Hi Monika, thanks for the recommendation.

Hi Brad.

Thanks for spotting the issue, and providing the fix. I’ve tweaked the code slightly to ensure that it still works with versions prior to WordPress 2.5, and released a new version which should show up in everybody’s plugin notifications soon.

(Although I’m just looking at the plugins directory and wondering what’s going on, because everything’s updated except the plugin version number on the summary panel… I guess it’ll probably pick it up soon.)

Cheers, Simon

In case others come across this post wanting to do this, I wrote an Intermittent Date Headers function to do this (you can grab it by clicking on the link above).

The issue I had was that my upload directory wasn’t writeable and WP wasn’t reporting this error to the uploader correctly, therefore the uploader couldn’t display the error to me meaningfully. I’ve submitted a patch for this issue to WP which hopefully works for them and will be accepted. In the meantime:

Check your upload directory and all it’s subdirectories are writeable.

Also, bear in mind that the error message “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.” is the generic default message, so could be used in any number of different situations… i.e. your problem may not necessarily be the same as any other reported problem in this thread, which doesn’t make life easier unfortunately.

In my case the issue is within the function wp_handle_upload, which was trying to report an error using the function wp_die… but wp_die generates a human readable error report and doesn’t dump anything to the error logs (WHY?!), so all the Flash uploader, receiving something it couldn’t understand, could do was report it’s generic default error message. Not helpful. Rant over, I’m off to submit a bug report…

Hi,

Only just spotted this post. I’ve fixed the issue, and released a new version. You should be able to download it very shortly from the Exclude Pages page.

Thanks for reporting the problem. If you’re happy, will you please mark the problem “resolved”?

My plugin, Exclude Pages, will allow you to exclude a page from the navigation with no code meddling required.

HTH.

This is only a quarter of the solution I’m afraid, but you may be able to extend the code: I’ve written a plugin, Exclude Pages, which will hide pages from the navigation. They will still show up in the search. It also doesn’t work with posts… all that aside ?? it may be a start for you?

Good luck.

If you don’t want to edit the theme code, you can also do this with my plugin, Exclude Pages.
