Lost all settings

I’m just beginning to play with version 1.1.6, but I think all the settings are now at the Network level in a multisite.

See ‘change Log’ :

UPD: Multisite Support updated. Centralized settings for all blogs. (Issue #0070. Thanks to William Earnhardt for his work.)

@f1prince I think you have misunderstood my post; I know about the change of settings, my problem is that post upgrade none of the settings have bene migrated and I suspect that this is because of the change that you have referred to in the change log.

For info to others: after rolling back to the previous version everything is working again so I suspect that the settings are still stored in the old location and that 1.1.6 doesn’t look at the old location to migrate to the new location.

Sorry @compunutter, I effectively misunderstood your question.

Same happened to me. I logged out to test and couldn’t log in again. I had to disable the plugin and change my local wordpress password (both in MySQL) to enable me to log in and correct this. I’m still not sure how this is going to affect one network I manage (where each site used to store its own AD groups to authenticate against – I’ve put all the groups into the network settings now but not sure if this will work yet), and some of the settings aren’t saving properly (I cannot tick the box which allows fallback to a local password, for example).

I’m not sure (just an hypothesis), but it looks like the new version (1.1.6) only looks in the wp_sitemeta table for all options in a multisite config. Maybe you can copy your AD_Integration_% rows from wp_options or wp_?_otions table in wpsitemeta table.

Looks to me like the new v1.1.6 will BREAK many installation where we need to have AD groups specific for each site.

Hi,
some problems are fixed with 1.1.7 but not the problem that we now have only ONE setting for all sites. You should go back to 1.1.5. In the next release you’ll get the option to choose between installation wide or site specific options.

Sorry for the mess. I shouldn’t have released 1.1.6.

We lost our settings with 1.1.7

Sorry. You should go back to 1.1.5. Your settings should still be there.

I rolled one of our installations back to 1.1.5 with no problems – all settings were intact. This was on a site which required unique settings for each sub-site. If you don’t require this, you could stick with the current version and re-enter your settings at the network dashboard (or copy them as f1prince suggests).

Hi, I just did the roll back option to recover my settings but it just doesn’t work. I even delete the plugin and install again the 1.1.5 version and still nothing. Is there something else I should do?

Rolling back the plugin means replacing the plugin directory and its contents.

Are you saying you deactivated/deleted the plugin in the WordPress admin? If the plugin was deactivated or deleted in the WordPress admin, I would expect it to delete all its settings in the database.

If you have a backup of your database, it should be easy enough to recover the settings from there (AD_Integration_% rows from wp_options or wp_?_otions table if you are running multisite)
