fGallery & WordPress 2.9
Comments(3) Today I upgraded to the newest WP version 2.9 (auto upgrade) only to be greeted by a blank screen. I didn’t know what caused the error, presuming it had something to do with automatic upgrade process within WordPress, so I logged in via FTP and deleted all the files (other than wp-content folder) and uploaded them again manually. This didn’t produce any results so I went back to WordPress.org upgrade manual where it says plugins should be disabled prior to upgrading (I skipped that step at first). I then deleted my plugins folder and started uploading and activating them back one by one, quickly realizing in the process that the problem was with fGallery. I’ve been planning on moving on from this troublesome plugin for a while now but so far had no time to migrate completely.
I guess this last issue put another nail in the coffin and I’ll try to move on as soon as possible. What happened is that fGallery requires two files in the wp-includes folder that appear to be missing in WP2.9 and that triggered a fatal error while attempting to reactivate the plugin. Since my old galleries still require fGallery to display photos I needed a solution. And it was a simple one, I just copied gettext.php and streams.php from an older release of WordPress. It doesn’t seem to bother the new version and my galleries are working again so until I disable fGallery for good those two files are staying there.
Hello I’m using fgallery too but I have just noticed that dosent show up all thumnail pictures what caused this I would really appriciate if you help me with that issue
As I mentioned I’m moving away from this plugin. The original author abandoned it long ago with too many unfixed bugs and I’m tired of trying to find a solution for them. There’s no way I can help.
I understand mate I guess I will have to remove the plug-in as you did
Thank you !
