Hi Alan,

Yes indeed, I am back as an administrator on my control panel. My host could not say what went wrong but they managed to give me back my administrative privileges.

As far as I can see, the QEM plugin was not part of my problem in any way. I am so pleased with that.

Thank you again for your quick support.

Hi,

I had already read your article “Date Shifting and Other Timezone-related Issues in Participants Database” and modified my setting.

I am currently using a WordPress Timezone = “Toronto” and have checked the advanced setting so that the php timezone will be set to the WordPress timezone.

With this setup, the date fields for any new record created in the Participant Database are OK but i am left with the date shift problem for my old records…

I suppose I can export the database, modify my birth dates by adding one day in Excel and then reimport the database.

But my initial question was and still is: is there an easier way to do this in the Participant Database? For example, computing something like : birthdate = birthdate + 1

Thank you for providing me with the solution!

I went for the second option you proposed and it works as intended.

Now it brings me to a related question : is there a way I can update all my records with the new value for my placeholder field? My default value is «See record» («Voir fiche» in french) and as soon as I edit a record it puts this correct default value but I have to edit every record separately. Is there a way I can select all of them and have their defaut value updated?

You were right! I did a cut and paste as I did before and this time it works just fine.

As far as I can see, the only difference for my second attempt is that I deactivated the plugin before editing the php file (which I did not do the first time)

Anyway… it now works as intended.

Thank you so much for your support.

Thank you so much… I am up and running now!

I followed your instructions :
1. created an admin” group (I think I had renamed it to something like “administration”
2. Made a full backup
3. Deactivated the plugin
4. I went to remove the plugin from my C-Panel but did not know exactly which branch to remove???
pdb-member_payments
assets
languages
pdbmps
fields
payment_log
payment_status
paypal_ipn
paypal_pdt
shortcodes
transaction
templates
5. So, at this stage I simply decided to reactivate the plugin and to my surprise the “Payment Log” field reappeared in my list of fields.

Thanks again for maintaining the Participants Database and for your support,

Jacques

Thank you for eliminating the CSS possibility of slowing down my serving of the first page and to clarifying the TTFB issue.

Indeed, I am both using Hummingbird and Cloudflare and at some time I was using caching plugins as well.

Recently I tried to turn off all of caching plugins since Hummingbird was giving me the following message :

Hummingbird detected an advanced-cache.php file in wp-content directory. Please disable any other caching plugins on order to use Page Caching. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to deal with this “advanced-cache.php file” and how to turn it off….

I understand that I should now switch to the Hummingbird and/or Cloudflare forum sections to investigate my long TTFB issue?
