    Yesterday I was trying to add this plug-in to a site my wife is working on and when going to the settings screen we got a blank page.

    To see where the the issue was this morning I have set up a fresh WP 4.1 local install on my laptop, initialised the DB, logged in, deleted hello dolly and then installed this plugin.

    When going to the settings page I get the following error:
    Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /Users/dave/Sites/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/document-gallery/inc/class-thumber.php on line 444

    This code is in the isGoogleDriveAvailable function.

    Update: If I comment the whole function contents out and return false then it comes to life.

    I’m on OSX 10.10.1 using chrome 64 bit and I do have Google drive installed if that is any help.

    Thanks for reporting this (and isolating exactly what is going wrong)! Never seen that behavior before. It should be an easy fix though so I’ll try to have a fix out this evening.

    Great. FWIW, I tried the plugin on a live site rather than a dev one hosted on my macbook or my wife’s mac mini and it worked just fine.

    Got any tips on how I can get Ghostscript working on my macbook?

    Hey Dave,

    The issue should be resolved in 2.3.6 (just released). I’m guessing it didn’t work on those test systems because WP can’t find any methods for performing HTTP requests (like curl).

    For getting Ghostscript on a Mac, it looks like this is your best bet for a pre-built download: https://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/ (grab the .pkg file). Once it’s installed, if Document Gallery doesn’t detect the executable location then you can manually set that value at Dashboard -> Document Gallery Settings -> Advanced.

    Let me know how it goes!

    PS: If you’ve found this plugin useful, please take a moment to rate it. Thanks! ??

    The new release works perfectly thanks.

    I’d already installed the ghostscript from the link you posted, but now I have set the path in advanced setting I can set the option but still no thumbnails. I’m not to bothered about this as I did test it and it’s working on the live server.

    Thanks for the great support!
