I’ve just discovered that I can’t set a publish time/date either so essentially I can’t do anything now.

My stats have disappeared too.

Hi – cheers for the swift answer. The threshold tweak seems to have worked so far!

It’s stopped displaying on new posts on one of my WordPress installations too after the recent upgrade.

I’ve got thousands of posts – https://www.wirefresh.com – but it only seems to be new posts affected.

Nothing had been changed in my installation – it seems to have just stopped working on new posts (although there appears to be no problem on a near identical install here https://www.urban75.org/blog ) .

Just to say that we’re going to have to try something else now. It’s just too slow and on a mobile nothing happens when you click on an event in agenda view.

It’s a shame because I like the way the plug in looks, but if users can’t actually get to see the listings, there’s not much point in us persevering.

The guy who has been entering the dates says that several are switchign to something else. One went back to 1970 while others seem to shift their dates around. It’s very strange.

The agenda calendar remains totally unusable in the mobile view: you can see the events listed, but it’s impossible to get any more detail.

Surely the software shouldn’t allow that to happen?

The events are hand entered.

It’s doing something even odder now – last night it would only show the listings for Nov 30 and Dec 2nd in the agenda view – missing out Dec 1st completely.

I’ve kept a screen grab if you need it.

Hi
We’ve only got events for December listed.
Cheers

OK, cheers. It’s a non-profit community site run on goodwill, so I’m afraid we can’t afford premium support!

Is cURL support likely to come any time soon, otherwise I’m sadly going to have to try and find something else, which would be a shame.

Here’s what our tech guy thinks:

Okay, I think I’ve tracked down the problem with the plugin.

It assumes that PHP has been built with an fopen() wrapper to handle SSL and https, which in our case is not true and so every outbound request using file-get-contents to https destinations will fail. If the plugin were to try using cURL instead, it would work.

So to make that part work we’ll need to recompile PHP for the whole server. This will mean taking all the sites down while the new version is installed.

My response: – is this something that his plug in should be able to handle?

Well, it’s making assumptions about the environment which aren’t going to be true of every installation, but then so would assuming cURL was installed.

You could let him know that you think you’ve tracked down the problem:
That it assumes that PHP has fopen wrappers compiled in for HTTPS, which isn’t the case on our install.

It’ll help him a) troubleshoot others who have similar issues, b) specify the requirements for the plugin better and c) improve his error-handling.

$w = stream_get_wrappers();
echo ‘openssl: ‘, extension_loaded (‘openssl’) ? ‘yes’:’no’, “\n”;
echo ‘https wrapper: ‘, in_array(‘https’, $w) ? ‘yes’:’no’, “\n”;

will tell him whether the installation has the required wrappers.

Here’s some of the errors we’re getting:

[Thu Oct 13 10:27:30 2011] [error] [client 188.222.96.49] PHP Warning: file_get_contents(https://www.google.com/calendar/ica…[email protected]/public/basic.ics) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/home/www/vhosts/www.brixtonbuzz.com/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/lib/iCalcreator.class.php on line 1558, referer: https://www.brixtonbuzz.com/wp-admin…event&page=all-in-one-event-calendar-settings

Log in details sent. My tech guy says that we’ve reinstalled WordPress, recreated the config file and restarted Apache but it seems to throw up in the same places every time.

Yani – can you post up your email address so I can sort you out a log in for the site?

It does seem very odd – all the other plug-ins work fine across all my other WordPress installations – and this is a brand new installation with only the default plug ins installed.
