I am using the most recent version WOW Slider WordPress plugin, having just upgraded to version 3.0 of the plugin.

I am using the latest version of WordPress, version 3.5.1.

I also upgraded to WOW Slider for Windows version 3.0, running on Windows 7.

I am unable to import sliders using the “Add New Slider” function in WordPress. When I try to upload a slider, I get an error message at the top of the page that says “Wrong slider.”

When I try to import a slider using the “Import from folder” function, I get the following error message:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/www/users/terrance/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wowslider/api.php on line 109

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /usr/www/users/terrance/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wowslider/api.php:109) in /usr/www/users/terrance/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876

The sliders I’ve already uploaded work fine, but I can’t upload any new sliders.

I must add that I’ve been trying to use WOW Slider for a short while now, and I’ve never been able to get it to work the way it’s supposed to.

I desperately need help with this. I’m regularly getting shut out of my blog by my host, due to database issues. I have the latest version of WP running. I have the latest version of wp-cache installed and running. I’ve eliminated plugins to the point that I only have two that engage the database: Brian’s Recent Comments and Nicer Related Posts.

I desperately need to export my content from WP so that I can at least test it on some other platforms. I know that’s not a popular move around here, and I haven’t gotten a lot of help here the other times I’ve asked, but it’s something I need to do to determine how things might work in another environment.

Changing hosts isn’t going to do it. I’ve changed hosts before (I’m on my third now) and tried different configuerations of WordPress with and without plugins at each host. I’ve had the same problem every time; no matter what host, no matter what plugins I do or don’t use. I can’t keep going from host to host.

I’ve tried the wp-export plugin, after searching Google to find instructions on how to get it to work in the newest version of WordPress. I couldn’t get it to work. I got an error message and my browser hung up so bad I had to restart it. I’ve tried the existing script, but haven’t been able to get it to work either. And neither of the two options above are supported anymore anyway.

I tried the newer wp-export-to-wiki plugin, and had the same problem.

I’m down to attempting to export my database and then import it onto a local WP install on my computer and then see if I can get the plugin to work.

After that, if it doesn’t work, I’m going to have to hire someone to do it for me.

I uploaded the patched files (for those of us who don’t know how the “patch” command works) set the permissions, and I still can’t send trackbacks.

Come to think of it, ever in version of WordPress I’ve used — 1.2, 1.5 and now 2.0 — trackbacks have been broken in the initial release. Every time.

Can someone tell me what to do? I’ve uploaded the patched files to the appropriate directories. Now what? I’ve set the permissions so they can be read, written to and executed. What else do I need to do?

Well, almost.

I tried it again. But this time a shift+refresh was what it took to get the rows of buttons to show up. I now have an entire array of features. Except spellcheck, which is what I wanted most. For some reason, the spellcheck button doesn’t show up. Of course, I don’t know what’s wrong. I’ve uploaded the plugin to the TinyMCE directory in wp-includes/js.

If I’m reading the plugin correctly, it’s supposed to show up on the top row. Right after the search-replace button. But it ain’t there.

This is now what the plugin code looks like.

if (isset($wp_version)) {
add_filter("mce_plugins", "extended_editor_mce_plugins", 0);
add_filter("mce_buttons", "extended_editor_mce_buttons", 0);
add_filter("mce_buttons_2", "extended_editor_mce_buttons2", 0);
add_filter("mce_buttons_3", "extended_editor_mce_buttons3", 0);
}

function extended_editor_mce_plugins($plugins) {
array_push($plugins, "table", "fullscreen", "emotions", "advlink", "advimage", "searchreplace", "iespell");
return $plugins;
}

function extended_editor_mce_buttons($buttons) {
return array(
"cut", "copy", "paste", "separator", "undo", "redo", "separator", "search,replace", "separator", "iespell", "charmap", "emotions", "separator", "link", "unlink", "anchor", "image", "separator", "removeformat", "code", "fullscreen", "wordpress", "wphelp");
return $buttons;
}

function extended_editor_mce_buttons2($buttons) {
return array(
"formatselect", "bold", "italic", "underline", "strikethrough", "sub", "sup", "separator", "justifyleft", "justifycenter", "justifyright", "justifyfull", "separator", "bullist", "numlist", "outdent", "indent", "separator", "forecolor", "backcolor", "separator", "hr", );
return $buttons;
}

function extended_editor_mce_buttons3($buttons) {
return array(
"tablecontrols");
return $buttons;
}
?>

I think I got it right. According to the TinyMCE documeantion, the button for ispell has the same name as the plugin. I keep moving it around, saving the plugin, going to the write screen and doing a shift+refresh. I even cleared my cache just in case. Nothing. Do I need to do more than add it in the advanced_edit plugin? Do I have to edit tinymce.js too? And how do I do that without breakin it?

I can’t see what’s wrong, any more than I can see why it has to be so hard. If anyone can, I’d appreciate the help. As it is I’ll probably spend the whole day just trying to get this right.

I either need to become a programer, or stop being an early adopter.

Mike, I’ve tried the code you posted. If I just use the part for the plugins, it works fine.

When I add this

if (isset($wp_version)) {
add_filter("mce_plugins", "extended_editor_mce_plugins", 0);
add_filter("mce_buttons", "extended_editor_mce_buttons", 0);
add_filter("mce_buttons_2", extended_editor_mce_buttons2", 0);
add_filter("mce_buttons_3", "extended_editor_mce_buttons3", 0);
}

I get the following error message.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /usr/www/users/terrance/wp-content/plugins/advacned-wysiwyg.php on line 17

So, I revert back to the original plugin code, then add the plugins for TinyMCE. I have all the buttons now, but I have no idea how to get them on separate rows instead of all in one.

At present, this is what I have in the plugin editor.


if (isset($wp_version)) {
add_filter("mce_plugins", "extended_editor_mce_plugins", 0);
add_filter("mce_buttons", "extended_editor_mce_buttons", 0);
add_filter("mce_buttons_2", "extended_editor_mce_buttons_2", 0);
add_filter("mce_buttons_3", "extended_editor_mce_buttons_3", 0);
}

function extended_editor_mce_plugins($plugins) {
array_push($plugins, "table", "fullscreen", "iespell");
return $plugins;
}

function extended_editor_mce_buttons($buttons) {
return array(
"formatselect", "bold", "italic", "underline", "strikethrough", "separator",
"bullist", "numlist", "indent", "outdent", "separator",
"cut", "copy", "paste", "undo", "redo", "separator", "wphelp");
}

function extended_editor_mce_buttons_2($buttons) {
return array(
"justifyleft", "justifycenter", "justifyright", "justifyfull", "separator", "link", "unlink", "anchor", "image", "hr", "separator");
// Add buttons on the second toolbar line
return $buttons;
}

function extended_editor_mce_buttons_3($buttons) {
return array(
"table", "sub", "sup", "forecolor", "backcolor", "charmap", "separator", "code", "fullscreen", "wordpress");
// Add buttons on the third toolbar line
return $buttons;
}
?>

This is what my WYSIWYG editor bar looks like:

I’ll try it, but editing plugins is somewhat new territory for me.
