UPDATE 3: While having all ACF fields on all posts and pages isn’t ideal, I thought I could work with that for the moment. I needed to create a new ACF group, so I went to do that and the Add Field button doesn’t work. I can Publish the group, but can’t add any fields or give it a location.

Still don’t have the mod_rewrite working, but for my purposes I don’t need the name variable anyway, so I went with this solution:

Add this line

unset($_GET[‘name’]);

to your wp_config.php file.

Found that solution here.

I’m on a Netfirms Advantage hosting account and had the hanging problem with 3.0.5. this morning. I’ve never worked with Netfirms before, so have no history of whether this has happened with earlier updates.

I ended up doing a manual install, but instead of getting the “database needs updating” message, I got an “update incomplete” message with a link to the update page.

So I did the auto-update – it hung four times at various stages (I never lost my admin screen or got a server error) – and on the fifth try, it completed the update and the site (which has no content or plugins yet) is apparently running fine.

I’m concerned to hear about these other 500 errors when updating content within a Netfirms WP site…

Been scouring the net for others with this problem. My client is getting a blank popup on both IE8 and FF3.5 (both Windows) when he tries the following Visual Editor buttons (and we need the Visual Editor):

Add a Link
Paste from Word

We’re using WordPress MU 2.9.2.

When I log in with IE8 or FF3.5 on an XP or a Vista machine, I can see things just fine.

Should also mention that I’ve checked his javascript/security/popup settings and they match mine. Plus he can see all kinds of similar popup windows (greyed out background) for Lightbox effects, etc, including the Add Media popups (this made me think it might be a Tiny MCE problem, as I’ve heard others suggest on the web, but it’s odd then that I can’t replicate it…)

Problem solved!

Turns out the image used as the placeholder (when the video first comes up) suddenly began to interfere with the playing of FLVs stored on my server. Things continued to be fine for videos on YouTube.

I was using a PNG and things were working fine with the image up until a couple of months ago.

I haven’t tried using a JPG or creating a new PNG – I’m just glad the videos are running now!

BTW, if you have lots of videos, just go into phpmyadmin and do a search and replace on the “image” field of your wp_wordtube table.

I installed WordTube 2.2.1 on another site, uploaded the FLV that’s not working, and it plays just fine. Version 2.2.1 uses JW Player 4.2 as opposed to 4.3 in Version 2.2.2.

However, when I update from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 on this second site, the FLV continues to play.

So now I’ve deleted 2.2.2 from the original site (only the WordTube files, not its database tables!) re-installed 2.2.1. But the FLV files still won’t play.

Trying an automated update to 2.2.2 – still won’t play the FLVs.

Thought it might be something about server settings and FLV mime types being changed somehow, but both sites are on the same server.

Very puzzling.

I’ve tried converting an MOV to FLV (using same program and settings as I did a year ago) and uploading that via WordTube – it plays just fine in a post.

I’ve also tried re-uploading one of the FLVs that won’t play (via FTP only) but it didn’t help.

Next I’ll try re-uploading one of the problem FLVs through WordTube and then insert it into a new post using the new ID.

Tried working through this same issue – best I’ve been able to come up with is:

<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&include=416'); ?>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of=416'); ?>
</ul>

Just did a copmletely fresh 2.8.1 install on a new site, using the downloaded zip file, and the Incoming Links now shows the usual Google Blog Search feed URL with my domain name plugged in etc.

Weird.

I tried saving a copy of everything in the widget_execphp database entry, carefully removing the php code and not disturbing coding like this: a:3:{i:393953001;a:2:{s:5:”title”;s:21:”

I put everything back into the row, but I’m still getting the error:

Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array

I then tried deleting the row entirely along with deactivating the ExecPHP Widget plugin, but the Widget admin page still says I have 4 widgets – when I looked at the sidebars_widgets row, I could see that it was still referencing the code I had deleted, so the system thinks the widgets are still there…

Am I safe simply to erase the content of sidebars_widgets and will that allow me to start again from scratch?

Thanks for the hack, mthomps.

I also put in my vote for adding “depth” but this will get me through for the moment!

Similar issue.

Category hierarchy shows correctly in phpmyadmin and in the category list when adding/editing post, but my third-level category is missing in the categories list under Posts in the admin section.

Posts assigned to this third-level category show up just fine and my breadcrumb trail shows the category.

Tried logging out and logging in again – no change.

I’ve got about 100 free video tutorials on WordPress at SeeHowTwo.com

Ok, somehow when I worked on the wordtube.class.php an extra line got added below the ending tag of the php. Not sure how and I know enough about coding not to have added the space deliberately.

Anyway, the plug is working fine and so is the admin!

?? Well, the front-end is working great, but this change in the file has killed the admin interface, giving this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordtube/lib/wordtube.class.php:795) in /public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850

When I put back the original wordtube.class.php file, it’s fine.

Hmmm, back to the drawing board.
