Hello, I have "inherited" the administration of this ProcessWire site, which includes an active Padloper store with several products. Looking at the modules page, I assume that this is probably a very old version (not sure if I should be looking somewhere else). How can I upgrade to a more up-to-date/stable version, without having to rebuild the whole shop and inventory from scratch? When I click "check for updates", I get an error that "That module is not currently tracked by the modules directory". Thank you for your help George

@psy That's an option indeed. First I'll ask my provider why the backup version was restored corrupted. I do have older PW wire versions on my site, but none of them managed to get anything back. While I usually only add/edit pages and change almost nothing to modules or other PW settings.

Had a similar nightmare today. Nothing to do with PW itself. Some files were corrupted during upload to the site. Fix was to do a manual PW upgrade, ie: rename wire dir to .wire-3.0.xxx (whatever version) and do the same for index.php upload clean wire directory and index.php To be on the safe side, I also re-uploaded site files I knew were clean Everything then worked 100% as expected. Hope this helps

@ryan Well there were quite a few errors that occured after the upgrade from PW 3.0.123 and PHP 7.x to 8.2. Like in all templates "$feature->template==bfd_events" didn't work and needed change to "$feature->template=='bfd_events'". Or "$webimage = $page->images->random()->url;" no longer worked. I managed to find out everything and got the site back working, when the above mentioned errors started appearing and my provider shut down the site. I went back two weeks in time with a backup option from my provider to make sure I'd get it all as it was before upgrading anything. But now I only see the first lines of the site, and the admin site is no longer reachable: internal error or misconfiguration. Even downgrading to PW 3.0.98 doesn't make any difference and of course now I can't even see any error logs as admin. Other pages like https://www.birthfactdeathcalendar.net/phpinfo.php load normal. With my provider I upgraded my hosting to allow more resources. The AI bot option might be the culprit, could it be Google trying to crawl/index the whole site? There are over 30.000 pages.... Report from Google Search Console: https://search.google.com/search-console/index/drilldown?resource_id=sc-domain%3Abirthfactdeathcalendar.net&pages=ALL_URLS&hl=en&sharing_key=N-nvEOUPuUWWfngX3zI85w.

Thanks to both of you. I did not see the custom paths module. This may work indeed, I will test it, as this is fortunately not a multi-lingual site. And yes, the name property is an option, I could rewrite the navigation module. But knowing the client, I am sure he will want exception for this flat url approach.

@BFD Calendar You can usually downgrade PW as easily as upgrading it, so I would probably just replace the /wire/ with the 3.0.123 version that was working well before. But I think it's unlikely that the version change is the issue, as newer versions are generally more efficient and reliable than older versions. For most sites a version upgrade like this would help the situation. Though there could be something unique in this case, who knows. I would guess you got hit by an AI bot (or a bunch of them) that went nuts and used up the resource limits. If you are hitting this query limit regularly, then your web host would need to increase the resources for your site, or you'd want to upgrade to a plan with more resources. An alternative would be to use WireRequestBlocker to keep the bots from consuming all the resources, and/or using ProCache so that most output can be cached and not hit the database. The most recent error that you posted sounds like something is missing on the file system (per what Matjaz mentioned), or that PHP's opcache needs to be cleared, perhaps a call to opcache_reset() could help matters.

Last week I was on a boat, far from any computer, so that’s why there weren’t any updates. This week I’m back in the office and back to work on the core. The focus has been primarily on optimizations and issue fixes (see dev branch commit log). There were also a couple commits related to PHP 8.4 support. Issue fixes and optimizations will likely continue to get more focus as we get closer to our next main/master version.There are also some Pro module updates in the works as well. Have a great weekend!

Framework 16 daily driver here, excellent choice. Linux? Do it! Outstanding support on the hardware and once you settle in you'll wonder how you ever had to endure Windows.

I suspect that restore was not complete, maybe some files are missing or permissions are not correct? Can you roll back to PW 3.0.123?

