1. Gregg F | June 5, 2007,

   I just installed the WPPA Plugin on a WordPress v2.2. I created an album and uploaded pics, then created a page and inserted code. The album page works, the photo display works, but when clicking on an individual photo I get this error:

2. Adam C. | June 5, 2007,

   Hi there, love the plugin.
   My only issue was when I had was when I clicked on a thumbnail in the album view I got an error pointing to an undefined function in plugins/wpaa/theme/wpaa_theme.php on line 40.
   That line reads: `“>” alt=”" class=”big” />`

   I changed it to: `“>” alt=”" class=”big” />‘

   I just changed the PHP function in the anchor tag. Now everything seems to work fine. Did I miss something in the install that made it throw that error?

3. Adam C. | June 5, 2007,

   Whoops, sorry… I wrapped the code in backticks because I’m stupid.

   I won’t bother reposting the code, but my site threw an error because it couldn’t find the wppa_full_url function. I changed it to wpaa_photo_url and it worked fine.

4. LobsterMan | June 5, 2007,

   Adam: I fixed the error, many sleepless night got to me and I created a duplicate function. After removing the duplicate function, I forgot to change the call.

   Gregg: What error did you get? if it’s the same problem that Adam had, just download the plugin again, it will be fixed.

5. LobsterMan | June 5, 2007,

   Adam: I really like the way you set up the plugin and the lightbox integration. I put allot of time and effort in making this plugin themeable, I’m glad someone found it useful

   Hello !
   First of all : thanks for making such a great and simple plugins to manage photos ! I’m always looking for something else but with yours I’m sure to stay

   But I do have the same problem as Gregg. It doesn’t display an error, it just show a page with the name of the photo but don’t show it. I’m clueless :/

   Sincerly,
   Mary

   Can I have the link to your site?
   When did you download it? you should re download the newest version, it’s fixed now.

    Got this error when I tried to create an album in the photo tab any thoughts?

    WordPress database error: [Field 'main_photo' doesn't have a default value]

14. wncmacs | June 6, 2007,

    I’ve installed the plugin into my WordPress 2.2 blog and activated it, plus I created an uploads folder in the wp-content folder, but I don’t have an “albums” tab in WordPress where I can make an album and test things out. What else do I need to do?

15. Gregg F | June 6, 2007,

    Another strange thing… When I enter a description for an album it writes the text over the top of the decription in the header of the default page. Rather than down in the box next to the photo. Isit something I am doing wrong?

16. Idan | June 6, 2007,

    I’m using 2.1
    thanks

17. LobsterMan | June 6, 2007,

    wncmacs: The Photos tab is a sub tab under the “Manage” tab in the WordPress admin

18. Mary | June 6, 2007,

    Hello !

    I re download the plugin. Now working like a charm !
    Thanks again for your nice work

19. Jake | June 6, 2007,

    This is an awesomely simple set-up… only question I have -

    Any way to add captions? This is clutch.

20. Jake | June 6, 2007,

    Oops – obviously you have captions on your photos. Any elucidation on how to recreate this?

21. LobsterMan | June 6, 2007,

    Jake: Once you’ve uploaded the photos, go to the manage albums tab and click edit album, you will be able to change the names of the photos and add descriptions

22. David | June 7, 2007,

29. Tim | June 12, 2007,

    Awesome. Very simple to use yet functional and very well integrated within WP. I have been looking for something like this for a while. Thanks!

30. james | June 12, 2007,

    Fantastic, it uploads the images but there are no thumbnails in my directory. Was it supposed to generate those or do you need to upload your own? Or am I doing something wrong?

31. LobsterMan | June 13, 2007,

    It should generate the thumbnails (in a directory called thumbs) you might want to check the file permissions on your server.

32. Rocabola | June 13, 2007,

    Hello… i´ve installed the “WP lightbox JS” plugin in my wordpress, and want to know how to integrate it into the WPPA.
    The idea is to show the image cliking the thumbails…

    This is a great plugin… thanks!!

33. james | June 13, 2007,

    Still no luck, and every file and directory in wp-content in is set to 777, I swear!

34. LobsterMan | June 13, 2007,

    James: that is super-weird. I have no explanation for that, and it works fine in all my test environments, so I don’t even see how I can do bug hunting.

