Essential Grid & Yoast breaking Cornerstone

[BeeKeen]

Hi guys,

I’ve been trying to figure out why my Cornerstone wasn’t working anymore. Tried to increase php memory, to disable caching, but nothing was working. Found out that both Essential Grid and Yoast are making it stop working.

And now I don’t know what to do! So many topics on this that I just can’t see it. And I need both E.G. and Yoast for my website to be activated, but I also need Cornerstone.

I’ve deleted Yoast and re-installed, but it still gives me this issue. And I really don’t want to delete Essential Grid because there is a skin and grid in there that I’ve worked on só hard!

I really hope you guys can help me out!

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! Could you please try adding the following code into your wp-config.php file below the following line of code define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );.

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); 
if ( WP_DEBUG ) {
    define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
    define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
    @ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );
}

This will create a log file under your wp-content directory named as debug.log. Then you perform some actions on your site which will record any error messages in the error log file. Then check your log file and let us know what’s been recorded.

Let us know how it goes!
Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for this.

I’ve added the code, had to switch from WP_DEBUG, false to ‘true’, as it was set on false. However, no debug.log is showing in the wp-content directory.

Can I give you my FTP login? I think I’m doing something wrong over here!
Just be careful, another website of ours is also in the same FTP!

Hey @BeeKeen,

There’s an issue with connecting to your server (see Secure Note).

This is the error when either Essential Grid or Yoast SEO is activated.

cornerstone-endpoint directory responded with 500 Internal Server Error. This usually is caused by Mod Security. Please contact your web host and ask them to whitelist it from Mod Security. You can also share them the screenshot.

Thanks.

Thanks!

I’ve passed it on to our webhost, so I hope he can handle this

You’re welcome and please let us know. Thanks!

Hi all,

I’m a little bit stuck here. My webhost says he can’t do anything without an error notification from you, but I thought that the screenshot already contained this notification. Is there any additional information I can pass on to him?

Thanks in advance!

Hi There,

Please check the FTP credentials you provided above, it’s not working for me.

Please get back to your host and just confirm that nothing is blocking /cornerstone-endpoint URI

500 Internal Server Error can also be a memory exhaustion issue, let’s try to increase your PHP memory limit.

To increase the PHP memory limit in your WordPress installation, you need to access the installation files via FTP and find the wp-config.php file in the root folder of the installation. Edit that file and add the code following code after /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ line.

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );

Let us know how it goes,
Cheers!

Thank you,

I’m still waiting for my webhost. He changed the login credentials, explaining why you couldn’t login.

I already increased the php limit, but I don’t think I added the max_ option, so will do that as soon as I can get back into the FTP again.

Thanks for keeping us updated, let’s wait and see what your hosting provider will update you with.

HALLELUJAH! It is working again!

In between some new logins and changes on my webhosts part, and the new way to increase our PHP limit it all came to life again.

Yay! Thank you all so much for helping out!

Glad to hear it’s all sorted now.