Update. I restored to a backup from two weeks ago provided by my provider. Now I'm getting an error on both front and back end: Fatal Error: Uncaught Error: Class 'ProcessWire\InputfieldText' not found in /home/birthfac/www/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldName.module:7 Stack trace: #0 /home/birthfac/www/wire/core/Modules.php(1545): include_once() #1 /home/birthfac/www/wire/core/Modules.php(1502): ProcessWire\Modules->includeModuleFile('/home/birthfac/...', 'InputfieldName') #2 /home/birthfac/www/wire/core/WireClassLoader.php(202): ProcessWire\Modules->includeModule(Object(ProcessWire\ModulePlaceholder)) #3 [internal function]: ProcessWire\WireClassLoader->loadClass('ProcessWire\\Inp...') #4 /home/birthfac/www/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldPageName/InputfieldPageName.module(20): spl_autoload_call('ProcessWire\\Inp...') #5 /home/birthfac/www/wire/core/Modules.php(1545): include_once('/home/birthfac/...') #6 /home/birthfac/www/wire/core/Modules.php(1502): ProcessWire\Modules->includeModuleFile('/home/birthfac/...', 'InputfieldPageN...') #7 /home/birthfac/www/wire/core/WireClassLoader.php(202): ProcessWire\Modules->includeModule(Object(ProcessWi (line 7 of /home/birthfac/www/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldName.module) This error message was shown because: you are logged in as a Superuser.

Off the top of my head, if you require all pages to utilize the unique status, ProcessWire can take care of this for you. You don't ever need to know the path, only the $page->name property, when creating links to pages. That will retain what your client seemingly wants. It may cause issues elsewhere though, if you actually need depth (potentially with URL hooks), or certain modules. I base my response from this short topic:

Hello Adrian, Can this help you?: New URL hooks -> https://processwire.com/blog/posts/pw-3.0.173/ URL segments -> https://processwire.com/docs/front-end/how-to-use-url-segments/ And there have been quite some updates related to URL segments -> via Google you can search site:processwire.com/blog/ URL segments And had you seen this module (in beta version)?: https://processwire.com/modules/custom-paths/ And there is this for the admin/backend if needed: https://processwire.com/blog/posts/page-list-custom-children-module/

My provider shut down my website www.birthfactdeathcalendar.net because my database is getting more requests than the Web Hosting plan can handle. Matomo statistics tell me I have an average of 60 visitors a day. But I'm getting plenty of errors - like 100 in one minute - in the ProcessWire log for all kinds of page requests: Error: Exception: SQLSTATE[42000] [1226] User 'birthfacbfdcal' has exceeded the 'max_questions' resource (current value: 8780) In /wire/core/WireDatabasePDO.php line 549 This started after upgrading from ProcessWire 3.0.123 to ProcessWire 3.0.246. How can I solve this problem? I'm trying to go back to a provider backup from two weeks ago, before the ProcessWire upgrade, hoping to get my website back. For now I can still get into the ProcessWire 3.0.246 admin pages but I don't know for how long. I have several sql backups of my site and made a site profile today. Again I'm not sure how safe it will be to use them without running into the same problem — as long as I don't know what's causing them and how to solve them. If anybody can help....

Thinking about it further, I could probably go with a hybrid approach too. On my new Linux machine, I could set up a LAMP stack directly and run the projects that don't need the level of isolation DDEV provides (which is mostly all my projects) and only use DDEV for projects that would benefit from it (mainly this webapp I've been working on for the last couple years). The main point is that I want everything on one powerful development machine. My old Dell workstation is showing its age when running that webapp, although in production is pretty fast. Thanks for the insights and suggestions!

I just tried to compile the SCSS version via CodeKit with Dart Sass 1.90.0 (a recent version) and got this: Dart Sass failed with this error: expected ":". ╷ 137 │ $property --uk-overflow-fade-start-opacity { │ ^ ╵ _uikit-3.24.0/components/utility.scss 137:11 @import _uikit-3.24.0/components/_import.scss 86:9 @import _uikit-3.24.0/uikit-theme.scss 6:9 @import This should probably be @property? Guess we have to wait for a UIKit update...

