ParticipantCan anyone please explain in plain English, how to update WP Rocket? I have read the above explanations and they may as well be written in Arabic. I (as many on this forum) am not a coder, so would really appreciate a straight forward, step by step explanation to combat these errors.
Thanks in advance.October 21, 2019 at 12:48 am #21788j b
ParticipantThe latest version is broken, even if you do follow the guide. I have reverted back to 3.3.7 and it is working.
Troy W here is what you do (when it is fixed). Download the zip. Unzip it on your desktop or laptop. Go into the unzipped folder and navigate to the folder you just unzipped: /wp-rocket/inc/functions/. Locate the file “options.php”. Right click on it and choose open with and then choose notepad.
You want to locate this section (use find and search for rocket_valid_key)
function rocket_valid_key() { $rocket_secret_key = get_rocket_option( 'secret_key' ); if ( ! $rocket_secret_key ) { return false; } return 8 === strlen( get_rocket_option( 'consumer_key' ) ) && hash_equals( $rocket_secret_key, hash( 'crc32', get_rocket_option( 'consumer_email' ) ) ); }
Change it to this:
function rocket_valid_key() { return true; }
Now you want to zip it back up. Go to the wp-rocket folder and right click on it and add to archive. Create a zip. Upload this zip to your plugins.

ParticipantYeah I can’t find a way to crack it. I guess they are smart and change the activation options on each update.
Almost worth paying for… it’s so much easier than using W3 and having to add all the extra plugins to make it work the same way.
I’m trying to think of what’s better… Imagify + WpRocket (.webp support, easy analytics/sitemap caching, easy cdn/cloudflare/sucuri options, etc.) or WPMUDEV + Smush Pro (.webp support, pro image cdn, hummingbird).
I may give both a try and see. The only thing I dislike about Smush Pro compared to Imagify is the URLs on the .webp,.jpg,.png images… it uses WPMUDEV’s CDN url and you can’t add a SEO-friendly URL like you can with Imagify. Although I’m not really sure a
cdn.gpldl.com
is any better than03945sfgwafrgerf.wpmudevcdn.com
if they are being indexed correctly by in your sitemap.December 2, 2019 at 4:14 am #21910Bob Hunt
ParticipantThanks J_b.
I tried your method with latest download, but still got a big bunch of fatal errors. Where do I get hold of the older version that works?Attention GPLDL moderators:
I don’t mean to be a whinger and sincerely appreciate all the great stuff in this repository, but please can you remove / replace WP Rocket so as not to waste other users valuable time.Thanks y’all.

ParticipantHey Bob Hunt if you don’t want it, don’t download it.
You can’t get it nulled but some other can. -
