Wikiomatic – suddenly died in the middle of using it

Hi again,

I can’t help noticing this issue is marked as resolved (I didn’t do that).

Anyway… I have done more troubleshooting and realize that several plugins, that worked fine yesterday, now conflict with Wikiomatic (don’t know how that suddenly happened).

If I deactivate these tried and true plugs, I can still use Wikiomatic:

Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights

Mashshare Share Buttons

Ocean Extra

I will do so for now, to be able to finish my project creating the wiki pages. Then I guess the solution will be to switch off the Wikiomatic plugin. Something must have changed with the plug to cause all the others to suddenly, and simultaneously, start interfering.

One related question; Can I safely deactivate/uninstall Wikiomatic without getting a problem with the pages/posts it has generated?

All the best.

Thanks. Than I will do this.

I don’t think the other plugs are the real problem.
They worked fine together with Wikiomatic up until last night (European time) when the “Wikipedia to posts” page suddenly started generating the “This page could not be found!” message. The “conflicting” plugs still work as normal on several other sites of mine. Who knows, maybe it gets solved as mysteriously as it appeared 🙂

Well… back to work.
Cheers

It died again, but after digging deeper it appears as if WooCommerce probably is the root cause of this conflict. Why… I don’t know. But after deactivating it, it looks like Wikiomatic is back again (also with the 3 aforementioned plugs activated). Crossing my fingers this was the real solution. Cheers

PS. Even with these (hopefully temporary) conflicts, I still love your plugin. Keep up the good work.

Version 4.0.1

But I dunno how much help it is, cause… it died again (with WC deactivated).
Apparently there are some moving parts somewhere.

I’m just working with adding wiki pages (not updating other plugs, themes or WP). Since last night, I spend just as much time trying to figure out what to deactive next. Think it’s time for a timeout soon. I’ve seen the “This page could not be found!” page one too many times.

Sure.
Anything specific I should ask for?

What are the specs required for Wikiomatic to function properly?

Ok, so it’s not memory intense or something like that (or otherwise put a heavy workload on their system)? It’s just good to know on beforehand.

Hi again,

I’ve been in touch with them.
Basically, the only advice I got was to raise memory limits, which I have done.

I have also disabled all other plugs. Keeping only Wikiomatic.

I have changed theme from my OceanWP to the traditional Twenty Twenty.

(so basically running Wikiomatic as the only plug on a clean Twenty Twenty WP)

I have uninstalled Wikiomatic and reinstalled it.

I have re-added the Google Knowledge Graph API Key.

As a long-shot, I also tried Chrome in incognito mode and also Opera.

None of the above has helped.

The “Wikipedia to Posts” tab appears to be gone for good now. All I get is “This page could not be found!”.

I’m running out of options here.

Since I cannot use Wikiomatic anymore I guess I just have to switch back to my prefered theme, activate my plugs and continue working on other parts of the website.

What do you suggest now?

All the best.

…one more thought/speculation…

What about the possibility that this is Google Knowledge Graph API Key related?

My key has made 233 successful calls until recently.

When I check their site I find this warning/info:

Remember to configure the OAuth consent screen with information about your application.

The “OAuth consent screen” have two options: ‘Internal’ and ‘External’

I’m only allowed to pick ‘External’ since I’m not a G Suite user.

The info text for ‘External’ tells me this:

In this mode, your app is available to any user with a Google account. External apps that request sensitive or restricted user data must first be verified by Google. This process may take 4-6 weeks. In addition, if you selected restricted scopes, you’ll need to go through an independent security review, which can cost USD $15k-$75k

Is this what causes the the whole thing?
What am I supposed to do now? This is getting pretty complicated.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi again,

I’ve tried it, but no luck.
I have sent you the login credentials (via email).

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Hi Szabi,

Wow. You are a genius 🙂
I will give it real test spin later tonight.

Thank you for awesome support and a great plugin.

You sure did, but… now it’s back again.
Could you please do more magic?

I have no idea what’s causing this.
It just randomly dies after adding a new query and then pressing the “Save Settings” button, or the “Select An Action/Run This Rule Now” button (can’t remember which one it was).

Can it be because there are many queries now (even though none of them are marked as “Active”? The first 100+ went really smooth without any problems at all. When you get it back up and running, should I delete the old queries? The pages they created won’t be affected by it, I guess? (As long as I don’t lose any pages I don’t mind deleting the queries, if that helps.)

At least you know where to look for the problem now 🙂

I will go on to working on other parts of the site again until you have had a look.

I have just checked my cPanel and the max_input_vars is set to 100000. Isn’t that pretty high compared to the 1000 default? Please advice and let me know how much it should be for the plugin to work.

Should I delete old queries to solve this issue? Will the pages they created be affected by it? (As long as I don’t lose any pages I don’t mind deleting the queries, if that allows me to finishing the project.)

I have made screenshots of my PHP settings (see attachments). Does any of this look wrong to you?

I have deleted all old queries. I will take it for a test spin tonight.
