@cpres Hi, thanks for that! Not 100% sure but I think same issue occurs in gallery.php as well as slide.php (function Validate() looks v similar!
Cheers

@ctheory Hi, No, I don’t know.
What version of wordpress are you using?
I would try the basic troubleshooting methods:
1. Disable all other plugins
2.Switch theme to 2011/2012
Does it still happen?

P.S.
I meanwhile attempted to work out the code and applied a “patch”, hence the snapshot shows a later line number.
I really don’t want to hack core files, but leave it to you who understands what they are doing.
I am pretty sure the issue is that when the form is submitted it’s seeing an array, not a string, and this caused the validate function to trip over.
if it helps at all, my work-patch is here:

function validate($data = null) {
		$this -> errors = array();

		if (!empty($data)) {
			$data = (empty($data[$this -> model])) ? $data : $data[$this -> model];
			foreach ($data as $dkey => $dval) {
	// addition: if a form is posted, $data is array[2]
				if ( is_array($dval) ) {
					foreach ($dval as $akey => $aval) {
						$akey = stripslashes($aval);
					}
					extract($dval, EXTR_SKIP);
				}else
	// end addition

				$this -> data -> {$dkey} = stripslashes($dval);
			}

Thanks for coming back to me – I like the slide display, so would hope to use it on our club site
Still same issue – original slide title was imported as dsc0002.jpg, I tried to change the title to “Southport 24Hr race” (without quotes of course!)
I have put a snapshot of the admin page on my own website and give you a link https://cp-software.co.uk/budworth/satellite_slide_title_error.png

If you need more info, let me know…
Thanks

With thanks to Dave at wickman studios below, here is a slightly revised patch, to make compatible with earlier versions and reduce the size of the URL input box – see lines around 367 onwards in sponsors-carousel.php
`
<?php _e(“New (select *full size* before insert): “, ‘sponsors-carousel’); ?>
<!– <input type=”text” name=”scwp_link_image” id=”scwp_link_image” size=”50″ value=”” style=”width: 80%” /> –>
<!– if input box is too wide, change width to max-width as in the next line, and comment out the original line, as shown here –>
<input type=”text” name=”scwp_link_image” id=”scwp_link_image” size=”50″ value=”” style=”max-width: 80%” />

<?php
if (get_bloginfo ( ‘version’ )>=”3.5″)
echo media_buttons(__(‘Add an Image’), ‘images/media-button-image.gif?ver=20100531’, ‘image’,$scwp_plugin_name); // for v3.5
else{ //for earlier WP versions
if (get_bloginfo ( ‘version’ )<“3.3”)
echo _media_button(__(‘Add an Image’), ‘images/media-button-image.gif?ver=20100531’, ‘image’);
else
echo _media_button(__(‘Add an Image’), ‘images/media-button-image.gif?ver=20100531’, ‘image’,$scwp_plugin_name);
}
?>
</div>

Yes it can be done, I didn’t find a plugin either!

Look at Role Manager plugin, set option Read Private Posts for your registered members. I have customised my site quite a lot, but I think that does what you want.

A related thought/question..
in $wpdb the wp_posts.post_category is only used for posts at present (and in version 2.1???) – could it also be used for page category?
Reason – I am writing a website for a sailing club. This needs many static pages (viewable by any visitor) plus a members’ area with news/comments/club event lists etc. I want _some_ static pages only visible for members (login). A solution would be to create categories for the static pages (e.g. public, members), and then give a menu of pages based on status of logged-in/not logged in.
Has this already been done? Is there any change in 2.1 that would render this idea incompatible?
Thanks
Chris
