I am a JavaScript developer now working with WordPress/WooCommerce as a data manager. Only tech guy on site. Anyways, we have a folder for brand images that I can access through WP File Manager. I uploaded a new image by over writing the old one. A brand we sell changed their logo. I thought the change would be reflected once our caching updated. Other changes did update and I have access to when our search service cache updates. No changes. Now I don't yet have access to the actual server - only the WP Dashboard. My question is what needs to happen before this change occurs? Normally I would be using git and have full access to my linux server but that really isnt my role here. Just curious how WP File Manager works. Thanks.

I have a wordpress project that's online that is setted with Site Kit Plugin. I have created a new wordpress project that will replace the old one. My doubt is: If I will bring the new project to the configured domain, settings will be the same or I have to configure everything again?
If the domain is changing, you should reset Site Kit before migrating. This is to ensure no incorrect site records exist on the new domain. Without resetting it's possible that when the plugin performs lookup for data on the old domain.
Even if you don't reset, the plugin will likely recognize a URL change although there are various ways to migrate a site and some can cause issues.
Note also that you can connect Site Kit to the same Google Analytics property on your new domain also. If your domain name on the new site is not based off the current site, you may have to create a new Search Console property.
If you run into any questions you can reach out in the Site Kit plugin support forums.
I am facing a very weird caching issue on my site. The site is hosted on WP Engine with Cloudflare setup. Here is the complete scenario when the user tried to access the site.
When the user upgrades to pro after successful payment, then all the pro listing should be visible to them OR I can say they can access pro listing. But after successful payment when a user tries to access the pro listing it shows you need an upgrade to pro. After hard refresh 2 to 3 times. It works normally.
Note:
I have already reached out to the support team. They are working
on it. I am just want to prepare my self for plan B :)
My site does not have any caching plugin.
I have already bypassed the caching from Cloudflare for that page.
I have added Cache Level to Bypass in page rules. Let me know if I need to add anything else to the page rules.
I am sure it is a caching issue. I am open to suggestions on how to fix that.
Thanks!
you can use wp-super cache plugin.
and you need to clear your browser cache.
I am using wp-engine. when I faced like that, I used wp-super cache plugin.
if the plugin is not working, you are working on different place.
check your file path, please. live site or staging site... because you might make a mistake..
I want to set up a system where a developer can work on a separate server on a wordpress website.
My question is: If in the meantime changes are made to the live site (like plugin updates, new plugins, new posts, new comments, etc), how is one able to import a new feature (e.g. a new page) from the development server on the live site while making sure that previous changes on the live site don't get deleted?
I am looking to understand how this all works. In a sense, I would like to have some kind of version control system.
Thanks in advance :)
You can version control your own code using git. Basically we would init a new git repo and commit changes onto this repository. This can lie separately outside of the core files. i.e you only need to include the wp-content directory and ignore all the other core wordpress files.
Here is a good article on how to do a really good versioning system for a website.
http://toroid.org/git-website-howto
The posts and pages (basically content) in a wordpress site however lies in the database.Any changes made there will be permanent.
The only option is to keep taking regular backups of the content. You can do this by using an automated backup tool.
If you really want to version control your database, here is an article that helps:

This one is a tricky one. You cant host a single website on two servers. Just imagine a website having 2 hosted urls..!! No way.. You can never do that.
You better create a new user and give access to him. Look carefully in the settings and be a admin. You will have a chance to approve or reject what the second user changes.
Hope this helps.
I realised that, according to the Google Cloud documentation, unfortunately running wordpress on google app engines does provide any core FTP services!!
Thus if I want to update any new Wordpress themes/plugins onto my Google App Engine each time I add/remove new code, how am I supposed to update them on Google App Engine if there's no FTP service available?!
Also would the gsutil update function work? Will it behave the same thing as I would do upload/download wordpress themes/plugin as I do use the WP Admin screen.
My only concern for the above approach is that I have my local wordpress that's pointed to this URL localhost thus I might worry that when I upload my local copy, this will overwrite the site url of my google app engine account!! Is that case? I need some confirmation!
There's no FTP, the way you upload changes to App Engine is through the appcfg.py utility (or using the graphical launcher tool). This will update all the code in your application, including any plugins or themes you may have installed.
However it will not update the database, which usually means that content and settings that you have running will not change. Just the themes and modules.
Finally, App Engine has a neat feature called Versions, which allows you to run multiple copies of your Wordpress code simultaneously (they share the same database) under different URLs. Each version gets a URL like v2.myblog.appspot.com So if you update your code, do it to a seperate version, check that it works, then if you are happy with it, make it the default version. You can read more here:
https://gae-php-tips.appspot.com/2013/06/25/harnessing-the-power-of-versions-on-app-engine/
First there is no FTP service in AppEngine.
1-You can use CloudStrage for upload by default plugin that is Google Cloud Storage plugin.
2-Enter the GCS bucket name [YOUR_PROJECT_ID] .appspot.com that you changed to ACL
2.5- Before 2, Change principal to Allusers default bucket [YOUR_PROJECT_ID] .appspot.com
3- If your region is correct that is CloudSQL, GCStrage,
Place your theme under projects> wordperss > theme and deploy it.
You can use your theme in App Engine
I know I should post this on the WPMU forum, but no one writes me back and I'm just trying to find a larger audience hoping you have run into this issue as well.
I have built a WPMU site for a client, and I am able to upload media into the Media Library and within a Post or Page perfectly. I thought my job was finished, yet the client can't upload any media at all. I'm located in Kentucky, they are located in New England (if that even matters). I had the client record their process of uploading as I thought they were simply not following my instructions for uploading, yet they are doing everything correctly.
When uploading a file it goes through the process of allowing them to select a file and it says it uploads it, yet when it is finished uploading nothing is in the Media Library or in the Post.
Video of the client trying to upload in Media Manager (http://www.screencast.com/users/CatherineWeber/folders/Jing/media/945d33fa-a752-45fd-9bc1-f76fc5a1814a)
Video of the client trying to upload within a Post (http://www.screencast.com/users/CatherineWeber/folders/Jing/media/b5c60e25-f0b5-40c0-a820-c2fc9eb00906)
Asking the client to disable Flash Uploader didn't work :(
Yet, I can login to the WPMU site, access their blog's backend and can easily upload a ton of files. I am so lost at to what the issue is here. I am running version 2.8.4a, and will try to upgrade to latest release hoping this will fix things.
Are you using same blog and same username to login ?
Ask the client what media exactly he is trying to upload. PHP server has "Maximum allowed size for uploaded files"(upload_max_filesize) option. So if this limit is set to 2M(M stands for MB in php.ini), but the client is trying to upload something bigger...it can't be uploaded.
Also check the filetype...I'm not sure, but I think wordpress has such a filter.
If even this doesn't help, ask the client to record itself what exactly is doing on his screen. There could be errors returned, or any other little missed, by him things ;)
