Thank you MacManX!
I did what you said and all is back in proper working order.

I”m not quite sure how I would reset my plugins without a dashboard. I did try renaming the plugin directory and renaming the theme. Neither of them had any effect.

To TigWeb,

The patch should correct the error you are receiving. Make sure you placed the code in the PDb_shortcode.class.php file. The file on your installation will be found in the following directory:
wp-content/plugins/participants-database/classes.

If you can wait I think xnau will have a patch out soon.

I have a fix for the $readonly_inputs fatal error.
The following statement needs to be added to the new version of the plugin. It was present in the older version of the plugin.

/**
   * holds the current value of the "readonly_inputs" shortcode attribute
   */
  public static $readonly_inputs;

This statement should be placed in the following file:
classes/PDb_shortcode.class.php

If I remove the “read only” for the field then the page loads properly. I do still see the following error in the log:
09-Feb-2014 18:34:53 PHP Notice: date_default_timezone_set() [<a href='function.date-default-timezone-set'>function.date-default-timezone-set</a>]: Timezone ID '' is invalid in /homepages/22/d233747096/htdocs/tridev.dougsdiy/tridev/wp-content/plugins/participants-database/participants-database.php on line 2825

The above error is printed in the error log 9 times when the page is loaded. This error may be independent of the “read only” problem.

I’m getting the same problem with the new update too. There are some other things in the error log that might help. The page load terminates when it tries to print out a read only field (a four digit int field) in the display. The first two fields load correctly (they are not read only).

I consider this resolved.

I reloaded WordPress from the update page as you suggested. I still had the problem with the “Manage database fields” tab on Chrome.

Went to Firefox and the “Manage database fields” tab did work as it should.

Went back to Chrome, started the developer tools in Chrome and saw the Jquery problem you mentioned.

Tried removing and reinstalling the “Participants Database” plugin. Still caught the same error in developer tools. Refreshed the page and now it is working. I no longer see the error with Chrome developer tools either. Not sure which of my actions were necessary to fix it.

Thanks so much for your help.

I see that I need to post this in a new thread–so I’ll paste it in a new one.

I’m experiencing the exact same result with the “Manage Database Fields” tab as sportivito stated in his first post on this topic. I was excited to see that it was resolved until I found the answer was to remove an offending plugin. My only other plugin is Akismet which I tried deactivating but did not actually remove.

I’m using a new WordPress install (3.8.1). I downloaded the Participants Database plugin yesterday. I’m running PHP 5.2. I installed the error log widget that you recommended above, but I see that error logging has not be enabled according to the widget. I have not tried to modify the php.ini file (I think I need to do that to enable logging).

All the other tabs seem to do what I would expect and the basic functionality is working. Anything you can suggest? I can send you admin login info (by email) if that would be useful.

Thanks,
Doug

I’m also getting the “404 error page not” found when I click on the xml sitemap link. I’m wondering if it could be related to using Google’s pagespeed service.

Thanks, that works.
