Something Not Right, But I Don't Know What

Okay, I’ve got it working now with [dg id=-1] and the MIME type seems to have to include “application”.

This is a multisite install and all the blogs are working except the main site, which is still giving me a blank page. When I go to the settings to fix this, the settings page won’t save any changes I make. I’ve tried two user accounts and two different browsers to eliminate a cache issue. No dice.

This was not stuck while I was changing settings trying to sort the first issue … I would rather not go through the hassle of deleting and reinstalling the plugin if possible.

One more update; debugging is on (stuck that way) and the log file is throwing an error:

Hi careb,

This is an interesting issue. I’m not immediately sure what has happened, beyond the fact that the options structure in your most recent post is invalid (somehow it got corrupted).

I’ve developed some test code which should resolve the issue in the short term as well as generate some debugging information for me to be able to find the root of the problem. This patch involves replacing the contents of inc/class-document-gallery.php under the Document Gallery install root with this: https://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ZFKSD5ws.

This test code can be applied without you having to perform an uninstall/reinstall. If your WP install has plugin editing functionality enabled, that will be the easiest way to perform this patch. Simply navigate to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Editor and select Document Gallery in the editor combobox, then click the name of the file mentioned above.

If the above is not possible, the less easy option will require you accessing your server and updating the file over FTP. I can describe this process in detail if needed.

Once you’ve copied this file over, I would expect the issues you are experiencing to go away, but there will be some additional debugging steps to find what is actually breaking things. I’ll describe that once we have this step out of the way.

Hi Dan,

I appreciate the response and the code, but I’ve already solved the problem by uninstalling the plugin and then deleting the leftover entries in the database. Without that last step, the plugin wouldn’t work correctly whenever I deactivated, deleted, and redownloaded it.

There was definitely some kind of corruption with the entry in the database, and thankfully it was limited to this one plugin.

I’ve saved your pastern code so if this happens again, I will try it. But I hope this was just caused by an update not fully taking.

Thanks again.
