   Hi Byron,

   My url is http://www.sapnamagazine.com. (However the page where I'm trying to use your plugin is a draft, so you can't see it right now.)

   Your plugin is EXACTLY what we need for our model search page, where we wish to encourage potential models to upload their portfolios. It's perfect!

   However, I have tried and TRIED but I can't get the plugin to work. First I upgraded to WP 2.9 because I thought that was the problem. I've uninstalled and reinstalled at least 4 times. The add photo link shows up on the page, the thickbox works fine, upload link fine, everything seems fine...

   Until I go into Photo Manager and there are no images to retrieve. I've uploaded images 3 times and they are not registering in the Photo Manager. I even updated the upload params to allow 'anybody', even though I was logged in as admin while I was trying to upload. No success.

   Since I'm running a public magazine site, uninstalling all of my plugins and/ or changing my theme is not an option. I'm really hoping you can point me in the right direction... I'd much rather use your plugin than anything else!

   I would really appreciate a reply as quick as you can. :)

   Thanks,
   Mar

   Update: I've downgraded back to wp 2.6 because 2.9 was messing with my WPAds plugin.

   Hi Kamalm,

   I don't think PhotoSmash will work with version prior to 2.8 - but that is probably not the only problem you're having. I will take a look later today to see if I see any other issues.

   That said, I would highly recommend you upgrade to at least version 2.8. There is a bug in WP 2.7 and before that lets a hacker set up a User account that is an Admin account. They even use some javascript to hide the user from the list if you view your admin users. But you can tell by looking at the count of admin users and if it is higher than the number of admins shown, you've been hacked.

   This is well documented throughout on the web. I had a site that I was holding back from the upgrade because of a plugin, and it got hacked...I didn't figure anybody would even bother to hack that little site. They inserted a PHP file that did some malicious stuff. It's a very real security risk.

   I'll let you know if I see anything that would be a problem with PhotoSmash once I've taken a look.

   One thing that has caused these sorts of problems for people in the past was that their settings for "Store uploads in this folder" can get out of whack.

   Go in to Admin/ Settings / Miscellaneous...and reset "Store uploads in this folder" back to default.

   That just might fix it.
   Cheers,
   Byron

   Hi Byron,

   Thanks so much for your response! 2 points:

   (1) The photosmash plugin was not working with either 2.9 or 2.6, so that's not the problem. I'll reset the setting you suggested and see if that helps.

   (2) Thanks for the tip about upgrading. Do you know where I could download WP version 2.7 or 2.8? It would be cool if one of those worked with my WPAds plugin. Can't find those versions online.

   I found the earlier versions! But I think I'm just going to upgrade to 2.9 and see if I can somehow manage my plugin compatibilities.

   Okay, complete update:

   I am now running WP 2.9.
   I reset my "Store uploads in this folder" to default.

   Still the same problem :(

   Bummer...I'll have a look tonight.

   Glad you're on 2.9. That could have caused headaches for you down the road.

   Kamal,

   I looked, but didn't see anything obvious.

   Can you send me an email through: http://smashly.net/contact/ ?

   We can discuss further.
