This was resolved two updates ago (worked in 1.8), and now has returned after the most recent update (1.81). Funny enough, when I tried to roll back to previous versions (tried 1.8 and 1.73) I can’t can’t get it working right WP 3.1.3.

In 1.8+ it hangs at ‘creating thumbnails’ like the other posts here, and in 1.73 the ‘creating thumbnails’ disappears as if it created them, but they are broken on the album page.

Hope Alex figures this out. This thing was solid for many, many revisions. I’ll pledge cash for a fix. Anyone else want to join me?

I’m having the same exact issue on a different host. Never had a problem before, either. If you go into the gallery itself, and ‘edit thumb’ on the broken thumbnail and just save it, it will display correctly as a workaround.

That said, I can’t use the uploader anymore. Gets to 100% and hangs just like the original poster.

Here’s a really, really, really easy way to reduce the file size.

Go to https://www.scriptalizer.com .. upload prototype.js .. it will reduce it 43% just like that.

Javascript Filesize summary:
Size before: 121.23 KB
Size after: 70.91 KB
50.32KB SAVED!

Save the file back to your PC.. rename it back to prototype.js.. and overwrite your old one .. (backing it up of course).

Okay — so I was following the links in the bugtracker: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/8979 ..

And it turns out that if a widget’s ID is in mixed case .. LikeThis .. WordPress has issues.

In my instance, I went into manager.php, which exec_php includes first. I made everything all lowercase in that file.

Suddenly, the save changes button is back!

Interesting — when I switch to Otto’s PHP Widget plugin instead of EXECPHP — it crashes the list of activated plugins. The widget where my PHP code went now looks like this:

%BEG_OF_TITLE%Comment Count%END_OF_TITLE%

and there’s still no save button. Maybe I’m on to something. What’s the deal with these PHP plugins killing the save button? =)

Count me in on this problem, although, like many, I found one specific plugin that did fix the issue. Here’s what I tried:

a) Clearing browser cache(s)
b) Switching to default theme
c) Replacing widgets.php with one from the the installation .ZIP

All failed.

It wasn’t until I selected all of my available plugins and deactivated them that the button returned. When I re-activated all of the same set, the button disappeared again. That meant it was something specific.

By process of elimination, the problem plugin was EXEC PHP 4.9. With about 30 other plugins installed – no problem. As soon as I add EXEC PHP, the button disappears.

I’d be interested if any of you here even are running EXEC PHP. Another user in a thread said it was their flickr plugin, but I didnt even use that myself.

Hopefully they can fix this bug in 2.72!

It’s not (just) the flickr plugin, because I have this issue too and I never had the flickr plugin. =)

there are now approaching 100 apps for android OS. why does WordPress support iPhone only? this is a revolutionary OS!

If you look at the 2.7 beta screenshots floating around, it looks like they have finally taken a serious look at fixing the design flaws of the backend:

i’ve asked for something similar to this before. there is no way inside the core wp install to do this, but im hoping there might be a plugin available in the future:

RESOLVED: Use this code:

<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://ads1.performancingads.com/js/perfads.js?r=REGION_ID"></script>

just replace your region ID.

RESOLVED: Enough emails to PerformancingAds did the trick! =)

Here’s the code:

<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://ads1.performancingads.com/js/perfads.js?r=REGION_ID"></script>

just replace your region id. thanks to all who weighed in!

Otto, here’s what I’ve experienced so far:

a) the caching doesnt prevent new ads now. that’s terrific! when changing the number of my ads on their site from 2 to 4, it showed instantly on my site.

b) the ads display, but when you click on the ‘advertise here’ button, it loads in the iframe and not in a new page. since there’s no href – is there something i can maybe pop in the php to make the click load in a new page?

c) when i do click in, their site claims I have no regions of which to buy ads. i dont know if this is because of the way that we did the include or if there’s a glitch on their site. the URL generated looks correct compared to other advertisers. i did add the regionID they gave me to the included php. when i tried this a few days ago through the plugin, their site correctly showed the regions available and the cost immediately. i’ll see if this clears up in an hour or so.

either way, i appreciate your help with this. there are others out there that have been trying to get this done outside of the plugin as well, so hopefully we’ll figure something out.

EDIT: as a test i installed the plugin again, put in the region, and clicked through. it DID NOT display the regions/prices correctly, so i will chalk that up to their site for now. so if we can figure out how to make the click go to a full page, we should be good. =)

wow. thanks! i’m going to try this right away!

sabinou – thanks for the help. unfortunately, i dont think it works like that. supercache can exclude a page (which I interpret to be a page in the WP loop) from being cached, but a direct path to a plugin is not a page in wordpress. the best real-life example i had with that exclusion feature is when I installed a WP-POLL on a certain page in wordpress which I called ‘polls’. I told supercache to exclude it, and voila, even tho the page was only a php call to the plugin, it wasnt cached and the results showed up instantly upon voting. in this situation, the ads section is hard-coded into a sidebar that is shown on every page. in php form, it’s becoming increasingly clear i can’t have the plugin work as-is AND still cache the content around it.

that’s why javascript works perfect. since it’s client-side, it can’t generate a static set of code on the server-side. so it sends the cached pages and essentially says to the browser “you finish the rest”.

the reality likely is that PerformancingAds just needs to write a javascript version. there’s a reason why google did that with adsense. it’s almost universally compatible with browsers and web platforms, doesnt need to touch your database, and will work with caching.

i’ve written them a few emails. hopefully they’ll respond to one of them.
