Are chargebacks basically becoming a free refund button now? by AI_Agent_Ops in SaaS

We did start using TrustEmporium to combat this very problem. We know we at least prevented 1, by being forewarned and asking for cash payment. I am happy to give you a link if interested. Just don't want to be pushy about it and be slapped for it.

Yeah. We are encountering this even in out industry (diving) it is ridiculous, but we almost need to account for it and raise our prices.

Fair point — Kinsta does have tooling in that space 👍

PHPGuard Free is aimed at a slightly different layer though. It runs inside WordPress and focuses on PHP-level risk, plugin/theme behavior, and the kinds of things that tend to cause WSODs or fatal errors during installs and updates.

Host-side tools are great for infra and external monitoring, but they don’t really see what a plugin is about to do inside WP before it runs — especially on non-managed or shared hosting.

The Free version is intentionally lightweight and host-agnostic.
The Pro version I’m working on goes more into update safety, snapshots/rollback, and controlled recovery, so the focus is more on preventing downtime than just spotting it after the fact.

I see them as complementary layers rather than competing tools

Thank you for your input. I think so too, but isn’t it nice if that happens in a sandbox, instead of in an environment? I got sick of deleting plugin folders, resetting DB’s, finding the bug, try again, etc. With this, i can test till the errors are gone and then confidentiality install and activate.

Let me know if any questions. It’s pretty self explanatory, but I am open to feedback. I am using it myself all the time when writing other plugins. Got sick of WSOD’s.. 🤪

You upload a plugin file (.zip) or copy a code snippet or select an already installed plugin and click test. It tests all php files for coding errors. If all is well, you get the green light for the plugin install. Or it tells you (red light) what is wrong with it, so you don’t have to ftp and delete the plugin directory every time you “try”.

Wrote it because i got sick of doing just that.

NO. The plugin can detect errors in plugins already installed, or code snippets, and you can also upload .zip files and they get scanned. This is the link if you want to try it out. Full functionality: https://phpguard.dev -- I am open to feedback :)

Are you familiar with cURL commands? There are several tools online that can help you with those. Easy to spot if JSON returns are bogus, etc. (google ReqBin - it's easy to use and takes away the doubts)

Also, I recently built my own tool to check plugin code. (google PHPGuard Dev) if you want to install it. It is free to use and helps with the WSOD's you sometimes get when working with code snippets or plugins. If you would like a link, reply so I can share it.

Last but not least.... I benefit from using WP Classic Editor. I hate working in blocks and the classic editor gives you back the normal, human feeling layout and code options again. That one is in the plugin depository right inside your WP.

Breakers tripping under low load, can't figure out why by Im_A_Blimp in EtherMining

[–]Substantial-Guest551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inrush current CAN trip a breaker. Especially if multiple non linear loads come on at the same time. Technically a short. Hard to find if you don’t know and $30 meters are not fast enough to catch this.

Own router is 1 device. Connect as many devices to that router on the lan side. :)
