We received a link from Marco.: https://www.chamial.com/docs/faq/oxwall-to-chamial/how-to-remove-patch-oxwall-to-chamial/  where we could download this update or actually downgrade.

Then we had to manually change the version in phpmyadmin.

I have all versions of both.

The problem is that Chamial changed the text that is as a comment in all the top of the files, so to be able to compare them with WinMerge (or similar) you have to pass the two directory trees through a tool that removes the comments. Of these there are several, but I don't know any that processes whole trees ... Only single files, and they are hundreds.

Perhaps it is easier to find out why OxWall is not working, but it requires access to the control panel and spend a few hours.

There are several developers around here who do not think they ask you for much money to solve this, it does not seem complicated.

I don't charge for doing these things, but I don't have time, I work on other things and I'm also updating my ads plugin. 

Sorry Patricia, but we can no longer follow you now because we have no knowledge in development.

We are not even concerned about what it would cost, we just want the website back in the 1.8.4 version and of course everything works as it should be.

Marco appeared positive to us when he proposed the reverse update, but it just didn't have the right effect.

There are paying members associated with this website from us, so we must be careful what we do.

The utopia of Marco to make Oxwall a lot better has unfortunately not worked, but unfortunately we are left with the aftermath.

We understand that you are very busy, but we are happy that you and Chris have responded, which is not always the case here at Oxwall unfortunately.

Ebenezer Obasi, ArtMedia and some more are dedicated to these things professionally.

In your profile here they advertise, I recommend asking them for help ... They have a very good reputation.

AppXprt, we could greatly appreciate that.

Even though it seems again that Oxwall ceases to exist and we are already looking for a better alternative, your plugin would help us a lot now.

Whether it is for free or whether it needs to be purchased, that does not matter to us.

We appreciate your effort.!

i remember that chamial have updated mailer library for newest version and this require also edit oxwall core, so this could be related with this.

you can hire me to investigate problem, i need access to server logs, server ftp and admin panel to investigate problem

PLEASE HELP ME!  I am not very computer literate and am needing help with the mass email in the admin panel, version 1.8.4

I used to be able to mail out unlimited emails at a time but now my hosting provider tells me I can only mass email 500 email every hour.  The problem is I have no option in mass email which will limit the number of emails that I send out.  Does anyone know how I may solve or get around this issue?  This is pretty urgent as I have mail that needs to go out before 2/14 Valentine's Day  :(

Am think about to go back to oxwall.

Sorry Chris, we used that patch but it messes up the whole website and you have to manually convert the version in your PhpMyadmin by editing the text.

Essentially, the website is still running on the Chamial version with all the misery involved.

In our case, mass mailing was no longer possible plus the members no longer received E-mail with notifications.

With regards,

Well Chris, it didn't work with us.!

We have now closed the website where we tried it out, but we will certainly not make the switch to a fork anymore.

Of course it is uncertain whether the basic Oxwall software will last a long time, but that is our uncertainty about this.

With regards,

After git cloning the oxwall github and the plugins from the master branch, i copied the old chamial files over the new oxwall without replacing files. 

After littles ajustments, all seems to be fine.

For exemple i had to add :

use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

in top of  /ow_system_plugins/base/bol/mail_service.php for the email to be send without external smtp.
