I updated several of my event plugins last night using the "right click open in new tab" method last night (I think 4 or 5 total) and now my blog will not diplayy the entries OR the right column. It only diplays the left column.

In the admin interface when I click on configure plugins it only shows the the sidebar plugins and none of the event plugins nore the link for updating event plugins now.

I was trying to update plugins to rectify another problem which wasthat my static pages all seem to have dissapeared. the leanks are there in the sidebar but the just load the main page with the url for the static page in the addres bar.

first things first though. anyone have a cle how to get my blog back?

Thanks

Hi!

Did you check each of your tabs you opened? It seems at least one upgrade might have failed and files could not be downloaded?

Check the HTML source of your blog and look for PHP Fatal Errors, or check your APache and PHP error logs. One of the right sidebar plugins is creating a fatal error for you, you'll need to spot which and might delete the files and reinstall the plugin again, or overwrite its files with a clean ZIP from spartacus.s9y.org.

Oh, I saw you provided the URL, sorry. Should read postings complete. :) I checked your HTML source. The Amazon plugin is the culprit in the right sidebar:

Code: Select all

/div><div id="RightSideBar"><!-- Force reload of Amazon ASINs -->
<div style='display:none'>getting blah into /home3/oddessey/public_html/uploads/amazon/blah<br />

Success<br />
<b>Notice</b>:  Success in <b>/home3/oddessey/public_html/bundled-libs/PEAR.php</b> on line <b>848</b><br />
Success
seems it can'T get the ASINs you configured. Maybe you can configure those ASINs differently or temporarily remove that plugin. The PHP error tells that a URL cannot be properly fetched and causes the plugin to painfully fail because of a network issue.

Your staticpage problem might be caused by URL rewriting. Did you maybe change that option and forgot to adapt permalinks?

Garvin

Hi!

If you go to your plugin admin, do you still see the staticpage event and sidebar plugin there?

Static pages are saved in the database in the 'Serendipity_Staticpages' DB table...

HTH,

I see both plugins there now and accessing the database with phpmyadmin I see all of the pages in the database (shows you how long it has been since I have had an issue, I forgot about them not being actual pages).

I tried deleting each plugin and then re adding it through spartacus. this had no effect as far as getting them to display. Although, I AM now able to see the static pages choice in the list on the side in serendipity admin interface and can modify the pages there.

Thanks

I dont know what happened but I was just explaining the issue to my wife and clicked the link and now it is working fine. someting I did must have finally gone through. The laast change I made was the delete readd of the plugins.

Thanks Garvin for you patience and perseverence with my individual issue.
