[Plugin: Share and Follow] Configuration Issue – changes not saved

I have the same issue I put a comment on andy’s homepage https://share-and-follow.com/wordpress-plugin/support/comment-page-8/#comment-5471

Could you let me know what theme and plugins you are using so I can setup a test environment?

kind regards
andy

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your reply!

I also tried deactivating most of the other plugins but that still did not fix the problem. Here are the plugins which I have installed at the moment:

– Advertising Management (inactive)
– Akismet (inactive)
– Contact Form by ContactMe.com (inactive)
– Image Widget (inactive)
– Multi-Page Toolkit (inactive)
– My Page Order
– NexGEN Gallery (inactive)
– Share and Follow (currently inactive)
– Twitter Tools (inactive)
– WP-Table Reloaded
– WP Flickr Background (inactive)

I am using the TwentyTen theme.

Thanks again for looking into this – hope a solution is possible.

Regards

Doug

Doug,

As you can see from the videos it works fine with the twentyten theme as that’s the one I use there.

I’ve just released version 1.52 and would like you to give that one a crack first. Also I’d like you to try “reset settings” at the bottom of the plugin to put it back to default and see if that helps

Do let me know
regards
andy

I’ll give it a try now and let you know, thanks.

Still the same problem ??

ok, I’m in the middle of mirroring your setup (the active plugins first) and will see what happens

regards
Andy

Doug,

I’ve set myself up with a test situation with the same config as you and cannot find any problems. all very strange.

Is it possible that you could contact me direct with access to your machine so I can take a proper look.

please mail

I’ve also tried re-installing wordpress, still no joy.

Just sent you a mail with the details.

Doug,

I’ve fixed it on your site, but I was surprised at what caused the problem.

<?php echo $_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”]; ?>

that is what the form for that admin page points to. What this is supposed to show is the full URL of the current page, but it was just showing it at the page but without the ?page=share-and-follow.php arguments at the end.

So all I have done on your server only is changed that to be
/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=share-and-follow.php
in the admin page on your server.

I am surprised it is not working correctly as this is a bit of information that server has that PHP gives out. It might be worth having a chat with your hosting agent as I would not be surprised if other plugins or applications rely on that server variable.

All the best

Hey Andy, that’s great – thank you so much for that. Kind words cost nothing though so I’ll be sure to reflect my appreciation via a donation and a good review!

The hosting firm I’m using is Fasthosts – could be an interesting bit of info for anyone else experiencing this problem.

Keep up the great work

Doug

Hey Andy, where exactly did you change that? I am having the same problem and am also using fasthosts

cheers,

john

Guys,

I’ve just had to release version 1.52.1 to fix some twitter issues I created. Anyhow, this will overwrite anything you have there.

But the bit you want to to change is the one in the file

admin-page.php

which can be found in the follow directory
/wp-content/plugins/share-and-follow/admin-page.php

Or it can be edited directly inside the plugin editor of wordpress.

The line you want to changes is line 196.
change it from :
&lg;form method=”post” action=”&lg;?php echo $_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”]; ?>”&gt

to :
<form method=”post” action=”/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=share-and-follow.php”>

All the best

Awesome Andy! Perfect plug-in and a phenomenal service, if the world would work like you a trip to Mars would be Sunday afternoon walk, wanted to donate, but have issues with pay pal, any other way?
