fGallery Issues? WP-Forum Issues?

February 7, 2007 · Posted in Uncategorized · 19 Comments 

Well some of you who have new blogs using Wordpress 2.1+ might have run into a small little problem when trying to use Fredrik’s cool plug-ins. So here’s something you can do if you get that stupid error

*dbname*.wp_fim_cat’ doesn’t exist

fGallery Fix

WPForum Fix

Just download the one you need and run the SQL query from in phpmyadmin.

To give you some background on what’s going on here’s my take on it… basically the tables needed to store the data for the plug-ins isn’t being created. So to make it work, simply create the table manually.

That’s all hope you can enjoy using his plug-ins like how I have been!

*UPDATE*

Some people have had some other issues with their install after applying the needed SQL queries, so here’s some instructions on how to fix it.

Option 1

  1. Create a second install of wordpress on a sub-domain
  2. Make sure to install worpdress 2.0 NOT 2.1
  3. Once WP2.0 is installed proceed to install WP Froums
  4. Once WP Forums is installed copy over the directory to your existing WP-Forums install.

Option 2

  1. Create a second install of wordpress on a sub-domain
  2. Make sure to install wordpress 2.0 NOT 2.1
  3. Migrate your existing site (file uploads, themes, plug-ins (exclusive of WPForum files), and SQL tables (exclusive of WPForum tables) ONLY)
  4. Install WP-Forums
  5. Then run the WP 2.1 Upgrade
  6. Re-migrate your entire site this time inclusive of the WP files

Though Option 2 is a bit more lengthy I prefer it…

***UPDATE 2****

Thanks to Tomsn who has come up with a simple fix to this. Now it’s not completley ready; however, it will get rid of the nasty errors.
How to fix you ask? Well again two options:

Option 1 (use this if you have not installed WP-Forums)

  1. Download WPForum Fix
  2. Download Patched WP Forum 1.74
  3. Install Patch WP Forum 1.74
  4. Run the WP Forum Fix SQL Query from phpmyadmin

Option 2 (use this if you have installed WP-Forums already)

  1. Download  WP Forum SQL Patch
  2. Download WP Forum Patched File
  3. Unzip the forum-function.php, and replace the existing forum-function.php with this one.

Now there is remains one issue still that will hopefully be fixed soon which is after applying this patch on some databases if a user posts a posts it’ll automatically become a sticky. I myself have not looked into this so I don’t even know where to begin. If you do experience this, please voice them in the forum.
