I’m having the same problem as well. Also, when I try to add a date, the calendar doesn’t come up, so I have to type the date in. But then the plugin tells me “Each sermon must have a date!”

I checked the “Disable local SSL certificate verification” box and still get the same error message.
Back in October, iThemes Support said to add this to the wp-config.php file:

define( ‘ITSEC_TEST_MALWARE_SCAN_DISABLE_SSLVERIFY’, true );

That fixed the problem for a time, but then I started getting the error messages again.

Can I send you the url privately?

We had the Connections shortcode in our Directory page – it was not in a custom sidebar. I switched to another plugin and I can now upgrade the Connections plugin.

I added this info to http:connections-pro.com/support/topic/connections-plugin-update-crashes-site/

Thanks for your help!

I followed your recommendation: I deactivated all my plugins except for Connections, then I upgraded Connections from 0.8.14 to 8.1.5. I had no problem. Then I activated the other plugins, one-at-a-time. Everything was fine until I activated the WordPress Custom Sidebar plugin (v. 2.3). Then my site crashed with the same error I mentioned above.
I checked the details for the WordPress Custom Sidebar plugin: it’s been a year since it was last updated and it’s compatible to WordPress 3.5.2. It’s probably time to find another plugin to replace the sidebar plugin.

We’re using the SlideDeck2 Widget (SD2 v. 2.3.3), NGG 2.0.27, WP 3.6.1, Genesis theme 2.0.1.

SD2 option Playback -> CrossFade. The SD2 widget is set to RESS & Proportional. Slide show is not working. Can’t advance it with the arrows either.

If I unclick RESS & Proportional, then the slide show works, but it covers my right-hand sidebar.
