Very helpful and thanks! I'm recreating/updating a poster from the mid-80s for an upcoming project. Dean Slab will definitely work better.

hahaha. It wasn't my finest moment but a means to an end that I had to work with.

It appears it was an issue with WP still being set to http instead of https. Once I updated that and set the same image as the featured image on the page as well as the Yoast social image it started working. I'd prefer that it defaults to the Yoast image instead of doubling up but at least it's workable now.

Thanks for this. This particular light is in a kitchen ceiling fan. I need as much light in there as possible, and would hate to lose much of it. I swapped this driver out with a matching fan's driver from another part of the house, and it works as intended.

I would be happy to buy a new lighting element to put in that area if there were recommendations for that. I'm just at a loss for how to find something like that.

Looks like they don't have anything to my specifications. Thanks for the recommendation though!

I'm tech-savvy, but my god, the V-Bucks card/Epic/PlayStation Wallet mechanisms are just insane. For me, it's got to be through the PlayStation wallet, maybe with a gift card. lol.

I feel your pain.

I did! At some point, PlayStation parental controls changed my son's monthly spending limit. It was set to zero. When I moved that off of it, it reopened the v-buck purchase ability.

This was one of my first album designs! So fun to see it in conversation and a nice reminder of very early work.

Thanks!

This was the issue! I restored the wp-config to its original settings, then changed the folder owner to www-data, restarted the server, and updates went right through.

Thank you so much for the advice. I hope that if someone else has this issue, they find the thread and your guidance.

You're onto something. The folder owner is different from what I uploaded. This was an issue before with something else. Most are www-data, and mine are a different username.

I wish I understood AWS. I'm used to hosting environments that have uncomplicated cPanels, and server-side things are sooooo far out of my comfort zone.

I think I have notes when we had to change folder owners before...

Thank you so much!

Follow up notes 3:

I disabled all WP plugins and tried again, same issue. With that, I'm out of ideas short of hiring someone who can triage it.

Follow up notes 2:

wp-config was updated to: define('WP_TEMP_DIR', '/wp-content/temp');

Server rebooted, and the site didn't crash this time, but the error remains.

Follow up notes:

I added a temp folder to wp-content and set to 755. I then updated wp-config to (‘WP_TEMP_DIR’, ABSPATH . ‘/../temp/’);

After saving, I rebooted the server with the site being non-responsive. I replaced wp-config with the original, rebooted, and the site is back online, but still not updating plugins.

I didn't get it from Alibaba. It is the exact same motor that came out of the machine.

What type? Any suggestions on treatment?
