User cannot select album anymore

    Today I noticed that a normal user cannot select an album anymore when uploading a picture. I upgraded WPPA 6.6 to 6.6.1 but this didnn’t help. I also tried to re-initialize the plugin which didn’t help either.
    A few days ago it was still working.
    When I try to upload a picture as administrator I can see all albums. Also when I log in as a normal user and edit a picture that was already uploaded I can see all albums (to move it to another album).
    Yesterday I was evaluating Yoast SEO (removed it again) so I don’t know if this has something to do with it.
    How can I make sure a user can select an album again when uploading a picture?

    Kind regards,
    Dirk

    A few simple questions:
    – what is the owner setting of the albums (e.g. the album Bloemen or Vlinders) ?
    – What is the setting in Table VII-D1.1 ?
    – What is the setting in Table VII-D1.2 ?

    I think i found it. Please update to the current dev version ( 6.6.02.001 )
    See https://wppa.nl/nl/docs-by-subject/development-version/ for instructions

    The owner of the album is always the administrator. Users are not allowed to create any album.
    The two entries you requested are not checked.
    With the beta version, a normal user can upload again.
    Thanks for the quick fix!

    Can you tell me what was wrong? Was it a bug caused by a combination of something? Or was one of the settings mixed up?

    How did you manage to upload a picture?

    Kind regards,
    Dirk

    There was a capacity issue for a site with 90.000 albums (!)

    So i had to change the code for the album selectionbox, one of the many changes in 6.6.00.

    I made the error to prematurely exclude the albums that were not owned by the visitor without checking this against setting Table VII-D1.2 in case it was unchecked.

    This fix will also be in 6.6.02 and later.
