Hm. That is exactly what the fix was for. Are you sure you used version 0.4.3 of the plugin?

Would you be able to look at the error log of the web server? At the time of plugin activation, there should be an entry that looks something like

WordPress database error ...
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS rsc_12_crw_projects (
    (multiple lines...)
} ENGINE=InnoDB ...

Could you post that in completed form?

If the installation is still not public, it would be helpfull if you could activate the Debug mode in wp-config.php. The plugin will then display more information about the reasons for errors.

(Please remember to deactivate that for production installations again.)

Fix is up. Please deactivate the plugin, update to v0.4.3 and activate it again.

I’ll leave this nonetheless open, since I still think site administrators will run into problems.

I just found a strange reason why things might not work, and that would have nothing to do with multisite.

You said yours was a fresh install – does this include by chance the MySQL server? If it has a version >= 5.5.3, WordPress might be using “utf8mb4” as the default character set. Can you verify that?

In this case the installation of the database tables for the plugin will have failed silently. A fix for that will be up tomorrow.

I think I found the error in my code. The right for adminitrating projects is linked to the edit_users capability, which for multisite only the network admin has.

Here you state you are using the Advanced Access Manager plugin. Can you give individual site admins the edit_users capability – only as a temporary measure? I know, in a production enviroment this would be a very bad idea, but it may take me a few days to modify the plugin for a permanent solution. Please bear with me until then.

I have to admit I never looked in the direction of multisite. So this might take a bit of time to get me up to speed.

As this plugin was never considered for multisite functionality, please make sure for now

• that you activate the plugin on every site invidually
• that admin pages are in the same (sub)domain as the individual site they are related to
• that you try to access projects only on the individual site you create them on.

(I hope this makes sense?)

Closing this topic. Feel free to reopen it if you encounter the error again.

For me the page displays fine (tested with Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome).

Could you test whether the problem depends on whether you are logged into your site or not?

Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce your error in my test installations. Therefore it would be most helpfull if I could take a look at the error directly on your site.

I can perfectly understand if you are reluctant to activate the crosswordsearch plugin and render your site useless for your visitors. All I can offer to limit the impact is the following:

• insert a ‘more…’ tag before the shortcode to avoid loading the riddle on the blog start page. (Yes, I have found the relevant blog post)
• I’ll try to monitor your site today until 21:00 CEST (19:00 UTC) and tomorrow from 12:00 to 18:00 CEST (10:00 to 16:00 UTC). As soon as I have inspected the page, I will give you notice that you can deactivate the plugin again.

Thank you in advance for your help.

At first glance this looks like a compatibility problem with some other plugin. Unfortunately, I can’t identify it from looking at your page alone. Could you please list

• all active plugins and
• all active Jetpack features?

I’ll need a few more details about what you did. You said you published a crossword. Does that mean you inserted the riddle into a post in ‘solve’ mode?

Did you try to look at your newly published post, or what were your last action(s) before the message was shown? Did you use the back/forward buttons of your browser?

Please try to re-activate the plugin and navigate to the post, first by looking at the post as it is published, then by opening it for editing. Does the problem show again?

Was there, by chance, a second message ‘Congratulation, you have solved the riddle!’ below the one you quoted?

Plugin-specific questions you should probably take to the plugin author.

A pretty simple solution would be to embed the page into an iframe. I use Advanced iFrame for that purpose. If you give the iframe relative sizes, the resulting size can be completely controlled by the embedding WP page. For more complex interactions between parent and child page, this plugin gives you a whole range of options from CSS tweaks through hiding specific elements, browser detection up to running custom Javascript on iframe load.

To be clear, your embedded page must itself react in a responsive way to size/device changes.

See here for an example based on Pinboard Theme. (The shortcode uses
width="100%" height="800" onload_resize_width="true" scrolling="no"
for controling the size plus some pretty simple CSS for border + margin.)

Which PHP version are you using? Please note that crosswordsearch at least requires PHP 5.3 or above.

Just to write it down for completeness: select difficulty level 3 or 4.
