content blogs suddenly gone

Sorry, but my developer no longer has the time to support this plugin and I don’t have the technical skills to do so myself so unfortunately I have to advise that with immediate effect the plugin is no longer supported. If anyone wants to take over support and development of Global Content Blocks you are welcome to do so under the terms of the GPL license.

I found, that the code of the content blogs are not totally lost, but in the wp-options table. The content blogs are not shown in the gcb-dashboard, because the serialized datas getting damaged: quotes are stored as html-code ".

bhenselmann I’ve read all the posts related to this and would like to get started on a resolution. Can you possibly include sample block content that causes this issue? Thanks for your time.

Hi Dave,
many thanks for maintaining this plugin! This is a sample of a crashed gcb-code in the wp_options table:

s:1186:"a:6:{s:4:"name";s:15:"Produktionsorte";s:11:"description";s:43:"Produktionsorte für die Firmendetailsseite";s:5:"value";s:792:"if (get_post_meta($post->ID,\'Land\')){
   $produktionslaender = get_post_meta($post->ID,\'Land\',FALSE);

/* L?nderauswahl f. Firmenliste -  L?nder-Seiten = 2190 - 2196 */
global $wpdb;
$i = 0;

$laender = $wpdb->get_results(\"SELECT ID, post_title, post_name
FROM $wpdb->posts
where post_type = \'page\'
and post_parent >= 2190
and post_parent <= 2196
order by post_title ASC\&quot;);
foreach ($laender as $land) {
  if (in_array($land->post_name, $produktionslaender )) {
     $permalink = get_permalink( $land->ID);
     echo \'<a href=\&quot;\' . $permalink . \'\&quot;>\' . $land->post_title . \'</a> - \';
  }
}
}
else {
if(function_exists(\'show_text_block\')) { echo show_text_block(\'keine_infos\', true); }
}&quot;;s:9:&quot;custom_id&quot;;s:15:&quot;produktionsorte&quot;;s:4:&quot;type&quot;;s:3:&quot;php&quot;;s:2:&quot;id&quot;;i:4;}";

Best regards
Bernhard

Thank you, I’ll use this in testing the issue.
