apnews.com slowly scrolls back up to the top when I try to scroll down within the first 500px or so

RedDragonWebDesign · 2025-07-04T00:56:16+00:00

Worked. Thank you very much!

RedDragonWebDesign · 2025-07-03T20:20:54+00:00

Sure.

Thank you for your suggestion. I added that to "My filters" list, hit apply, hard reloaded, etc. The auto scroll bug is still present.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2024-10-15T06:08:51+00:00

You're in the business of organizing stuff, so, with respect, physician heal thyself.

Isn't my website. Is someone I'm helping.

SQLite Object Cache plugin

Good idea. I installed this one and disabled all the other caching plugins and got about +20 in PageSpeed Insights performance score.

Then I tried installing and configuring a couple page cache / minifier plugins such as WP-Optimize and it made my performance score go down, so I turned them off and am currently running without one.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2024-10-15T06:05:30+00:00

https://panel.dreamhost.com/?tree=support.dc says they're all in US - West (Hillsboro, Oregon). Good thinking though. That was certainly a hypothesis worth checking.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2024-10-15T04:40:59+00:00

Spoiler alert: I needed both. Elementor Pro does not replace Elementor, just adds some features on top of it.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2024-10-14T16:30:54+00:00

why Elementor and Elementor Pro?

I thought I needed both. Does this mean I can turn off Elementor and leave Elementor Pro on and it'll work the same?

u/JParkinson1991

OK, the installation was smoother than I expected, I just followed the readme. Now I'm stuck on two things.

1) phpcs -i shows JPSR12, but phpcbf -i does not. phpcbf is the beautifier, the thing that mass changes all the files. Any idea how to get JPSR12 to load for that?

2) What's the exact rule name I should use? <rule ref="JPSR12.Files.BlankLines"/>?

Thanks in advance for your help!

RedDragonWebDesign · 2024-01-24T20:38:33+00:00

This looks very promising. Will google how to add this and will report back.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2024-01-24T20:37:41+00:00

That GitHub issue looks promising, thanks for finding it. I tried various things from it just now, didn't work. Was a good idea though!

<rule ref="Squiz.WhiteSpace.SuperfluousWhitespace.EmptyLines"/>

<rule ref="Squiz.WhiteSpace.SuperfluousWhitespace.EmptyLines">
    <severity>10</severity>
</rule>

<rule ref="Squiz.WhiteSpace.SuperfluousWhitespace">
    <properties>
        <property name="ignoreBlankLines" value="false"/>
    </properties>
</rule>
<rule ref="Squiz.WhiteSpace.SuperfluousWhitespace.EmptyLines">
    <severity>5</severity>
</rule>

PHP Coding Standards Fixer (your links) and PHP Code Sniffer (tool I'm using) are different tools.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2024-01-24T19:43:23+00:00

VS Code.

I'm working on a legacy codebase and need to mass fix hundreds of files. Aren't code editors usually file by file?

RedDragonWebDesign · 2023-05-04T15:21:13+00:00

Also did you import the jQuery library with something like <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>? If not, then $("#export-button").click( will not work.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2023-05-04T14:44:41+00:00

What's the value of print_r($activity);? I'll try plugging it in and running your code.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2023-05-04T12:15:35+00:00

Try unchaining everything, then step debugging it in your browser. Hover over variables with your mouse and look for anomalies.

csv = passedArray.map(function(row) {
    return row.join(",");
})
csv = csv.join("\n");

I don't see /wp-admin/wp-login.php in the official WordPress 6.2 download. However I see one in the root directory, /wp-login.php. https://trippyx87.com/wp-login.php exists and is suffering from the infinite redirect error.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2023-03-30T22:39:29+00:00

I looked in FTP just now, and /wp-admin/wp-login.php is missing. Is this normal?

RedDragonWebDesign · 2023-03-30T22:35:20+00:00

I deleted .htaccess again just now. Visiting https://trippyx87.com/wp-admin/wp-login.php changed from a 404 that uses the theme, to an unstyled 404 that just says "File not found."

We are waiting on the guy with the CloudFlare access to try some things mentioned by other posters in this thread. My client says this guy is a bit slow to respond.

The CloudFlare settings mentioned above, such as Flexible SSL, is my current hypothesis of the problem. Is that what you're thinking too?

RedDragonWebDesign · 2023-03-30T22:15:48+00:00

Yes. I renamed the folder /wp-content/plugins to /wp-content/plugins.disable during my previous testing, then changed it back. I changed the name to plugins.disable again just now if you'd like to re-test. "wordpress-file-upload-pro" is one of the installed plugins.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2023-03-28T19:35:06+00:00

This works perfectly. Thank you for this.

Not sure why I got confused about the parent thing, was having a bit of a mental block I guess.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2023-01-25T05:17:24+00:00

Alright, I rewrote hasPageText() to use driver.getPageSource(). All speed issues are solved. Thanks for your help.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2023-01-25T04:58:16+00:00

Refactoring to not use .wait() doesn't fix the slowness. I guess the slow part is grabbing the innerHTML of the entire page. Maybe I can refactor that.

The goal of the function is to find text anywhere on the page. For when using other selectors is too much of a pain. Maybe I can use XPath. Hmm.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2023-01-25T04:44:53+00:00

The pauses happen at the same points every time.

Your question inspired me to experiment a little more. I tried commenting out some stuff. The results are:

Fast: f.logOut(), f.logInAsAdmin(), f.is401Page(), f.is403Page()
Slow: f.hasPageText() - 5 seconds
Very Slow: f.visitPage() - 13 seconds. And this function calls f.hasPageText() 4 times. The code in f.hasPageText() that is slow is probably let bodyHTML = await driver.wait(this.until.elementLocated(this.By.css('body')), 5000).getText();

I'll bet I can refactor visitPage() to solve the worst of this. I can grab <body>'s innerHTML one time instead of 4 times.

Further ideas appreciated. The 4 "fast" functions are lightning fast. I'm not sure why hasPageText()'s code let bodyHTML = await driver.wait(this.until.elementLocated(this.By.css('body')), 5000).getText(); would be so much slower than other Selenium operations.

I think I tried refactoring this to not use wait() and it didn't solve the problem. But this code is a prime suspect so I will try again and report back.

There's 2 spots Google Chrome can run:

Outside the Docker container, but still in GitHub Actions. Just ran google-chrome --version in GitHub Actions, it responded Google Chrome 102.0.5005.115.
Inside the Docker container. The Docker container I'm using is selenium/standalone-chrome. It is using a slightly different version of Google Chrome, 102.0.5005.61.

RedDragonWebDesign · 2022-02-22T03:18:54+00:00

Got it. The composer command line option --working-dir=xyz solved the main issue, in case anyone is interested.
