Cornerstone stopped working in Chrome / Mac

Hi Christian,
I’ll try these ASAP. In the meantime, I’ve already tried increasing memory; that didn’t work. I’m not using a CDN or a child theme, and everything is up to date.

Question: Why would this only be happening in Chrome?

Terri

Hi Terri,

It could be due to cache too and it’s serving the same nonce over and over. And based on screenshot, the extension such as 13a2f57 is a sign of cache since it’s not part of the theme/builder file naming.

Please deactivate cache plugin, or if you have hosting cache feature then please deactivate it as well and test it again.

Thanks!

Sorry for the delayed response, Rad… it’s been a crazy past few days.

There’s no cache plugin being used, so I’ll check with the hosting company to see if they have that feature automatically activated.

Hi Terri,

It seems your site is also under WP Rocket, please clear its cache and put that in development mode for a while.

If the issue persists, please provide us login credentials in a secure note so we can take a closer look.

Let us know how it goes,

Hi Friech,
I had tried with WP Rocket deactivated. When that didn’t work, I cleared its cache and deleted the plugin. Originally, the problem was that Cornerstone would not load in Chrome but would in Firefox. After upgrading to the newest release of WordPress, it now no longer loads in both Chrome and Firefox.

I’m looking at the settings and just noticed that there’s nothing showing in Custom Path (other than the holder X where the path would be typed in). What, if anything, should be in Custom Path?

I’m currently running 4.0.4

Hello Terri,

The custom path should be left blank so that the default will be using x. If you add something else, that would also be fine. Your issue has not been resolved which already took several days. ​To assist you better with this issue, would you mind providing us the url of your site with login credentials so we can take a closer look? T

To do this, you can create a secure note with the following info:
– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password

Regards.
Thank you.

I’ll set up login creds right now. I would like to be able to finish this site, so getting Cornerstone to work the way it was prior to the latest (Cornerstone) update, would really help.

Hello Terri,

Can you please temporarily deactivate WordFence plugin? I wasn’t able to log because the plugin is blocking me.

Thanks.

Are you outside of the U.S.? If so, which country and I’ll temporary unblock it.

EDITING POST
This gets stranger by the day. When I first posted about this problem, I could not use Cornerstone at all in Chrome (it wouldn’t get past the spinning wheel), but I could use it in Firefox. Then, a few days ago, I could not use it in either Chrome for Firefox. Just now, for reasons unknown, I’m able to use it in Firefox again – but still not in Chrome.

Hello Terri,

We have staffs around the globe working 24/7. Please temporarily disable the WordFence plugin instead so any of our staff can log in and investigate your issue.

Thank you in advance.

The site is currently experiencing massive login attempts from various countries. It’s risky to disable the plugin. Can you at least select a staff member from one or two counties? The majority of login attempts at the moment are: Germany, Russia, France, China, Portugal,

Hello Terri,

Please allow the Philipines so that one of our staff can log in.

Thanks.

Hello Terri,

I was able to login and I have created a post successfully. I can edit it in Cornerstone with no issues at all.

I was able to edit your homepage too.

I am using macOS and Chrome browser. Please clear your browser cache or use private browsing mode (incognito mode) and test your site again.

Thank you, Rue.

I’ve cleared browser cache, history and images. Still can’t get past the spinning circle.

I’ve tried using incognito mode. Still won’t load.

Do you have any idea why you can use Chrome, but I can’t? Seems I have two options: Never use it in Chrome, or roll Cornerstone back to the previous version which worked. I have 4.0.4 installed right now. Can I roll this back like I would any other plugin?

Also. Can you please delete the sample images you posted if they’re available for public viewing?

Terri

Hey Terri,

Since it works on our end but not on yours, it could be that there’s something in your computer or a Chrome setting that is conflicting with Cornerstone.

Please try restoring the default settings of Chrome. If that doesn’t help, try uninstalling Chrome then reinstall again after. Make sure that no Chrome addons or extensions will be added.

It is hard to tell what exactly is causing the issue since this is only happening on your end.

I removed the screenshots of your site in this thread.

Thanks.

None of that worked. So, since it worked in Chrome before the latest Cornerstone upgrade, how do i roll back to the previous version? Or is it better to just not use Chrome?

Hi @Terri10,

We just released a new version today. Before rolling back, it might help to try updating to the latest version instead. That might make a difference. It isn’t on automatic updates just yet, but you can download it from your account dashboard.

I’ve download the latest version of X ( 7.1.0 ). The version I’m using right now is 7.0.4.

Can I update just the Cornerstone plugin (currently 4.0.4) without updating the X theme?

Terri

Hi Terri,

You need to update both to avoid incompatibility issues. Please update both X and Cornerstone to the latest version (7.1.0 and 4.1.0 respectively)

Since this release is not out in automatic update yet, please follow the Manual Updates guide in the following link: Updating Your Themes and Plugins

Let us know how it goes,
Cheers!

Upgraded completed. Cornerstone is still not loading in Chrome.

Which version of Chrome are you using on your Mac? When I checked to see if I had the latest version installed, the Google page had the “you’re running the latest version.” However, I don’t think I am, and I can’t install the Chrome download I just now did.
