But… I don’t understand. I’m on https://www.criticsremote.com right now, and when I look at the page source, I see the AutoComplete CSS and Javascript being called:

<link rel='stylesheet' id='SearchAutocomplete-theme-css'  href='https://www.criticsremote.com/wp-content/plugins/search-autocomplete/css/redmond/jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.min.css' type='text/css' media='all' />

...

<script type='text/javascript'>
/* <![CDATA[ */
var SearchAutocomplete = {"ajaxurl":"http:\/\/www.criticsremote.com\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php","fieldName":"[name=\"s\"]","minLength":"3"};
/* ]]> */
</script>

<script type='text/javascript' src='https://www.criticsremote.com/wp-content/plugins/search-autocomplete/js/search-autocomplete.min.js'></script>

The plugin is definitely activated in the Dashboard, too. What are you looking for that’s not there?

Can you please check again? I may have forgotten to clear the cache between disabling and enabling the plugin to try and figure it out.

I definitely see some of the plugin’s scripts now.

Hi,

I have 4.0.27 running on WordPress 3.9. I just tried again, and I still get the error message.

I tried deleting the plugin and reinstalling it, but still didn’t fix it. I’m guessing the lock is somewhere in the database?

The blank page issue is really, really too bad… I tried quite a few caching plugins and none are as full-featured and comprehensive as W3. But alas, I simply cannot use it. :/

Update:

I DELETED my /wp-admin and /wp-include folders, then re-uploaded them. This DID fix the issue. YAY!!

Thank you jeezyo for your time… Much appreciated!!

I’ve tried these things before, but they didn’t work. I went through every step again just to be 100% sure.

– Switched to default theme: problem still persists.

– Disabled all plugins: problem still persists.

– Re-uploaded all files to the server (root files, /wp-include, /wp-admin): problem still persists.

Still baffled that one user on my Windows box would have the problem while the other doesn’t… ??

Hi jeezyo,

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked, and it was indeed NOT checked. I still see the tab in the Post page – the toolbar just doesn’t show up, and the HTML code shows instead of the visual page.

Just to be on the safe side, I’ve checked the box and unchecked it. No dice, still broken.

I don’t know what causes it, but I noticed that the Lightbox doesn’t work with some themes, and works fine with others. Try setting your theme to one with which you know it works, and see if that helps… Unfortunately, I don’t know why certain themes break it.

Fwaggle: Another feature which ogre fixed was Lightbox overlay… It doesn’t seem to be working with your version of the plugin, however.

Good catch, fwaggle. This might just be an oversight from ogre, but given the nature of the code, I find that really hard to believe. Still grateful for the fix, as it DID solve the problem… But I have removed the offending code now. I would have supported ogre’s efforts if he had been clear on this, but this lack of transparency is unacceptable.

Glad you came through and cleaned it, fwaggle. Thank you.

Hi ogrethegreat,

THANK YOU!! for doing this. I installed your update of the plugin, and everything is working again; insert functions are working, and Lightbox is back.

That’s really gracious of you! Hopefully Trent will pick up development again, but I really appreciate you doing this and sharing it.

By the way: maybe I did something wrong the first go around, but I just overwrote the original plugin with your files, and somehow it didn’t work. I tried again by doing the following:

– Deactivate the plugin
– Backup the plugin and delete it
– Copy ogre’s update to my plugin folder
– Reactivate it

Worked like a charm. I didn’t have to re-enter my settings, as they were stored in the database.

Cheers!

The WordPress 2.8 update has broken WordPress Flickr Manager. There has been no sign – yet – that the plugin author will update it… I hope he does, because this is possibly the greatest WordPress plugin out there.

Another thing that the upgrade has broken is Lightbox and Mudslide. Neither of them work anymore.
