NextGen Gallery fails to create new gallery

matt — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 15:23:26 +0000

For some reason the slug field was missing in the wp_6_ngg_gallery on one of my WordPress multisite blogs.

The fix . . .

ALTER TABLE `wp_6_ngg_gallery` ADD `slug` VARCHAR( 255 ) NULL AFTER `name`;
ALTER TABLE `wp_6_ngg_pictures` ADD `image_slug` VARCHAR NOT NULL AFTER `pid`

SlidePress Plugin Redirect Bug

matt — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 14:24:46 +0000

When clicking on settings links for the SlidePress plugin in a multi-user WordPress site the plugin would redirect to /wp-admin/?c=1 for each domain except the parent site.

[code lang="php"]function get_current_user_role() {
global $current_user, $wp_roles;
$role_names = $wp_roles -> get_names();
/* UPDATED 11/2/2010 9:21 AM
* by matt.thiessen@sourcemedia.net
*/
// modified [start]
reset($current_user->roles);
$first_key = key($current_user->roles);
return preg_replace( "/\|.*/", '', $role_names[$current_user->roles[$first_key]]);
/*old*///return preg_replace( "/\|.*/", '', $role_names[$current_user->roles[0]]);
// modified [end]
}[\code]

Also, make sure if you are an admin user with super user privileges you are added at a admin user to the site you are using the SlidePress plugin.

This will add proper capabilities to the database in the wp_usermeta table.
meta_key: wp_25_capabilities
meta_value: a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}

is_home() not working in my WordPress plugin

matt — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 18:05:46 +0000

When using is_home(), is_category(), is_page() etc. in my WordPress plugin that displays category-based ads, they kept returning NULL.

My problem was that I was calling this these function directly in my plugin. I resolved this by adding these call to my adHeaderSetup() function and setting the hook add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘adHeaderSetup’);
