Plugin compatibility
Hi, I just installed the FluentCommunity plugin on my Wordpress site, but when I go to open the plugin dashboard I get a perpetual loading screen. Is this due to lack of compatibility with PHP 8.4? Is it likely a conflict with another plugin? I'm excited to explore this, since it's a tool with both LMS and community capabilities that has lifetime payment options, so I hope that this is something that can be resolved!
Not sure what the issue is but I'm running mine on PHP 8.4 so I don't think that is the cause.
Disable caching on the website and on the server.
Leave only Redis Object Cache if it is supported. Don't forget to clear your browser cache or log in via incognito mode to check.
In my opinion, it is better not to install PHP 8.4, as it requires professional-level training to debug the rest of the settings afterwards. Leave the stock PHP that you will have after installing the web server. For example, if it is 8.3, then that's just fine!
For the sake of experiment purity, save the permalinks in WordPress settings once again.
If nothing helps, disable all plugins except FluentCommunity.
Also, if you are new to configuring server internals, it is better to stick with the basic settings and not rush to install the latest versions or super-advanced plugins. Let the site work optimally with the basic settings first, and then, once you have a reliable backup, you can configure and try new things.
Artur Abakarov Won't disabling caching just cause other, more serious and site-wide problems?
R.M. Archer Actually, no, it's perfectly fine to disable caching while you're working on configuring the site. Most often, problems can arise precisely because of the cache. You should work with it when you are sure that it is up to date.
Next, when you are confident that the site is working properly and want to enable HTML cache for static pages, you will need to configure an exception for /portal/* , since FluentCommunity conflicts with HTML cache, and the only working option for it is Redis Object Cache.
