Ultimate Solution for WordPress 429 Error, Specifically for Domestic Servers

Since the official WordPress CDN service blocks traffic from within China, causing domestic servers to fail when installing or updating WordPress plugins, the website will display the message429 Too Many Requests. Here, Naiba summarizes for everyoneThe Ultimate Solution to Fix WordPress 429 Error。

Method One: Update Using Proxy Plugins

Using a plugin is very simple: just install and activate it, and then the website's plugin updates will be requested through a proxy server. Currently, there are three options available in China that can proxy WP plugin updates.

Plugin One: WP China Yes

WP China Yes works by proxying data from the official WordPress servers through its own server and saving it to its own CDN servers. The author states that they will collaborate with universities next, with universities providing community sources, which will enhance security and reliability. It also supports configuring your own proxy server.Download LinkOpen Source Address: https://github.com/sunxiyuan/wp-china-yes. If you cannot open the official website, you can download it from the open source address.

Plugin Two: kill 429

kill 429 is a plugin released by Lightning Blog to solve the 429 error on domestic servers. It was the first of its kind, but its stability is average. Their approach is not to store data; each of your requests is directly proxied through their server and then returned. It also supports configuring your own proxy server.Download Link

Plugin Three: wpjam-proxy

wpjam proxy is shared by the Chinese WP developer Suizhuyu, with source code written by Baiyunshan. The entire code is relatively simple, but it does not provide an official proxy server; you need to have your own overseas server to use it. Furthermore, this plugin is bound to the WPJAM plugin; without installing WPJAM, you cannot see the settings menu.Download LinkThe download file provided by Naiba here includes the original version and a stripped version (wpjam-proxy_modify.zip).Plugin Usage Method:

1. Upload the wp-proxy.php file from the wpjam-proxy.zip folder to any directory on your overseas server;
2. Set the plugin's proxy address to the access URL of this file (for the stripped version, directly modify the wpjam-proxy.php file to fill in the address and save).

 

Method Two: Manual Update

Manual updating is relatively more troublesome and requires you to be able to access the WordPress website to download the new version of the plugin. Of course, there are also websites in China that reverse proxy WordPress.

Usually, when we manually update a plugin, we need to delete the old version first and then upload the new version. Here, Naiba recommends aEasy Theme and Plugin Upgradesplugin.
