 512M in wp-config.php, and fixed the SSO plugin by changing Requires Plugins: openid-connect-generic to Requires Plugins: daggerhart-openid-connect-generic. After that, everything worked normally. Thanks, everyone for the help. [image: 1766486826632-ishot_2025-12-21_11.07.40-resized.jpg]

Right.. thanks for reporting @fbartels . cc @vladimir.d

@girish Totally understandable. Thank you for the workaround.

I already found the way; I just copied and pasted the Redirect URI from the plugin notes into Cloudron OpenID.

That would indeed be useful.

If you are feeling brave I found https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/121687/wordpress-hide-the-username-password-fields-in-login-page But I think the feature you want is essentially https://github.com/oidc-wp/openid-connect-generic/issues/477 . There's a PR at https://github.com/oidc-wp/openid-connect-generic/pull/478 which hasn't been merged.

Thanks for the heads up. It seems the fork is by the same author. Wonder what gives.

@Miroo said in Wordpress stuck at starting: But how can I disable the sso plugins without running to these issues again? The sso mode is set/unset at installation time. This cannot be changed later. What you can do is something like this: Take back up of app . Download the backup configuration Install an empty WP instance. When installing, choose "Leave user management to the app" Then, App -> Backups -> Import . Use config from step 1. If things work out, you can delete the original app and move this new instance into www .

Hello @jamie.mckenzie @jamie.mckenzie said in Wordpress - Unable to restore from backup: Does the automated backup not include files outside of the data folder? The Cloudron backup only includes the database and files in /app/data/ @jamie.mckenzie said in Wordpress - Unable to restore from backup: It doesn't get to restore the key files like wp-config.php - and these files are missing at the backup location (s3) This is indeed strange. For the WordPress Developer app the file wp-config.php is located in /app/data/public/wp-config.php, so it should be included in the backup. @jamie.mckenzie said in Wordpress - Unable to restore from backup: There is no memory issues as the server has plenty of available memory for restore. That the server itself has enough memory is not the point. The point made was that you might need to increase the apps memory limit. @jamie.mckenzie said in Wordpress - Unable to restore from backup: I have tried clearing down the cached files in the backup storage down to the bare minimum yet it still fails. I would strongly advise against tinkering with anything inside the backup. In Cloudron 9 backup integrity checks are added which will fail if you delete files by hand. @jamie.mckenzie said in Wordpress - Unable to restore from backup: Also is there a way to alter the back configuration so more than 10 files are downloaded concurrently Indeed, should we make this configurable @staff? @jamie.mckenzie Could you please share more details about your S3 provider?

Hello @Miroo and welcome to the Cloudron forum @Miroo said in Migrating WordPress to cloudron from managed vps: Is WordPress app on cloudron only with Apache? The WordPress app is running Apache 2 inside with MPM. But above all apps is running NGINX handling traffic. @Miroo said in Migrating WordPress to cloudron from managed vps: Is there any way to use nginx web server? No, and with Cloudron you don't need to worry about that. The WordPress Apps Apache 2 can also be tweaked to your liking. On that note. Cloudron offers the WordPress App as a Managed and Developer version. Docs here: https://docs.cloudron.io/packages/wordpress-managed/ https://docs.cloudron.io/packages/wordpress-developer/ @Miroo said in Migrating WordPress to cloudron from managed vps: Can I choose php version for my WordPress installation? I have an app connected to the Vps that requires a specific php version. The WordPress app is using PHP version 8.3.6 and can't be changed. The LAMP app offers PHP Version selection so if this is a must-have, you might need to install WordPress inside the LAMP app yourself. But, if your WordPress requires a very specific PHP version, why is that? Outdated custom code? Outdated plugins? I recommend getting rid of this limitation since it also blocking PHP security updates for you. @Miroo said in Migrating WordPress to cloudron from managed vps: I saw the WordPress installation has a redis configuration, do i need to install a new plugin and connect it to that config or is it pre-configured in the WordPress itself? Cloudron takes care of this, you don't need to configure that. @Miroo said in Migrating WordPress to cloudron from managed vps: Since I'm migrating wp, I'm gonna use updraftplus and it's gonna replace everything with my previous wp instance. Would this be safe or will it break some pre-configured stuff on cloudron? I can't write a definite answer to that. It seems other people might have had issues, but you can only know by trying. For other posts regarding updraftplus see https://forum.cloudron.io/search?term=updraftplus&in=titlesposts @Miroo said in Migrating WordPress to Cloudron from managed vps: What are some advantages/disadvantages of installing wp app directly VS using LAMP? One advantage of the LAMP app I already mentioned, the selection of the PHP version. But the disadvantage is that you will need to take care of every WordPress update yourself. Also, you will miss the app isolation and sandboxing of WordPress, meaning you have more responsibility to make sure your WordPress stays secure. I would recommend trying the migration first with the managed WordPress app and see if issues arise. While doing that, you can create a Post in the @wordpress-managed category and while doing that writing a blog style post. This way, if issues arise, people here can follow your steps and help very fast. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate and keep asking. We are always happy to help.

@girish Yes, rsync. Provider is Hetzner Storage Box

@jdaviescoates Might just be nothing to update. I expect they are attentive to it, as so many of their other plugin clients will use. I'm sure you know, but for anyone skipping to the end of this thread. FluentSMPT will stop working every time the Cloudron App is restarted and SMTP Mailer is reinstalled and reactivated. That's the issue this post prmarily aims to address.
