[Plugin: Connections] Entries won’t save

A bit more info: I discovered that I’m running PHP 5.2.6 on my local machine that has the functioning Connections plugin. The hosted site, where Connections is not working, is running PHP 5.1.6. They have no plans to upgrade.

Could the problem be the difference in PHP versions? If so, is there a way to modify the plugin so it will work on the older version?

Any one?

Sorry for the delay. Wife and were having a baby!

The last person that had an issue like this it was a conflict with another plugin. I think it was WP-Surveys. So try disabling plugins and see if the problem goes away. Let me know how you make out, I’d like to track down the issue.

With kind regards.

Having a baby?? How selfish! ??

Congratulations, dude! I hope all is well with you and the growing family.

Trust me, a plugin issue shouldn’t even be on the radar for you, but I really appreciate you taking time to check the forum. I’ll see how things work with all the other plugins off and post back. And trust me, no worries if it takes a while for you to reply. You have more than a little on your plate at the moment. ??

Thanks again.

No joy. Even with all the other plugins off, it doesn’t seem to save any data. I can’t access the db itself but I ran a backup and it’s not showing any content in the connections table, so for some reason, it’s not saving entries?

Let me know there is any info I can provide that will help with the troubleshooting. And again, don’t feel you need to address this immediately with the big event in your life. I have a 17 year-old daughter so I know the meaning of patience. ??

I encountered this same problem. What I discovered was that the issue is browser-related, or at least I solved it by using a different browser.

It didn’t work in FF and Chrome for some reason, but I had no problems saving the entries in IE8 and Opera.

The sites I’ve installed and activated them on are not live yet (they’re under ‘maintenance mode’), so I’m not sure what the behaviour will be like (ie if the browser problem will go away) once they do go live.

Are you still experiencing an issue when trying to save entries? I thought this was resolved a couple months ago.

I’m having exactly the same problem, the saving circle just spins and does nothing.

All other widgets (including the text widget) seem to save fine.

I have tried Firefox and Opera (with and without Gears)

Did anyone fine a solution?

@madeofstone
I think you posted this to the wrong thread. This thread relates to the plug-in Connections, not widgets.

apologies my mistake – posted in the correct forum now

Wanted to follow up on this issue and see if there has been any fixes yet. To recap from my original post: I’m using WP 2.8.6 on PHP 5.1.6 and the latest Connections 0.5.48 plug-in.

I’m able to install the plug-in and create an entry in the admin section, but when I try to view the entry in the list (still within the admin), nothing is there.

Any suggestions on how I might fix this? Let me know if there is any info you need.

Thanks!

When adding an entry, are you receiving a success message?

Can you try the dev version and see if you still experience the issue?

No error or success messages that I can tell. Just seems to take me back to the Add Entry screen.

I’ll the dev version a try and let you know the results. Thanks for getting back to me!

Sorry, @shazahm1. Should have clarified. It takes me back to the Add Entry screen without an error, and when I check the entry list, no entries are shown.

Just tried the new dev version and had the same issue. I checked the database and it doesn’t look like any entries are being added.

Any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting?

@galadancore

Well I use the global super variable $_SESSION for a check before adding an entry. Something with your setup is either not allowing its use or overwriting the variable. I would like to try a new way of handling this if you would like to help me test give me an email.
