Missing panels after update to 3.4.2

TechnoViel,

can you check your MySQL logfile or run a quick scan via phpMyAdmin to make sure your tables are okay?

Hi Camu,
I don’t seem to have access to MySQL logs, at least I can’t find them in my management web interface.
How can I run that “quick scan”?
I ran CHECK TABLE and ANALYSE TABLE on the 5 tables containing “_SLIM_” in their name using phpMyAdmin, this was all ok.

Okay, so it’s not a mysql issue in your case. However, with no information coming from your log files / debug mode, it’s really hard to tell what the issue could be. Apparently it’s not an issue with SlimStat itself, given that we haven’t received any other complaints in this regard. Have you tried to click on Reset Tabs (under Maintenance) to see what happens?

Oh, wow, that fixed it! Panels and also the check-boxes to disable / enable them in screen options re-appeared.

Steve, did you try this?

I see a new Panel security check… maybe adding / modifying the set of panels caused this in some configurations?

Anyway, I’m, glad to have my stats back ??

Camu, thanks for your support!

YAY! Glad to be of service.

PS: a vote/review for SlimStat would be a nice way to say thank you!

That’s of course done… long time ago already, 5 stars ??

Haha, that was it ?? Seems to be working great now.

Only problem I have now is that since I re-installed every page is showing the dreaded “WARNING: a misconfigured setting and/or server environment is preventing WP SlimStat ……..”

I’ve been through the faq, as well as every result google can give me for that message. ?? grrrrrrr bloody computers !!

OK, I’m off to give you 5 stars, and thanks for your time AND patience – its really appreciated – Thank you ! ??

Griff,

the warning is probably related to a corrupted table. You may want to look into that.

Please let me know if there’s anything we can do to help.

Camu

Thanks Camu – you are a Gent ??

I just wrote a long post detailing all the steps I’d tried and suggestions I’d followed……. uninstalled slimstat, did some tidying up, reinstalled slimstat……and now it works fine ??

I ‘think’ it may have been something to do with the ‘All-In-One WP security’ plugin I’m running. It has a section that disables editing of php files (by htaccess rules). I turned off this feature, and the slimstat page disappeared, with 3 lines of errors at the top of the admin area (‘no such stream’ and ‘for each something in array’ is all I remember)

Thats when I uninstalled SS again, made sure that php editing was enabled, reinstalled SS and then disabled php edits again.

Like I say, I ‘think’ that may have been the problem, but am in no way certain – but maybe that avenue might help someone else ??

Thanks again Camu – you’re a diamond ??

You just made my day! ??

Damn thing. Spoke too soon.

Just checked and the error is back.

I think your suspicions were right, and its a database problem. If I empty the xxx_slim_stats table, the error goes away. As soon as the table gets any data in it, the error returns.

I’ve checked every table in the entire database, analyzed them, optimized them and repaired them all – everything comes back as ‘OK’, except trying to repair the 5 slimstats db’s returns “The storage engine for the table doesn’t support repair”.

I don’t know what else to do – all I know about wp and db’s I’ve picked up from google, and my limited knowledge is exhausted. If you’ve got any ideas I’d love to hear them ??

Ok, didn’t exactly solve the issue, but resolved it ??

I put back a site/database backup from last week before the trouble started. Updated the plugin to its latest version, then reset the tabs – all is working properly again.

Should have thought of that earlier ??

Well done ??
