There was a plugin for this – “Chrome Admin Menu Fix. By Luke Williamson.” which is now completely gone…

Did I miss a memo somewhere? Is there a security problem with this plugin or something?

I think this is because the header file is calling a specific version of the main plug-in

If you open the files and look on line 12 where it says:

Require: Styles 1.0.7

and the current version of “Styles” is 1.1.10

So, I think it would also work if you just changed that line to read

Require: Styles 1.1.10

but then you’d have to change it every time Styles updated. My PHP-fu isn’t good enough to change it to “require 1.1.10 or newer” so I just removed the requirement altogether, and so far it seems to be working.

Derek – That’s all I was thinking was that it might be being targeted, if there’s some loose code somewhere. I’m not at home right now, but I’ll email you when I get back with more. What happens is that the index.php of this and only this plug-in gets over-written or corrupted with a bunch of other stuff, which, of course, causes WP to disable it. I -think- that might open up other parts of the theme that relay on OT for functionality.

The only fix I’ve done so far is to look for other corrupted files, and replace OT with a fresh copy. Everything works fine until they replace the index.php file again.

As far as I know timthumb isn’t on the site at all, and isn’t in the current theme (no pages use the usual “TimThumb” custom field. I’ll look closer when I get home.

The client may have added a theme – not in use – that uses it, also. Would that be a vulnerability, or only the theme in use? I’ll look and see if there are any inactive themes they added and I haven’t deleted yet.

Thanks for all the action on this, by the way. I’m sorry for the initial confusion that caused a momentary unavailability.

Just sent it.

btw, when I replace the plug-in with a clean version, the site is fine again, of course.

It should list the ratings capabilities on the Plans & pricing page, I think… You look at the limitations on polls on the free account and think “ok, if I want to ask my friends where we should go to dinner once per month, maybe…”

At that point, I didn’t even both digging any deeper to see if it had some secondary feature set that was worthwhile.

I still think the pricing on polls is insane, considering how little data has to pass back and forth, but I can see a lot of value in the ratings stuff.

This is the first time I’ve looked at this plug-in… But, I have to say, the gigantic blue button square in the middle of the index page of the plug-in site that says “See Plans & Pricing” seems like kind of an obvious clue, to me…

But yes, the short version is, in order for this to be a useful tool for any except the most basic and untraveled sites, it’s gonna cost you almost $80 per month.

For most WordPress users, I’m guessing that’s more than you spend on hosting and internet access, combined.

Here’s the thing: From my understanding, it’s not a hundred polls you get at the free level, but 100 survey responses per month. After a hundred people answer, you can’t see the further answers, until you pay.

So… Basically, I guess, the free version is fine if nobody ever visits your site except your immediate family and your cat…

Even the “Pro” version – $16.66/mo – only allows you to see the first 1000 responses per month. That’s over a penny and a half per response for, basically, one ping to their servers, and a database report when it’s over.

If you only do one survey per week, and only get 250 visitors who want to participate in these surveys, you’ll get your data. Any more than 1000 answers in a month and, again, they hold the additional data hostage until you upgrade “Corporate”.

$74.92 per month for “Corporate” and unlimited answers. Four and a half times the “Pro” rate. So, if you’re getting 2000 responses, on average, you’re going to pay almost four cents per for less server traffic than one tweet, and a database report at the end.

After five minutes research, the only thing that remains interesting to me about this plug-in is that -anyone- would be gullible enough to pay that much. I mean… For $899, someone with the intelligence dog gave a soda cracker should be able to learn enough PHP/MySQL, CSS, etc., to code their own survey plug-in and pay their web hosting for the year.

I’d be happy to pay for the not inconsiderable power and flexibility of a service like this, but the pricing plans would have to at least pass the laugh test.

I just saw this… I’ll test it out and have a look.

Thanks ??

>.< ok… That would be awesome if Illustrator were the only vector illustration software in the world.

Thank you for the information, of course… That solves -my- problem nicely, but I still see it as an unnecessary limit for most of the world… I have Illustrator, I just don’t like it’s interface, so I tend to work in other tools, like Corel. What about people who don’t have Illustrator?

Being an open-source CMS, wouldn’t it make sense to post the files in a format that was more accessible? Something universal like an EPS?

I get this error set intermittently, too.

Problem is a) the file IS a JPG (but not a JEPG, specifically, since it’s built on a Windows box) and b) even the same image doesn’t cause the problem all the time.

If GIF’s don’t cause issues, perhaps PNG’s won’t either, but it’d still be cool to know what it is exactly about some JPG’s that the code doesn’t like, yeah?
