Remove Ideas rewrite rules (& files)

As of r16852-dotorg & r16853-dotorg the ideas forum external has been removed from WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/.

Can these rules be altered in wporg-web’s wporg-wordpress.org ?

  • Remove the location /ideas/ {} blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.
  • Remove rewrite ^/ideas/.*$ from @404-extend.
  • Remove rewrite ^/extend/ideas(/.*)?$ ...
    (That should remove all references to /ideas from server configs)
  • Verify that public_html/ideas/ no longer exists on disk on web nodes (it shouldn’t, due to the double-deployDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors.)
  • Remove public_html/ideas/ on sandboxes (svn up not needed, svn will gracefully update with that folder removed, but will not remove it, although it won’t error out, optional)

/ideas/ and /extend/ideas/ will be handled by a redirect in PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. http://php.net/manual/en/intro-whatis.php. (r10567-meta) and is temporarily also being handled by r16851-dotorg until these rewrite rules are removed.
If wanted, a server-level redirect for /ideas/ and /extend/ideas/ to https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/ can be added, but I don’t think it’s warranted.

Remove bad plugins SVN tag

It looks like someone managed to create a svn tag with a character return in it over a year ago, unfortunately however this tag can’t be removed, and as a result, the tag list for the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party can’t be checked out without causing SVNSVN Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after its command name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system. Software developers use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS). WordPress core and the wordpress.org released code are all centrally managed through SVN. https://subversion.apache.org/. to go into a 100% cpu loopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts. Using The Loop, WordPress processes each post to be displayed on the current page, and formats it according to how it matches specified criteria within The Loop tags. Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each post. https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop..

It looks like the request is being denied by nginxNGINX NGINX is open source software for web serving, reverse proxying, caching, load balancing, media streaming, and more. It started out as a web server designed for maximum performance and stability. In addition to its HTTP server capabilities, NGINX can also function as a proxy server for email (IMAP, POP3, and SMTP) and a reverse proxy and load balancer for HTTP, TCP, and UDP servers. https://www.nginx.com/. prior to the request hitting ApacheApache Apache is the most widely used web server software. Developed and maintained by Apache Software Foundation. Apache is an Open Source software available for free., so if a systems team member could bypass nginx and execute svn rm https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/blogger-to-wordpress-redirection/tags/2.2.6%0d/ that would be appreciated.

This tag will also cause problems for the plugin directory, as it uses the CLICLI Command Line Interface. Terminal (Bash) in Mac, Command Prompt in Windows, or WP-CLI for WordPress. SVN commands to interact with the plugin as well.

Sandbox out of disk space

Hi, I’m not able to run the ip2location update script, because I’m out of disk space. Part of the reason for that is I have 2gb of Xdebug trace.* files in my temp folder, but I can’t delete them because of permissions.

I’ve already run svn cleanup --include-externals on the main codebases.

A short term fix might be to just delete those files for me, but long term it’d be nice to be able to delete them myself.

Regardless of that, though, several of us frequently run out of space, so it feels like the margins are too tight. Increasing the allocation for everyone might solve the deeper problem?

Are there any network-level non-nginxNGINX NGINX is open source software for web serving, reverse proxying, caching, load balancing, media streaming, and more. It started out as a web server designed for maximum performance and stability. In addition to its HTTP server capabilities, NGINX can also function as a proxy server for email (IMAP, POP3, and SMTP) and a reverse proxy and load balancer for HTTP, TCP, and UDP servers. https://www.nginx.com/. IP blocks in place on api.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/?

As mentioned previously in slackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/., @hostingsupport is experiencing api.wordpress.org blocking one of their servers, and it seems to be ongoing for a fortnight now. There’s mtr output in the thread.

What i have on my server (IP 93.84.119.244):
1) I can pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” api.wordpress.org (DNSDNS DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System - how you assign a human readable address to a website’s exact numeric coded location (ie. wordpress.org uses the actual IP address 198.143.164.252). resolves correct 198.143.164.251 ip address)
2) curl https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ (or just simple curl http://api.wordpress.org) gives timeout on both http and https requests
3) telnet api.wordpress.org 80 (or telnet api.wordpress.org 443) – also timeouts
4) other WP-resources such as downloads.wordpress.org, developer.wordpress.org – accessible without any errors (by ping, telnet, curl etc.)
5) checked firewall on my server – 198.143.164.251 not blocked from my side
6) checked access to api.wordpress.org from other servers (same network) – everything is ok.
Is it possible to delist my IP 93.84.119.244 from that blocklist, or guide to right direction how to solve this problem?
(never faced with this problem before, first connection errors in wp-logs are dated 10th nov 2020 13.30 UTC, problem still persist)

FYI: WordCamp Let’s Encrypt `india/2020` bug fixed.

The bug where india.wordcamp.org/2020 ended up in the Dehydrated endpoint (instead of just india.wordcamp.org) is now fixed.

No action needed on my part, just an FYI.

Backup uploads for w.org and wordcamp.org

Hi 👋🏻 I’d like to following up the lost make/Training files.

Were backups ever enabled? If not, can you please enable them for:

  • all sites on the w.org multinetwork
  • wordcamp.org
  • wordpressfoundation.org

As a general rule, I think it’s safer to assume that a site does need backups, than to assume it doesn’t.

Could I please get a deployDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors. on the #codex?

RevisionsRevisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision. [10700:10705] have added canonical and noindex tags, better 404 titles, and most importantly removed the permissions to create new Codex pages by regular users as it’s no longer being used for that (other than by spam bots). These changes were tested.

If the cache could also be cleared to remove the global survey r16681-dotorg and the above additions from the caches that would also be great.

Can we please enable SSL for lists.wordpress.org?

Currently the domain isn’t accessible over SSLSSL Secure Socket Layer - Encryption from the server to the browser and back. Prevents prying eyes from seeing what you are sending between your browser and the server., and it’s not uncommon for links to be SSL’d or for browsers to force SSL.
