The web consoled says Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Does it take time to populate?

Pollycast feed is not working for me either. I get a no results found error:

Thank you Xnau!

Replacing filter with suppress=”true” did the trick.

Rob, you don’t need to use surname in your list if it’s not one of your fields – it is one of mine. You may want to check out the “other info” tab of the plugin page – there is a lot of info there on configuring to your needs:

Cheers!

Xnau – I did some testing and I think there’s some database caching issue – If I remove the entire pdb_list code from the page via cut, save and preview to ensure the page empty, then paste the cut code back, save and preview, it works as expected.

Ultimately – this code worked when I followed the steps above – not sure for how long, though. I happy to do a screencast to demo if it will help you track down the bug.

[pdb_list filter=”surname=zzzz” search=”true” fields=”surname,first_name,middle_name,date_of_birth,date_of_death” orderby=”surname,first_name” order=”asc”]

I am having the same problem! My code looks like this:

[pdb_list filter=”surname=zzzz” search=”true” fields=”surname,first_name,middle_name,date_of_birth,date_of_death” orderby=”surname,first_name” order=”asc”]

The filter is supposed to force the page to load with no results, which isn’t working.

My list is not ordering by surname, either – you will note some last names beginning with other than “a” in the first page of records (which shouldn’t be showing at all because of the filter setting)

PS – please don’t be creeped out by the fact that my participants are 38,000 dead people. ;o)

I see no errors at all. It’s as if the list feature in the admin and whatever displays when you click “Participants Database” in the admin menu just aren’t there. I tried viewing the source, too, and there’s nothing there. The server is running in single WP mode. It was at php version 5.2. I swapped it to 5.4 after the most recent discussion, but that made no difference.

I’ve also deactivated all of the plugins in the site to see if something was causing a conflict and tried going back to the default twenty-eleven theme, but that didn’t work either. I’m happy to pack up the files and send them to you if it will help – the info in the database is all public information. I really appreciate your assistance.

I tired the update, which fixed the front end error message, however in the admin I get a white content area when I click on “Particpants Database” in the menu and when I click on “list participants”

Can I uninstall and reinstall without losing all my settings?

Thanks!

Well I’m afraid that didn’t help this problem, but thanks for the info. This is probably a good preemptive strike against a second issue once I get this sorted out.

Yes, I am using 1.4.2. The problem, whatever is, occurred when my client saw the link in the WP dashboard to update the plugin and happily clicked it without notifying me (until it broke, of course!), therefore no backup exists. The symptoms of the problem are also apparent in the admin because the List Records feature is not working there either.

The other admin features work fine, just not the list records part. I can view the field names, etc.

The shortcode in the page is [pdb_list orderby “surname, first_name” order=”asc” search=”true”]

One thing to note is that while the error is thrown in the front end, the plugin is still seeing records because it provides a count of them and provides pagination.

I made a custom template, now that I think about it, but that was just for single record display. Could this be the problem? I’m not at a place where I can test right now.

If the template’s not the issue, could I uninstall and reinstall without losing the 38,000 or so records in the database? I’m open to your suggestions for the easiest path to recovery.

Lastly, let me just say how much I love this plugin. We were hard pressed to find a tool that was going to work well for our needs and this one fits the bill exactly (even if it is a bit creepy that death records are in a “participants database” – LOL!). Thank you!

I am afraid I am having a similar problem. After the update the list function in the admin is not working – I just get a blank screen in the content area. In the front end the error is:
Warning: current() [function.current]: Passed variable is not an array or object in /homepages/15/d346897192/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/participants-database/classes/PDb_List.class.php on line 80

My site, which is just development is here: https://s346897203.onlinehome.us/wordpress/obituaries-listing/

Deactivating and reactivating did not work for me.

Is it ok to roll back to the previous version?
