[Plugin: Now Reading Reloaded] Save options in admin lead to a blank page

I tried deleting the plugins file and the 4 wp tables relating to this plugin. But the un-installation wasn’t complete though. When I reupload the file, the options page still has my old settings. How do I reset everything to default? Please advise. Thanks!

Truth,

Now Reading [Reloaded] makes three entries in the wp_options table. Look for

• nowReadingOptions
• nowReadingVersions
• nowReadingWidget (possibly)

Uhm sorry but how do I go about deleting those entries using phpmyadmin?

very new to this. Tks.

Okay I deleted away those entries and did a fresh installation. It still doesn’t work. ??

Truth,

If you’re truly doing a fresh installation, it’s possibly a conflict with other plugins.

I found the conflicting plugin. It’s the WP Slim Box 2.

Hmmm, should I be contacting the author of that plugin or…?

Please advise. Thanks ??

Okay I avoid the problem first by deactivating the Slim Box 2. Update all the options for Now Reading Reloaded. Activate Slim Box 2 again. It works so far. But while Slim Box 2 is activated, option page for NRR cannot be updated.

Uhm, by the way, I notice something weird

7 books overall; 7 books read in the last year; 7 books read in the last month. That's an average of 217 books each month.

For whatever reason, the WPlize class in Slimbox2 breaks Now Reading Reloaded. I think the Slimbox2 plugin is trampling over a particular variable name and NRR doesn’t like it.

This may very well be a non-issue come 6.0, but for the time being, may I suggest a different lightbox plugin? I like Shadowbox and Colorbox, personally.

Re: average. I don’t see that line on your blog anymore, and can’t reproduce it elsewhere…..

Oh I see. I really like Slimbox 2 because it’s a lot faster. The trick now is to:

– Disable Slimbox 2
– Make any changes to options for NRR, options will saved successfully
– Enable Slimbox 2 again

There will be no errors other than the fact that the options cannot be updated. Anyway, I remove the average line in my template because it looks funny. Anyway, might be due to the conflicting plugins causing the weird average count of the books. When the WPlize issue is fixed, maybe that average issue will be fix as well.

For now, I shall continue to use both plugins together (w/o the average stats). Thanks so much for the support help rendered. I look forward to version 6.0 then. Thanks! ??

I am having this same issue, only I am not running Slimbox 2 or anything of the sort – in fact, all of my plugins are disabled at the moment. I cannot save the options page – including all of my Amazon information – because when I hit “save options” it takes me to a blank page with “500 Server Error”.

Any ideas? Mixed Bredie, did you ever resolve your issue? My apache error logs look a lot like yours:
