Avatars not showing / plugin incompatibility

  • I’ve been using this plugin to display the name, avatar and bio in descending order of posts written for over a year on this page, using the following short code and it has been great.

    https://www.oxfordshirebloggers.co.uk/bloggers/
    [authoravatars user_link=authorpage show_name=true show_biography=true min_post_count=1 order=post_count,desc]

    However, recently it stopped working. I don’t know exactly when, but someone told me it was not working last week. I’ve upgraded wordpress and the plugin and it still doesn’t work. I can get it to work if I turn off about half of the other plugins I have installed so I assume it is an incompatibility issue, but there were too many to find alternatives. They include Fancier Author Box, Google Analytics by ShareThis and Google XML sitemaps.

    Any suggestions

    Hi

    Not sure how to debug this? You could turn on error logging.

    Looking at the page it looks like you are getting fatal error as the page stops rendering so tuning the debugging for a bit will tell what is causing this.

    The name of the website is a bit of a clue on where I’m based isn’t it? Are you visiting the UK?

    Thank you for the tip about debugging, I haven’t used that before. I’m getting the following error

    register_sidebar_widget is deprecated since version 2.8.0! Use wp_register_sidebar_widget() instead. in /home/darktea/public_html/oxfordshirebloggers.co.uk/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3829
    register_widget_control is deprecated since version 2.8.0! Use wp_register_widget_control() instead. in /home/darktea/public_html/oxfordshirebloggers.co.uk/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3829

    I was hoping it was going to be a simple case of changing the code on line 3829, but unfortunately not. I’ll keep investigating.

    I’ve got it working, although I haven’t “fixed” it.

    I haven’t been able to find register_sidebar_widget so I went back to basics and deactivated all the plugins and changed my theme. Then activate my theme again and each plugin one by one. This has helped as I’ve been able to turn on more plugins, but I still had a problem with

    Jetpack – memory allocation so possibly with my set up
    Co-Author Plus – page doesn’t fully install as earlier

    Neither of these plugins are essential for me so I’ve left them deactivated.
