Following the installation instructions, the plugin detects all of my paths correctly so that the WPG2 Path page reports "WPG2 Paths Status: Valid".

However clicking on the "WPG2" sub-menu only shows a blank page. My browser has no javascript problems (plus I checked on another machine). Any ideas?

Thanks,

-Paul

Try to increase the amount of your php memory, try to set it to 32MB. Also note your php version getting VERY old, current version is 5.24

No worries ;) Blank page tends to be caused by the lack of php memory...

I've got the same errormessage, increasing phpmemory in the htaccess-file won't help. The following errormessage is from my serverlog:

[Thu Nov 01 11:04:57 2007] [error] [client xx.xxx.xx.xxx] PHP Fatal error:  Class 'GalleryEmbed' not found in /srv/www/vhosts/roehe.de/httpdocs/daniel/wp-content/plugins/wpg2/wpg2embed.inc on line 42, referer: http://www.roehe.de/daniel/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpg2_pathadmin

Do you have any idea that might help?

You are right, I get no error message but a blank page in the wpg2 admin section. I checked the paths and they are O.K.. The corresponding admin section says: "WPG2 Paths Status: Valid" and all other sections return "Options not available until WPG2 Plugin is Validated."

See the above comments: raise your PHP memory limit until it works.

Thanks for the tip, but that's what I've already tried. I increased my PHP-Memory from 32 MB (standard) up to 128 MB but it didn't make a change.

Where is your Gallery2 installed?

I seen this "return "Options not available until WPG2 Plugin is Validated." but only when some pretty bad corruption has occurred within the Wordpress Options Table.

First and simple trick, Deactivate the WPG2 Plugin and reactive, this will clear the various WP options and re-establish them from backups.

It's installed on a subdomain: http://galerie.roehe.de

That's what I've done several times. I even deleted the files and uploaded new ones. But all of it didn't make a change.

- Follow-URL
- Gravatar
- o24-clean-umlauts
- runPHP
- Search Everything
- Search Hilite
- Secure and Accessible PHP Contact Form
- Smart Update Pinger
- Spam Karma 2
- Tag Managing Thing
- Title Grabber
- Ultimate Google Analytics
- Update Monitor
- WordPress Reports
- wp-online-status
- WP Flickr Post Bar
- WPG2
Everything is up to date... guessing any incompatibilities?

OK I would start with all the plugins turned off and see if you can get into the WPG2 options then. We have had a few reports of other plugin's not playing nicely..

I turned off everything and activated wpg2 as the only plugin with the same result as described above. Your tip gave me some hope again but didn't make a change...

OK, so I can see your blog is at http://www.roehe.de/daniel/ and your gallery is at http://galerie.roehe.de. On the WPG2 Paths tab, what does it show for "Gallery2 File Path:"?

I've seen a similar error when the host was using a strange way of redirecting subdomains to the actual physical path, so I'm wondering if the physical path for your Gallery2 installation is correct.

The file path is: /srv/www/vhosts/roehe.de/subdomains/galerie/httpdocs/
I will ask my host if he uses a way to redirect.

When you ask, make sure that you ask if that is the actual physical path for php "include" and "require" calls. The other time I saw something like this, the physical path was something different and php had to have the actual physical address, not the redirected address.

Thanks for your detailed tips, but my host doesn't use any redirect or symlinks. I even gave him an administrative account for my wordpress installation but he didn't find any obvious mistakes or misconfiguration either.

Can you make me a temporary WP admin account and PM me the username and password. I don't doubt anything you've said, but sometimes when I'm stumped like this, it helps to poke around myself.

Hi roehe, did you ever figure out your problem with this?

I am experiencing the same problem...

BTW... where exactly is the .haccess file that needs to be edited? in the root? or within gallery2 folder?

Thanks! David

edit: I just added a php.ini file to my plugins folder, and the blank screen is gone; when I hit view though, it gives me an error... The plugin has validated though, something still seems funky!

UPDATE 4-28-08: Finally got it working after trying the Beta 3.0.5 and also the .htaccess file add on found here: http://www.thecodecave.com/article206 - Now it's time to work on customizing the site again!

joshcali,

Unfortunately Blank Validation screens are something we cannot resolve as they are a server environmental issue not a WPG2 issue. Please start with the tips and suggestions in this thread.. I have closed your other thread as you have repeated this posting..

Hi Ozreg.
I already tried the other tips.

First, my memory limit is already set to 32
I have no plugins, it's a clean wordpress install
none of the other issues apply which is why I started a new thread.

can anyone help me?

Sorry but I am pretty busy right now trying to get 3.05 out of the door and just do not have the time to spend on this issue until I get 3.05 out the door,
