Ok, I understand now. Yes, that will work just fine to filter the list by category.

This is unavoidable. You must give Google a method of payment to get an API key. Please take a look at their new pricing structure. You’ll get $200 of service usage a month at no cost (for now). The is roughly equal if not more favorable than the previous terms when it comes to free usage of their API. They have been emailing their users for about a year about the service changes. If you have not received any of these notifications, check you user profile settings and ensure that your email address is correct/current.

Not sure if this helps or not but I hope it does!

Yes, the random order is cached. Please see the docs page for the order_by shortcode option for the details on this. There is a yellow highlighted section before the examples which outlines the details.

Hope this helps!

I took a much closer look at the screenshot you had attached to a previous reply of the database upgrade message. It contains a partial referrer in the URL. It appears the redirection to this screen occurs after the export is complete but before the CSV download occurs.

Can you please look in the ../wp-content/uploads/ folder to see if their are CSV files? If there is, can you download one and see if it is complete?

Please create a temp admin account using this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

Reply back, as a private reply, with the temp admin login link and I’ll take a look.

Looking thru the core WP code, the only way to land on that page is when the WP version stored in the WP options table does not equal the version hard coded into a file. I can not fathom how this value would get changed/removed by doing an export. Connections does store transient data in the WP options table which is removed during the download part of the process. I do not believe that would cause this as other areas of Connections uses the same transient methods.

To restore the admin, do you restore files and database or just the database?

Ok, I got in initially, now I am stuck at the upgrade screen. Did something change on you side? Can you restore the admin?

This is definitely the most bizarre thing I’ve seen in WP in recent times.

RE: Why does clicking the export prompt for a database upgrade?

Unknown. The export has no code at all in it that would tell the core of WordPress to trigger its database upgrade process.

What version of WordPress is installed?

Can you please install this plugin and create a temp admin account so I can review:

Ok, if you disabled Connections and all other plugins, the source of the issue was not Connections. Connections does not make permanent changes to WordPress, including the export. If the source were Connections, deactivating with the other plugins would have resolved it. I think this may have been an unfortunate coincidence. Like I said WordPress was pushing updates yesterday, that could have been it. They do auto updates of point “minor” releases. These generally just happen in the background. Perhaps that update had failed for some reason.

@ mattiasa

I see you just made recently made a purchase, having you been running Connections for a long while or just now installed it? Or, did you install it once before on the site long ago? I’m asking because I’m trying to determine if that database upgrade message was from Connections or something else.

WordPress was pushing updates last night, I wonder if they pushed that update to your site as you were working with Connections.

Try this…

Login into your site with FTP or thru your web host’s control panel file manager.

Navigate to the ../wp-content/ folder.

Make a new folder named plugins-deactivated.

Navigate to the ../wp-content/plugins folder.

In that folder you will find the connections folder. Move that folder to the newly created plugins-deactivated folder.

Has access to your site been restored?
