Clicking Document Link Refreshes to Root Page

Hi David,

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear you’re having problems. I’ve just retested the plugin on my development site which is using 4.5.1 and unfortunately cannot recreate the problem you’re seeing. I’m happy to help dig further though to hopefully resolve.

A couple of questions if you don’t mind:

Do you have any sort of security plugins installed?
Which theme are you using?

Another line of thought I have is that maybe another plugin was updated and mine and the other one are now incompatible.

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for checking, Chris.

– it’s a child theme of Twenty10
– no security plugins (should I say that here?! :-)) There are only three plugins (Magic Fields, Nav Roles, WP Subtitle) that are active.

I’ll see if I can turn anything up. I think you’re probably right that plugins got out of step. I’ll do a clean reinstall of the Blighty and then see if I can find any conflict between the remainder. I’m getting a Fatal Error when I deactivate Magic Fields so there may be something else going that I’m not seeing.

Took me a bit to get FTP credentials but when I turned on WPDebug, I received an Undefined error for every portion of the tree that Blighty Explorer returned. The error traces the path of the folder structure, and returns the error for every subfolder listed:

Notice: Undefined index: /[root]/[subfolder]/[sub-subfolder]/ in /…/public_html/wp-content/plugins/blighty-explorer/folder.php on line 313
Notice: Undefined index: /[root]/[subfolder]/[sub-subfolder]/ in /…/public_html/wp-content/plugins/blighty-explorer/folder.php on line 121

When I click on a file that’s in this folder, the page refreshes and (as described above), instead of showing the file, shows the root folder for Blighty. The Notice warning path is the same, except now the Undefined index: is /

Unfortunately, it’s the only error I’m seeing, so I’m not sure if it’s at fault or not. Thanks for any help/advice.

Thanks for the additional information and with v1.12.0 (just uploaded to WP) I’ve improved the logic to not generate those errors. I can’t see how that was the cause of the main problem but I’m actually hopeful it was. Can you please give it a try and let me know?

That was my sense, but I didn’t really know! ?? Thanks for the update. I’ll check and will close this topic, either way, once I’ve updated to 1.12. Thanks.

No luck. Even with 1.12, I get the same reload (and I did a normal upgrade, and then did a fresh install via FTP). I also rolled back another plugin (Magic Fields 2) that the site relies on heavily, and which has been updated a couple times since we added Blighty, but it didn’t make any difference. Wonder if whatever is going on is not really a conflict between the plugins.

In any event, thanks for your help. The plugin’s super.

I appreciate your perseverance. One other question – did you happen to change your WP theme at any point? I’m following a line of thought that could possibly tie it to the theme as I override the page template when a file is selected for download.

No, in fact it’s the one thing that has never changed – in years. I believe it’s supposed to be a child of Twenty10 but however it was set up, it’s not editable through the WP dashboard (clicking a template from within the Editor throws a 404 error for the theme-editor.php) and does not, as far as I can tell, update when the Twenty10 theme has. It is giving 2 notice errors as well (deprecated) but, like the ones I saw with Blighty, I figure they’re inside baseball more than anything.

Be happy to guinea pig if you’d like me to try something!
