Error on new version

@manabeads Check the error message when you try to access the back end – it should be informing you that a link has been sent to your WordPress admin email address. That link will enable “recovery mode” which will get you in. From there, just disable the app or make one of the edits mentioned above.

Disaster!!!!

@iainpurdie Thanks! Good info for next time. I have to admit I didn’t click that link assuming it would be a “stock” article that wouldn’t help me with specifics. I shouldn’t assume anything!!
BTW, I edited my post to say I got it going again.

Same situation as everyone else, I’m just grateful I had this plugin installed on only one website, and not the dozen or so I’m responsible for.

I am really sorry for the inconvenience caused by my silly mistake.

When deploying the plugin the freemius SDK removed the premium plugin file but the file reference was still there that causing this major issue.

It was my fault not to test it immediately after deployment.

I have released the updated plugin version 4.8 containing the fix.

I apologize to you for all the trouble that you faced.

Mine too…. worse is that if people are novices, they’ll be in deep proverbial for this one.

+1 on this. Agree that “add-search-to-menu” was not obvious to be “Ivory Search”. The new 4.8 solved the issue.

Sorry, I didn’t understand your this statement.

Could you please describe it a bit more?

Thanks for the quick fix! Great and very helpful plugin regardless.

What I meant was that when looking in the CP for the plugin to disable it from the backend, the plugin folder is not called “ivory search”, it is called “add-search-to-menu”. I just updated your plugin so it was easy to see which one made the site crash by just sorting the folders by Last Modified.

This is all academic now since you have already fixed the issue.

Thanks again for all your work!

@mybcn Thank you so much for your support and kind words.

Yes, the plugin was initially called “Add Search To Menu” when I developed it but later I renamed it to “Ivory Search” as it is no longer only limited to Menu Search.

I can only change the plugin name but am not allowed to change the plugin slug ‘add-search-to-menu’ so the folder name remained the same ‘add-search-to-menu’.

You will see many other plugins in the plugin repository having different slugs and names such as https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/buddypress-media/

I can confirm that the fix worked. Thanks for the update.

@wendihihihi Thank you for confirming it.

Same issue also.

Closing this topic as the OP’s issue has been solved. Everyone else: If you have an ongoing issue, please start a new topic and don’t jump in on someone elses’.

A lot more people will see your post, and that way you stand a good chance of getting the assistance you want. Despite any similarity in symptoms, your issue is likely to be completely different because of possible differences in physical servers, accounts, hosts, plugins, theme, configurations, etc. Thus one problem, on one setup is not indicative of the functionality and reliability of an application as a whole.
