Hi One of my clients says that they created a new news item and that subsequently all their previous news items disappeared (front end and back-end) The first thing I usually do here is to 1. check the backend and see if they mistakenly set the wrong template on a folder 2. check the Trash folder for any deleted items 3. search the entire PW backend for stray news items in the folders they should not be in In all three instances I cannot find any evidence of these news items on their live server. Any tips on where I might be failing to look? Unfortunately, I don't have any type of activity / changes log module installed. On a side note, a backup I have from last week has the full list of news items pages. Ultimately I can just restore this but I'd prefer to do a little digging first. Thanks

Fair enough. Thanks 🙂

Thanks Adrian. When installed, does this version inherit the existing settings etc?

Cheers BitPoet. That worked. Is there a similar fix for the next error that appears?

I'm getting the following error. Having posted it in the GitHub I realise I should post it here instead. Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/site/assets/cache/FileCompiler/site/modules/MarkupSEO/MarkupSEO.module on line 245 I know MarkupSEO is an old and relatively discontinued Module these days but was hoping to fix by upgrading both PHP and PW to latter versions. I am now running ProcessWire 3.0.148 © 2020 and PHP 7.3.13 Issue persists.

I'm using Amazon CloudFront for the first time and have everything setup properly (almost). When I run my URL through a GTMetrix speed test, I repeatedly get a 'Minimise redirects' advisory notice. Below is just a sample of the results. It looks like my /site/ assets are successfully delivered via the CDN URL but are then are redirected back to the source css/img/js on my server. Obviously that defeats the purpose of a CDN 😐 Any ideas on what might be the cause of this? My .htaccess file is the default one supplied with Processwire and I'm running ProCache v3.1.8 ProcessWire 3.0.148 © 2020 Have also attached a screen grab of the Cloudfront setup: BTW happy to DM the actual URL to interested parties. Just can't add it here.

Just a general lack of support out of the box as @jacmaes mentioned.

Is anyone here using WEBP as their output image format and what is your server / environment setup? I know there's support for it in PW lately and decided to investigate. Found it quite difficult to do this on a practical level. IE My current VPS is Cent OS 6 and Plesk and unless I'm wrong, WEBP is not supported by either. Which host and setup are you on that allows you to run WebP? Cheers

How do you guys handle large session tables when sessions are being recorded to the database? I notice one of my sites has a session table of over 14MB Am I missing a way in the Admin or a module to auto-remove any sessions older than X days? Thanks

That's the Module I'm looking at Dragan. Nothing there about auto-locking. Some good options regarding timings etc but no auto-lock. I was sure I was locked out of an install recently when I failed a login 3+ times.

Is the ability to auto-lock a user account after X failed logins part of the Core? Session Login Throttle seems to have settings for timings etc but none where I can set the max to 2 or 3 etc Thanks

Are you using an SMTP service to send emails through? IE PostmarkApp, MailGun, SendinGrid etc

Thanks @dragan. Nice idea re. checking via user role. The forms generate a significant amount of web leads and are under heavy usage. Typically any enquiry needs to successfully route through all of the following which all need to be working perfectly 1. the website itself and the form 2. any SMTP configuration module 3. Our SMTP mail delivery service 4. Client's end email address We had an incident recently whereby the SMTP mail delivery service had a bounce from a client email address due to an IT outage. It then incorrectly flagged an organisation as inactive and stopped sending all future leads. The represents wasted leads but also wastage of AdWords budget etc. So essentially it's an SLA thing for reassurance to make sure everything is working.

I have a few web forms which require testing on a weekly basis and I don't want the recipients (administrators) to receive these test emails. What would be a good way to test approx 15 forms from the front end and have the test delivered a list of secondary administrator recipients? I'm thinking that I could have some kind of config file which watches for a trigger word or email and then understands that it's a test and to bypass the normal admins? All of the forms ask for an email address so I could setup an email such as 'testform@email.not' etc which my config file (hook?) would watch for. Or is there a better way to do this? Additionally, I have a few extra requirements... Forms should goto an alternative success page. This is because I don't want my test to skew my Google Analytics conversion tracking Forms would need to be tested from the front-end and not the PW admin area Any advice appreciated. BTW I realise this should be posted in the proper FormBuilder support forum. I am in the process of renewing my license for access to that support forum.

Keep an eye on the Changelog page too. I find they regularly introduce nice additions to the framework.
