Critical error. Had to roll back site to uninstall.
Cuando recibes una web con 80 plugins y de pronto resulta que hay un conflicto entre algunos de ellos, este plugin te facilita la vida de una forma enorme. A la caja de herramientas de cabeza. ¡Gracias!
Installed and activated, and i got a 403 error in NGINX. I was able to resolve the 403, but this led to a new issue, “Error establishing a database connection.” I spoke with a programmer, who said “this is not something we can fix as its the way the plugin is written. The database connection IS working properly, so the plugin is altering the method in some way, which is breaking it.”
Seems that I’m not the only one with this issue. I sure wish Support would respond with a solution.
I really wanted this to work but unfortunately it just sent me to an Apache “Forbidden” page.
Maybe it has a conflict with Wordfence or Solid Security.
