sometimes,mostly it just get stuck on the plugin install page.

last line saying: installing plugin….

but after hours still not complete.

when there is an error it just says exceeded 10sec file access on line 360

change gsearch to search

the correct syntax is:

[nggallery id=1 template=carousel]

The problem seem to be caused by the difference between how some host handle the root folder assignment.

my solution from over a year ago: found here, is to set the plugin root to the wordpress installed location

If you login as admin and go to your dashboard (admin panel).

Under the section titled Users in the sidebar you will see Avatars (if you have the plugin installed), select it.

you should see a list of your users with their avatars and path to said avatar.

scroll down to the settings section below the list and look for a checkbox User Upload, check it, then in the line above enter the directory location where you want avatars saved when uploaded.

Now when users login to their profile there will be a line allowing them to upload an avatar

well right now I cant change host, can you suggest temporary changes i can make either to function.php or your plugin that might resolve this issue?

Thank you to both tigtog and alchymyth. I used alchymyth’s because it was a simple cut and paste but could tell both would work.

just edit it:)

here is the link

Ok finally got a response from the Host:

Hello,

If you get ‘open_basedir restriction in effect, file is not within the allowed path’ or similar error message, please make sure your script is trying to access files from YOUR home directory (which is /home/yourusername/*)

You are not allowed to access files from directories outside your account.

Is it possible to modify yhe plugin script to resolve this as it seems it is an issue with how the plugin references the root folder (which it is getting from a PHP constant ,I could be wrong on this) relative to how the host does. They wont change so I’ll have to from my end

Help please.

thanks for the reply, but could you elaborate a bit. It seem to be a directory issue, not sure if its rights or something else. maybe its something I can resolve myself.

thanks in advance

Any help is greatly appreciated

yes it can. Playlist format is xml tag (xspf)

check the author’s forum for a brief explanation.

edit line 798 of avatar.php

$root = avatar_root();

change to:

$root = ABSPATH;

Ps: make sure you set permission for your avatar folder to 777

I have had problems with up loading avatars with this plugin for a long time. Exchanged messages with the author a few times but provided very little help.

my WP root folder is /public_html

and if I placed this before the avatar folder(/public_html/avatars) then the file uploaded fine (/avatars gives a “dir don’t exist error“), but the plugin couldn’t find it(even though it was in the correct folder.

didn’t have as much knowledge as BALDGOAT but knew it had to do with how the root path was difined.

so search the code avatars.php and at line 798

$root = avatar_root();

I commented it out

//$root = avatar_root();

and add this in a new line below

$root = ABSPATH;

all seem to be well now

PS: make sure you make the /avatars folder writable (permission 777)

Got .98 to work thanks

next question, can I insert this in a widget sidebar?
