Missing plugin thumbnails (Mystery)

    Hi,

    On one of my WP installations some of the plugin thumbnails are missing on the dashboard page where you can search for plugins.

    Also when I install and activate a plugin, from which the thumbnail was missing, it doesn’t work, all plugin settings pages seem to be put in one long page that is frozen.

    All other plugins work fine and on other WP installations I have on the same shared hosting server.

    Does anybody have a clue what’s going wrong here?

    Thanks!

    Thanks!

    I’d look at my actual plugins list instead of that list.

    That’s in Dashboard –> Plugins

    The list you are looking at is very dependent on the plugin repository while the actual plugins list on your site (in your dashboard) is built from your website itself. It’s not so much that there’s a problem with the repository… it’s just a huge amount of info to pass down to your web browser while syncing to your website also. Sometimes something needs to give so you get missing thumbnails, incomplete lists and inaccurate status.

    Don’t worry though it won’t install a plugin twice and using the dashboard’s plugin list should be much more accurate and informative.

    The problem is that if I install and activate a plugin that didn’t have a thumbnail the plugin crashes

    I use Chrome and have an AD Blocker installed, and that caused the problem. Because with the Ad Blocker active it works fine.

    On the other WP install it works fine even with Ad Blocker, I have no clue why, but hey, if it works it works.

    Thank you for your replies guys!