Thanks @da² for reporting these issues. I'll look into it as soon as possible. I have to work on the weekend, so I am afraid that probably won't get around to it until next week.

Hello @ryan I just updated the UiKit Library to Version 3.24.0. There have been minor changes in the LESS files of UiKit to make use of newer features (for example the @property rule). But that results in an error when trying to compile those files. For example: It seems that the ProcessWire Less module is a bit outdated (or lets say: the wikimedia less parser that is used under the hood). I downloaded the latest wikimedia less parser version and replaced it with the version used in the ProcessWire LESS module which solved some of the errors but not all. For Example the ":is" CSS selector throws an error too (when used inside a LESS file). So I guess just updating the wikimedia less parser does not work 😞

New feature in StripePaymentLinks (v 1.0.7) 🎉 Hi, everyone! We’ve just added a sync helper to the modules config screen that can pull past Stripe Checkout Sessions into ProcessWire. Super handy if you want to… backfill older purchases migrate existing users or just double-check what’s in Stripe vs. what’s in PW How it works: Scans Stripe sessions (with date range + email filter if you like) Matches them to PW users by email Creates missing users (optional) Creates/updates purchase repeater items exactly like live checkouts Has a test-run mode so you can preview before writing You get a nice report right on the config screen (below "Sync now") with totals and per-session actions (SKIP, LINKED, UPDATE, CREATE) plus the line items. Makes it a lot easier to keep things in sync — especially if you had sales before installing the module. Note: since each run fetches sessions and line items directly from Stripe’s API, the total duration depends on network + Stripe’s response times. In our tests with ~120 sessions the sync took about 15 seconds. Grab the latest version and give it a spin. We already tested this version on some live projects and everything works fine, but always backup before you mess with data 😉 Feedback welcome! 🙌 Cheers, Mike

Snapshot of the moment, got a Mac Studio with 64GB of ram and running around 8-10 projects everything goes smooth. Got the docker provider using around 16GB of memory. I do this too, but I don't auto run it on login. I can see how this could be a bottleneck, I don't think it's unbearable to start every project when needed since like you mention, you actively work in a few of them. With your 128GB of ram I'd definitely give it a shot because yolo haha. "ddev start --all" let's go!

Hi, We have a client who insists on a one level url structure. They are used to it from other CMS. Example: Home menu 1 page 1 This results in the url /menu-1/page-1/ The client wants a custom url: /page-1/ I did unsuccessfully search the modules for a solution. I am currently a bit at a loss on how to achieve this without creating redirects manually through the redirect module or .htaccess. Has anybody already approached this case? Any input is appreciated. Adrian

And another issue. First time I submit the form, after isValid() I call showForm(true), so the form shows with the last value entered. I see the notice "Thank you for your message", and the URL segment is still there. I hit submit a second time and get a 404 page (from my code) because the URL segment is removed.

Reason is the option in PW admin: I always check to end segments with a slash, if I check "no" the form works.

Hello, On a page with an url segment, the form is never valid. It's a simple form with an InputNumber. If I remove the segment it works, if I add it isValid() is always false. Another minor issue, even if an InputFile has setMultiple(false), I can drag and drop several files on it, I don't know if you can do something for this.

Hi, @Jonathan Lahijani! I am pretty sure that your existing setup is superior for the multiproject needs of yours comparing to ddev. You try to standardize while ddev is all for making something custom. I would play with some new php stuff on ddev to keep up with the hype. But would stay with you current setup for the paid work.

Thank you! I guess that is just the way things work. I re-generated the token inside my facebook app and replaced it in the module settings. Then, after 30 minutes the Instagram Feed was working again. The token auto-renews from time to time but it seems that in some rare cases you have to simply generate a new one.
