No fault to the developer for finally trying to recoup a little cash for hours of work that was previously a thankless effort, but ReadyGraph just looks like another “free” app to collect your user’s IDs and track their activities, sort of like the Google Analytic’s. The producers of such “free code” put up a facade of glitter and use your user’s info to generate revenue for themselves in trade for your user’s privacy.

You can’t really install Subscribe2 without the ReadyGraph banners popping up. Unless I find a way to strip out ReadyGraph completely, I’m in the market for a truly independently developed email plugin without funneling my user’s emails and data to an unknown mother ship.

Any suggestions?

That worked, thank you! But FYI, the number skipping starting at record 411 still exists and I say that only in case it means anything to your application. Otherwise the value did change to AUTO_INCREMENT with this bit of instructions, and this appears to have fixed the problem, even in Firefox!

Thanks again – love your plugin!!!!!

Ok, I did this:

Went through the list for browser_id checking each record. I found about 12 entries that had a number set for browser_id and the only other column populated was the Platform field. So for now, I have deleted every entry that was missing data in any of the fields except user_agent. About half of the entries appear to be missing that field, user_agent.

I went back to try to enable AUTO_ENCREMENT again and it failed again.

When I page down my browser_id table, I see the values for browser_id increment one count per line beginning at 0 and up until value 411 in the list, they all increase by a value of one count per line. Then at the point of reaching value 411, the value for browser_id begins skipping great series of numbers, first it skips up to like 425, 460, 499, then it gets very radical skipping hundreds of number at a time and finally stopping at 1950.

Should I delete all the records that are not incremental counts of one, and will that allow me to set the AUTO_ENCREMENT value without receiving the error:
SQL query:

Here is what I see for: browser_id

I got this error on my database:

Then I opened up PhpAdmin and I opened the variable browser_id for manual editing. Everything was set as described here with the exception of the column “Extra”. At the moment I selected the only pull-down option, “auto_increment”, it stated that the Default value of 0 (which was previously in the field) was invalid.

I have the same thing and I also have a scrambled mess when I look at Slimstat Activity Log using Firefox 28.0. It looks nowhere the same in Firefox as in IE. Note that in IE, the problem seems to be that only about the first 10 are showing of what the top bar says “Results 1-50 of 756” (with no scroll bar). When I view the same in Firefox 28.0, the Activity log shows “At a Glance” with colors running out of fields and a list of what looks like various posts from the blog along with a line showing various browser names. Looks not even remotely like the IE version (old version before last night’s total WP and Plugin update).

Also I am not a SQL whiz so I am reluctant to enter the above command (first obstacle being not knowing where to enter it!).

I just found this in \wp-includes\default-widgets.php. I don’t like the looks of this implementation. Can I delete this section of code all together:

function widget( $args, $instance ) {
		extract($args);
		$title = apply_filters('widget_title', empty($instance['title']) ? __('Meta') : $instance['title'], $instance, $this->id_base);

		echo $before_widget;
		if ( $title )
			echo $before_title . $title . $after_title;
?>

Do you know what sort of data is being sent back to wordpress.com when Jetpack is enabled? I don’t like sharing my webstats with someone other than myself, which leaves a limited set of available suites. Thanks!

Facebook warnings and “social engineering” first inform us all over the ‘net that there is no need to create two profiles, they say add a private “page” and your business or hobby is completely separate from your normal “personal profile”. Then later the spin in the blog world is to spread fear that FB will be scanning for duplicate profiles and they will delete all your info if they find a duplicate.

So thus why does FB offer their “official” plugin as one that plasters WP blog publishing over BOTH your private “page” and your “personal profile”. The settings on the control panel mean nothing, the post gets put on both places, the “page” and the “profile”. No good!!!!

This sounds like a reasonable question, I am curious too. Wwat is this plugin and can we install it on a stand alone WP installation? Thanks!

I simply removed WPG2, all the files and did a fresh install and this resolved the problem. Apparently this plug-in needs to be totally deleted and re-installed where there is an update.
