Do you mean that it’s saying that it fails to upload to the “upgrade” folder? or more specifically:

Unable to create directory …/wp-content/upgrade/social-media-widget.tmp

or something like that?

Make sure you have write access to wp-content/upgrade. (Make it chmod 777 when you’re installing plugins, then change it back to 755 when you’re done for security purposes)

When you install plugins through the WP Admin panel, it downloads the file to the server, then it unpacks it to wp-content/upgrade. Then it moves it to your plugins directory. It will fail out if Apache (or your server account) cannot write to that directory, it will fail out of the install (or upgrade).

If this doesn’t make sense, let me know.

The reason I don’t use the mailto: hardcoded in to the URL so you don’t have to worry about that, is because people use it also for an internal link for mailing lists and things like that that people can subscribe to (or Google Groups, etc).

Not sure what to tell you. It might be a server time-out issue. The plugin is quite large (due to all of the icons) and may take some time to unpack.

If the server time-out time is too low, it’ll error out. If it’s not erroring out, just be patient while it tries to unpack. Do something else and come back.

I recently just upgraded it on 4 of my websites and it appears to be working fine for me.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Indeed there were validation issues. The lines were pointed out to me in a discussion on my support forums. I have attempted to find and fix all of these issues.

Please upgrade to 2.8.2 if Validation is really important to you. Otherwise, it’s not a huge update. No added functionality.

Yeah.. It has to do with when people updated their plugins. I just happened to check in a revision on a bad day.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

This is an issue with WordPress’s repositories.

I have an informational post on my forums:

You can see the bug report here:

I’m not getting any validation errors with my widget.

What is your doctype?

Hey Scott,

Just letting you know that iTunes Ping has been added to version 2.7 which I just pushed out.

To get your iTunes Ping profile:
1) Log into iTunes Ping
2) View your profile
3) Right click your name
4) Click “Copy Link”
5) Paste that into the iTunes Ping spot in SMW
6) Click save

When the user clicks that icon, it will prompt them to open iTunes and once it loads, it’ll take them directly to your Ping profile!

I’ll look into it ??

Huh?

That’s a Twitter issue… not an issue with my widget.

My widget doesn’t “connect” to Twitter. Make sure the URL is right. All my widget does is links to your Twitter profile. Anything that happens after you click on the Twitter icon is up to Twitter or your ISP.

+1 Works for me too!

Live365 is included in 2.5!

Same issue here.

This is an issue with your theme. I have installed it on my dev box and notice the same thing.

Open your style.css file and on line 208 you’ll see:

#supplementary h3, h2.widgettitle {
border-bottom:medium none;
font-size:1.15em;
font-variant:small-caps;
margin:2em 0 -0.7em;
}

Change the margin: 2em 0 -07em; to

margin: 2em 0 0;

This should fix it.

Thanks!

I wasn’t able to fit that into 2.4, but I’ll try to get it into 2.5 in a week or so.
