Plugin killed site, here we go again...

[Davek0974]

I have been running "WooCommerce Shipping Pro with Table Rate (BASIC)" for a few years now, it worked great and was easy to setup, my shipping rate table is pretty comprehensive.

Tonight i did a full backup as always and then updated my plugins one by one as usual, this plugin had an update but it has now lost all of my shipping rate data, or at least its not visible or working anymore.

I have contacted my hosts requesting the date of the last full site backup and also logged a mail with the plugin writers.

It would be great if there was an "Undo" feature or "Rollback" within WordPress as it seems so easy to wreck the site even without trying! I could restore by myself but it takes a while.

Anyone else use this plugin??

Is there a way to extract my shipping table data from the database??

 

[Davek0974]

Had to do a manual restore as host backup was too old.

Site is back up but WP refuses to let me log in ??

 

[Davek0974]

Still no login - cleared browser cache, rebooted mac, it just gets stuck in the login page in a loop, no messages, no errors.

The hosting tech guy logged in ok with my credentials so it seems its me??

Anything i can do?


On a plus note - the site is working fine so the plugin definitely broke it,

Delete the plugin folder in cpanel/FTP. That will let you log back in

Hiya Fisicx,

Don't seem to have one??

 

[Davek0974]

Still stuck in a login loop, i have tried on two pc's now, one mac and still can not get in - it just goes from login straight back to login??

Anyone know how i can get access to my site please???

Have two orders that i cant process

 

[Davek0974]

Ok, back in - i tried deleting .htaccess - no change so put that back, then checked the browser link i was trying to use and it contained a redirect but no idea how that go there, deleted it and went direct to wp-admin and it worked.

I have bookmarks for my sites so when manually typing the login address i guess autofill was adding the rest of the junk somehow.

Anyway its all up again, i need to sort the plugin out though as that is totally junk now.

 

[Davek0974]

Just for future reference this is what the corrupted login line looked like....

https://********.co.uk/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://*******.co.uk/wp-admin/&reauth=1

(Site replaced with *******)

No idea how it got the redirect though.

 

[Davek0974]

Hmm, odd - since restoring my site last week, the browser link keeps reverting to the broken style with the redirect as shown above. If I remove the text following .php it all works, if not then i get the redirect loop.

Anyone know what is changing the browser target???

Is it not a matter of just clearing your browser cache/history? Looks like just a browser history auto complete.

 

[Davek0974]

Thanks I have done that many times but will go again

This type of link can be perfectly normal, it is not an autocomplete and it is not corrupted, it is just the way WP handles some logins. For example I get the exact same type of URL shown above if I am using an htaccess login protection - and it logs in just fine, ie custom login pages will use this type of link.

Are you still having issues?

 

[Davek0974]

No, thanks.
I deleted the junk after the .php, saved the bookmark again and now it works ok.
