    Nope no extra short codes. Just the [bugerator] and [bugerator project=XX].

    My interests have gone elsewhere for the most part but this is a fairly mature plugin. I watch the boards for any bug reports but there really haven’t been any for a while. I’ve only done casual testing with 4.7 but it should work fine. If you try it and encounter any bugs just post here and I’ll look into it.

    In other words I’m not really adding any features but I’m still around to fix bugs as they come up.

    OK first off that checkbox isn’t smart. It doesn’t check any permissions or do anything special. When you check a box the program sends an AJAX request to the server to change a setting in the settings table of the wordpress db.

    Now that checkbox is on an internal wp_admin screen so in theory it should just work. The fact that it isn’t for you tells me there must be some kind of plugin or something that is disabling the ajax request or not allowing your user to make a change to the settings table. Some security plugins stop those kinds of requests.

    So my best suggestion is this: Temporarily disable all the other plugins (or at least a security plugin if you have one). Check the box in the settings and see if it stays checked. Then turn on the other plugins again. Nothing would change that setting once it is set so it may just work at that point.

    OK adding/editing it isn’t built in. But I’m pretty sure that if you manually edit the option to add more choices that will work. You’d have to edit the database. Basically in the table {your prefix}_options there is a field named option_name. Search that for “bugerator_types” then you will see the list. Just add new options making sure there is a comma between them and it should show up everywhere.

    If you click the Add new status button it should drop down a text field where you can type whatever you want. Then hit enter or the add new status button again and it will show up on your list. Is this what you are looking for?

    Administration -> Status info. There is an “Add New Status” button at the bottom. You can also change the status colors there.

    So I loaded the private only plugin on my local test page. I added FORCE_SSL_LOGIN and FORCE_SSL_ADMIN to my config which I assume you have on yours. It seems to work for me. Although the first time I tried it the wordpress sign in appeared inside the add a picture dialog. When I hit submit the first time it didn’t work but I hit back then submit again and it seemed to work from that time forward…. So I guess when it fails hit back and try again. Seems weird but who knows…

    What method are you using to force your website to be encrypted? Just the two I mentioned or is there something else here at play?

    My plugin doesn’t load anything off site but I’d have to check to see if I have a http:// hardcoded in there anywhere for the images.

    Do you want to email me a user name and URL so I can see first hand? david at tickerator dot org.

    OK I got the sign up and the link. There is no output from my plugin at all there. So I first have to ask do you have a page there with the shortcode [bugerator] on it? If you are new to plugins this is what tells wordpress to use a plugin on a certain page.

    Assuming you have that the next step is to turn on debugging on wordpress. http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Debugging_in_WordPress – basically you need to edit your wp-config.php file like when you set up the website and add
    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
    to a blank line in that file. You will probably want to turn this off later but this will display any errors that the plugin might be generating.

    Is there a time you can disable each plugin in turn and see if it starts to work? Start with the cache plugin. My plugin is relatively simple but it does some non-standard things namely accepting web data directly and writing to the database outside of the dashboard. I could see a cache plugin messing up what my plugin is trying to do.

    If that is the case it doesn’t have to be the end of the world. This gave me the thought that I should really also allow managing the lost and found inside the dashboard. I’m a hobby programmer and I tend to get interested in these plugins every couple months or so and I think you got me at a good time so we can work through this.

    Do you have any security based plugins installed? Since the plugin is trying to edit the database while being accessed from a seemingly regular WordPress page some security plugins block that.

    Are you using a custom permalink structure on your site? I’ve had to fix a bug or two related to handling the links in the past but I think I managed to get them.

    When you try to submit can you copy and paste the URL it is trying to go to when it asks you to log in again?

    Where is your bugerator install located?

    Plugin Author David Whipple

    (@tickerator)

    no updates

    I never anticipated a need for that. Basically you can’t. If you are really determined to you can edit the database but otherwise I’d suggest copying and pasting from one to the other.
