WordPress MU

Hi Guys!

Thanks for the softs, and the fun of hacking a new thing!
I upgraded to 2006-05-18 and although I've experienced some issues:

first account created gets a garbled email address so admin password is never sent (phpMyAdmin helps here coupled with the retrieve lost password function)

comments now give a 404 error...

wp-admin/profile-update.php goes nowhere...

will jump in irc shortly to chat about these and other sundries...

any thoughts?

All errors due to new build.

wpmu-options.php
the default admin state for enabling plugins menu is off... therefore in the new build no plugins can be made available or function !!

Another issue with this build.
htaccess still does not work out of the box. So far the problem I am having with it is displaying images. I went to the old fix of using

RewriteRule ^files/(.*) /wp-inst/wp-content/blogs.php?file=$1 [L]
and at least the images are now displayed. But there are no fancy names (permalinks) it links to the image page as ?attachment_id=23
Does anybody have a fix?

Ok, a quick update. I did get some of the images sorted out, by deleting them from the post and then re-posting the image and it works just fine.
I still have the htaccess fix listed above in my htaccess, but at least the page names are fine again.

Anothe error that I cannot fix, when trying to save changes to a blog in the blogs submenu of the site admin I get this error:


Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wpmu_delete_blog() (previously declared in /home/httpd/xxx/xxx/httpdocs/wp-inst/wp-admin/wpmu-edit.php:6) in /home/httpd/xxx/xxx/httpdocs/wp-inst/wp-admin/admin-db.php on line 489

fyi, I wasnt trying to delete the blog just update a setting.

Damn, another problem.
This one is with links, links are not displaying in the blogs, and when I go to try and manage the links we get this error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_backup_queue_full() in /home/httpd/xxx/xxx/httpdocs/wp-inst/wp-admin/link-manager.php on line 194

ditto on this, the symptoms occur in multiple functions with the administration options. so far tested:

options page provides same error when attempting to allow plugins and updating options.

in Links:

WordPress database error: [Table 'wordpress.wp_2_linkcategories' doesn't exist]
SELECT cat_id, cat_name, auto_toggle, show_images, show_description, show_rating, show_updated, sort_order, sort_desc, text_before_link, text_after_link, text_after_all, list_limit FROM wp_2_linkcategories ORDER BY cat_id

more as tested

oops my bad...

Another error: This one occurs when trying to edit a user in "Authors & Users"

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/httpd/xxx/xxx/httpdocs/wp-inst/wp-admin/user-edit.php on line 74

There is also a RSS functions problem.
For problem and solution see this post

Another problem with the links, when they are not showing up on the public pages, when the theme is using links via Widgets they do not show, but if the links are hard coded into the theme then they do show.

Also when adding links this error is recieved.

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 2]
INSERT INTO wp_1_link2cat (link_id, category_id) VALUES (11, )

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/httpd/xxx/xxx/httpdocs/wp-inst/wp-includes/wp-db.php:108) in /home/httpd/xxx/xxx/httpdocs/wp-inst/wp-admin/link.php on line 79

Even though the error was recieved the link was added.
any insights?

if the changelog hasn't changed since your installed build date I assume that a new nightly build will not change circumstances from day to day ?

All the errors I am citing are from an upgrade I needed to do. I was using a build from around feb 16, as of last night I upgraged to build r548 downloaded on May 18 (I think build r548 was last updated on May 15). I have since been hammering away on that build trying to fix the errors as they are found.

Has anyone had any resolution on the admin panel issues presented in r548? I'd be eager to see any user patches esp. if they help resolve the errors and failed administration efforts :D

I think Donncha is still among the missing and I've not seen Matt around here.
