Site disconnected, will not reconnect

About a week ago, a site hosted on EasyWP (NameCheap) became disconnected from MainWP and when trying to reconnect the site I get this message on MainWP Dashboard:

Public key already set. Please deactivate & reactivate the MainWP Child plugin on the child site and try again.

So far to try and fix this, I have:

  • Deactivated & reactivated the MainWP Child plugin on the child site and tried again.
  • Tested the connection to the MainWP dashboard, it was successful.
  • Disabled/re-enabled all plugins.
  • Activated a default theme.
  • Un-installed MainWP Child plugin and re-installed.
  • Reset MainWP settings on child site by using plugin found on this support forum.

This site has been connected to the dashboard for years, this is the first time it’s disconnected. I manage several other sites and none have ever disconnected, this is the only site I manage that is hosted on EasyWP (NameCheap).

Hi @treviscarletta

We’ve had a similar report related to a child site hosted on EasyWP.

Can you please create a System Report of that Child Site and send it to me via a Direct Message?

Just click on my name and click the Message button.

System Report can be found on the Child Site by going to:

  • Child Site > Settings > MainWP Child > Server Information
  • Click the “Get System Report” button.

Thanks for sending the Child Site’s System Report.

The PHP function php_uname() is disabled on the Child Sites’s server.

The function is used by the PHPSecLib that MainWP uses to encrypt sensitive data. This is done for security reasons.

Can you please contact EasyWP support and have them enable it for you?

I have contacted EasyWP and they are stating that the function can not be enabled on EasyWP hosting. Is that the same response the other person received?

I find it strange that everything was working fine and, to my knowledge, nothing on the server changed before the site became disconnected.

Thanks for the update.

The other user was on a shared hosting plan, so the EasyWP support couldn’t enable the function for them.

Are you in a position to move that one child site to a different host?

Unfortunately, that function is required by MainWP so I don’t see what else could be done at this moment.

Got it, thanks. I will move the site to a different server.

We’ve added alternative methods of encryption in cases where the PHP function php_uname() is unavailable on the Child Site’s server.

The change will be included in the next release of the MainWP Child plugin.

Thanks @treviscarletta for reporting the issue to us and for confirming that the fix works for you as well as it did in our testing.

If anyone else is experiencing this issue, please send me a private message so I can share the pre-release version of the Child plugin with you.
