WordPress Cluster 6.22.11

  • Plugins Updated;
    • PA Importer 1.3.0
      • Removed the smarts that force the plugin to restart itself causing a second crob job. Failed jobs should be amended via a cavalcade job status change from failed to completed.
      • Removed the smarts to check if the pa importer is already running, now manged by cavalcade. This can prevent PA-importer from running if the status is stuck on ‘running’.
      • In addition to requesting the last X stories and processing all of them potentially missing stories if more than X are published, introduced a Batch Limit setting which limits the number of updates/adds per 2 minute cycle, so the system can catch up with missing posts. Typically there are less than a handful per update.
      • Fixed a logic issue where not all updates were counted.
      • Refactored code to make it more readable.
    • Google Tag Manager for WordPress 1.8.1
    • MailChimp for WordPress 4.2.3
    • Pods – Custom Content Types and Fields 2.7.6
    • Wordfence to 7.1.7
    • Yoast SEO to 7.6.1
  • Developers:
    • Fix writing permissions for logs:
      • Update the following line in wp-config.php: 
define( 'WPC_LOG_FOLDER', '/srv/wpcluster/logs' );
      • Reload the config: vagrant reload web
    • Vagrant Update
      • PHP Mess Dectector Rules
      • PhpStorm Settings Export
