Question2Answer 1.8.1 released

Question

Hi everyone, I've finally got around to releasing v1.8.1. This fixes a bunch of issues, including Q2A mistakenly being detected as malware. View the full changelog and download here.

This is my first released managed solely by myself, without needing to wait for Gideon to update the website. So do let me know if I've missed anything off the website :)

Thanks to pupi1985, ProThoughts and jairlopez for contributing to this release, and to everyone who reported issues and helped test.

On another note, I set up HTTPS on the Q2A site a while back. Haven't had any problems thus far, but I will be shortly setting up redirects to the HTTPS version so that everyone is always on this version. I'd suggest updating bookmarks if you have them. Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the HTTPS!

Comments

Please concentrate on the speed also. Please implement the latest techniques to speed up the Q2A lighting fast.

Answer 2

Https IS running

I will update the site to this version. thank you for being alive and for you for keeping q2a in development

Answer 3

I set up HTTPS on the Q2A for a long time, nothing wrong.

admin=>general

Preferred site URL, change http to https,then save.

add below code to .htaccess to redirect http to https.

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [L,R=301]

Answer 4

Works on php 7.1 without errors
But on PHP 7.2 there are errors

PHP Warning:  count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /home/public_html/qa-include/qa-base.php(725) : eval()'d code on line 160

Try disabling all third party plugins, check again if you are getting that error and report back

The error is already caused by the addition of "q2a-ultimate-seo"

https://github.com/q2a-projects/Q2A-Ultimate-SEO/tree/master/q2a-ultimate-seo

What's the solution?

---

For me also it happens with Q2A Ultimate SEO and also with Q2A Ultimate Widget pluign.

I'd say creating an Issue in the GitHub project of the plugin is the starting point. If the developer doesn't answer in a short period of time, then probably posting a question here providing the necessary info should be plan B

Hello there I've updated it to the new version. But structural data fails. It was like that when using the old version. I can't get out of it.
