  • Target version set to 1.16.5

Taking some guesses from context:

- Are you talking about help.commons.gc.cuny.edu?
- I see a fatal error in the search log related to search-everything. I don't see other fatals that look related to help.commons, but I can't be certain because that information isn't accurately recorded in the log.

Looking at the code, I am sorta shocked to see that the search-everything plugin works in part (but not necessarily - it also works by MySQL) by contacting a third-party website, which must be a custom crawler. Doesn't seem nefarious, but it does seem terrible, especially because the third-party service appears to be totally broken. See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-fork/. I'm going to replace our version of the plugin with the fork.

  • Target version deleted (1.16.5)

Boone, I was just debugging this myself and came across the same conclusion about the external Zemanta ping! See https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/00b86adde2a3d65d189708e715cbfac0a7c4dfc1

I'll leave you to update the plugin to the forked version :)
