Big problem.

When I tried to automatically upgrade this plugin I ended up with an error in my WP plugin page about the nextgen file being unavailable. Worse is that I now have an empty plugin folder which causes my homepage to throw an error because the plugin isn’t available.

I cannot download any of the zip files for this plug in. Not sure where the problem is. Firefox tells me it’s unable to connect when I try to download any version.

Is there an alternate download page?

Stupid me. I decided to let this plug in upgrade automatically. Now I have an empty nextgen gallery plug-in folder, a broken nggSlideshowWidget() on my homepage, and now that the zip versions of the plug-in are not available, no way to download the plug-in and fix the issue. So now I’m stuck commenting out the widget call and have no slideshow on my homepage. The nextgen slideshow was the only thing providing any visuals.

skinsch, if you view your page in Firefox do you get “Redirect Loop” error?

you might want to post your wp-config settings

for starters you can’t use localhost as you DB_HOST with GoDaddy

I’m not using localhost.

define('DB_NAME', 'BethElWP4');
define('DB_USER', 'BethElWP4');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'NOT_MY_REAL_PASSWORD');
define('DB_HOST', 'p50mysql201.secureserver.net');
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

I added

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

… and got these messages (not sure if that helps) …

My site’s preview url is: https://bethelnyc.org.previewdns.com/wp3/

Fyi, I’m using the preview instead of the actual url. because I haven’t switched dns yet.

Any help is appreciated.

It’s simple. The latest version of WP will not work on GoDaddy.

My fourth attempt at installing WP failed. “Redirect Loop”

I manually uploaded the latest WP files into a new directory on my GoDaddy server. I created a new blank MySQL database. I set my config to use the new db. I did not activate any themes. I did not enter any posts or page text.

I think I’m in the same boat. I’ve tried three times to install WordPress into a new GoDadday account and move my existing blog into it, and three times I get “Redirect Loop” in Firefox. My first attempt was to do everything via FTP. My latest attempt was using GoDaddy’s simple installation.

This last time I did a clean install. When I switched to a new theme, one that came with the installation, my pages stopped working. I’ve done nothing more than install and switch the theme. Reverting back to the default theme doesn’t fix it.

I’m now going to try and do a forth clean install using FTP.

Here’s the solution. I found this by

1) googling this link: https://wordpress.pastebin.ca/893007

2) clicking on “Cached.”

A great way to view an expired post.

Google’s cached link.

andrewscott, not sure if you noticed that you posted a duplicate of the same issue I did shortly after me, with almost the exact same message title ??

Yes. That link is dead. I have the same issue.
