Wordpress 3.5 won't load with comic-easel #3

Closed metakermit closed 10 years ago

metakermit commented 11 years ago

After upgrading to Wordpress 3.5 my website worked fine. After upgrading comic-easel to the new version, though, the site won't load. I have to remove the comic-easel folder from my plugins folder. The same thing happens when I install the package anew from the repository.

huh.. do you have a php error log on your hosting? (if not ask your hosting to help you set one up) to find out what the error is. Otherwise you can go to the wordpress.org/extend/plugins/comic-easel site and download a previous version .. the changes to the most recent comic easel shouldn't have done anything

Hi Philip,

I have cpanel, but I didn't find any useful logs there. I found an error_log in my Wordpress root folder (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1459554/) and one in my wp-admin folder (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1459548/). I only copied the entries for today, after I normally opened the site (without comic-easel) and then after I added comic-easel to the plugins folder, activated it, refreshed the site and got a white screen of death.

After enabling debug mode in wp-conf.php I get an addition of this message on the website:

Notice: Undefined variable: user_id in /home/epskaor/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpmu-admin-interface-language/wpmu-admin-interface-language.php on line 61 Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /home/epskaor/public_html/wp-includes/user.php on line 209

Is there some other method I can use to get more info on what's going on? Some sort of stack-trace?

Yeah, if nothing else works, I'll try to reverting to an older version of comic-easel.

Cheers, Dražen

Seriously? ... ^ you just posted the error right there, Comic Easel doesn't use the function wp_get_current_user()

Go ahead and delete the wp-content/plugins/comic-easel/ directory completely and go about your business for a few minutes doing everything you normally do and see if that fatal error comes up, .. it should but not from the comic easel plugin, .. we need to narrow down where that function call is coming from. (even if it's related or not)

The paste.ubuntu.com logs are from the error_log files on the server's file system. The "Notice: Undefined variable..." message shows up on the white-screen-of-death. I indeed couldn't open the admin panel with after the white-screen-of-death. I didn't need to get inside this panel to see these error messages, though.

You are right, after fixing the causes of these warnings and errors I had (twitter-widget and WPMU Admin Interface Language) I successfully installed and activated comic-easel without Wordpress crashing on me. It's interesting that these errors weren't a problem while comic-easel was deactivated.

Thanks for your help!

You wrote this originally:

"After upgrading comic-easel to the new version, though, the site won't load. I have to remove the comic-easel folder from my plugins folder." ... then " The same thing happens when I install the package anew from the repository."

If the site won't load how did you get into your wp-admin if the site won't load? is it just the front-end not visually showing..
