Settings intermittently resetting to defaults

    I”m finding this bizarre, and I won’t blame you if you tell me it can’t happen and I’m nuts, but my settings periodically, intermittently, and with no rhyme or reason I can find, RESET…

    It’s happened at least FOUR times today. For example, I had the thumbnails set to 5 columns, and suddenly realized they were back to three. Went into settings, and sure enough, everything was back to the defaults. Checked pricing, and the Original Price I’d entered a couple hours ago was back to “1”……

    The first couple times it happened I just thought it was something I’d missed, and set everything again. But after about three times I started getting suspicious.

    I’m running on a local PC, so there’s nothing happening with the server or ISP or anything out there in the ether. But, SOMETHING is causing periodic resets…

    Any ideas?

    That’s very odd. Some users get confused by the Price/Size Groups SAVE button. It saves the Price/Size Group and not the entire settings page.

    Is that the issue?

    If not, please let me know how I can replicate the issue exactly.

    It was odd. It seemed like I was getting quite a few settings that changed, so I figure I had to be saving incorrectly.

    Unfortunately, I eventually decided I needed to be able to sell photo prints, and wasn’t going to be able to do that with the free version of sell media. I had to get the site up, and had so many unanswered questions sitting out there, I eventually had to switch to a different plugin.

    SkyyKorat, Wich plugin are you using now?

    I’m using Photo Seller. The alternatives mostly seemed geared toward “join and get ALL THESE things”, which I didn’t want or need, and typically cost anywhere from $100-$300 per year. Photo Seller has some shortcomings (square thumbnails, no use of multiple price lists for a gallery, LOTS of pages instead of a few pages with the album/gallery doing the work, etc), and some areas that are less intuitive and/or easy to use as they might be, but it’s a single payment rather than a annual fee, and it was somewhat cost effective. And so far, I get answers within 24 hours to questions.
