Fatal error on update – logged out of WP

    Hello everyone,

    I just experienced a “Fatal error” after installing the update for this nice plugin – something conflicting on my site or a bad update??
    The line said “Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined…..” etc.

    What I experienced was that I was totally locked out of WP after the update – oooh bugger…!
    The only cure I found was to go into the Database by means of myphpadmin find the “wp_options” table and locate the “active_plugins”. Then enter into edit mode – locate and remove the “live_weather…” string-part.
    And afterwards renumber the remaining plugins in the listing “i:xx” to fit the exact numbers of active plugins.
    In the start of the listing it says for instance “i:43” for 43 active plugins – this needs to be corrected to “i:42” and if live weather had “i:37” you need to rename the following entries “i:38” to “i:37”, “i:39” to “i:38” etc. etc.

    There’s a nice Videowhich explained this nicely.

    PS. Do make a backup copy to notepad of the “active_plugins” listing – just in case?!

    Best of luck

  • Hello Lars!

    Like I was telling you by mail, this error may appears on “modest” servers since Weather Station 2.8.x, if you use many plugins or if your server has too few memory or disk space available.
    It appears exactly when the first plugin (after loading) try to download something. In the case of Weather Station it’s when it try to download a “partial translation” from www.ads-software.com for a language which is not fully translated.

    Thanks you for alerting me on this, I will make a fix to prevent this type of servers to use “partial translations” when overloading is constated. It will be available in 3-4 days…

    PS : the best method to delete a plugin, when you have no access to wp-admin is to delete its directory in /wp-content/plugins/. The method you give is also totally valid, but requires to tinker in the database ??