35. james | June 13, 2007,

    I know, I seem to be the only one with trouble. It is evidently a permissions problem as you say. If I can figure out why it is unable to write to the directory in my case, I’ll let you know. Thanks!

36. Lara | June 14, 2007,

    Hi there! Great plugin

    I’m having one small problem though. The plugin seems to fail to make the thumbnails All permissions set to 777 even. I think this is the same problem as James

37. Lara | June 14, 2007,

    Also, after I attempt to upload, the screen goes blank although it has finished loading.

40. james | June 15, 2007,

    My server apparently doesn’t have the GD extension loaded for PHP. Could this be the issue in my case? Do the image functions for thumbnails in the plugin require it?

    A script I ran using Gd Info to test the GD library said the GD extension wasn’t loaded.

41. Shamus | June 16, 2007,

    I can also join the group of people who can’t get the thumbnails to autocreate. I have set permissions to 777 and chown’ed to the web user account. I’m not given any error.

42. Shamus | June 16, 2007,

43. Shamus | June 16, 2007,

    OK – all good now. I’m running WordPress 2.1.3 on Ubuntu Feisty. There is some issue experienced with the thumbnail process with the version or the install of the GD library packaged with Ubuntu. I haven’t read through all the details yet but I re-installed with

    sudo apt-get install php5-gd

    and restarted Apache.

    Thanks for this awsome plugin.

    Just want to know if there is an easy way to allow access for authors to be able to manage the album.

    Have not been able to find it. Any help would be appreciated.

47. David Lee | June 19, 2007,

    After the images are uploaded, I immediately got this error message:

    Warning: getimagesize(/tmp/phpLTMZ6p) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /…some..directory…/wp-content/plugins/wppa/wppa.php on line 626

48. LobsterMan | June 19, 2007,

    The function uses built in WordPress image resizing function. It probably requires the GD extension, So I guess it won’t work if GD isn’t installed on your server.

    Hi
    it is simple as possible

    I’ve found out that if I view a single photo this photo is a link like a thumbnail.

    But it makes no sense for me to view a single photo as a link?

    How can I modify this?

    Hi there! Great plugin

66. Robert | June 25, 2007,

    The plugin is great, exactly what I need. But I can’t get it to work. I get the following error:

    “Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.”

    So I think it has something to do with the PHP Safemode. On my server it is on. I can’t turn it off, because my site is hosted on a shared server.

68. Ormonster | June 26, 2007,

    This is awesome. Just what I was looking for. I do have 1 question. Is it possible to change the order of the photos in their albums? thanks for creating this.

69. LobsterMan | June 26, 2007,

    Ormonster: Sorry, that’s not an option yet.

70. Ragewind | June 26, 2007,

    I love this plug-in, it does what I want and it isn’t hard to setup.

    However, I got the shame question as Ormonster. It seems the photo’s are just randomly placed (I got a album with img1, img4, img3, img2) and for some albums I really would like an order, since they can tell some sort of story in the right order.

    I browsed through the php files but couldn’t find something fast to sort it..is this something you can help with or does this come in a patch? If you could simply sort the image by name it would help really a lot.

    Sorry for the long story, al with al it’s a great plugin!

71. Paolo | June 26, 2007,

    Hy
    I’ve installed the plugin and done everithing as in the guide.
    Plugin installed with succes but i’m not able to visualize the page “photo album” that apperars in the main page (sidebar).

    Since that moment also the “about” page is impossible to view.
    Everything i select in the sidebar, don’ t work…
    Always remain in the main page.

    So what’s happened?
    What i should do?

    Tahnks.

    Nice plugin, but one more feature needed.

In example, it could be like %%wppa$album_name%% or %%wppa$album_id%%, and i get an exact album. And it coud have this tag %%wppa$album_name$photo_name%%, and i get exact photo.

    This is a lovely plug-in. Having worked through some crashes (which have been reported by others) I can now set up an album without too much problems.
    I can upload and label.
    But the second, third and fourth album directly from tabs? that is giving me fits.
    i.e. to the pages have the correct album number there has to be a modification beyond %%wppa%%
    advice appreciated.

    One more suggestion: It would be nice to have an ability, to maximize picture while managing albums. For example, I want to check the picture quality and then choose to delete it or not, so i have to go to site, check picture, then come back and delete I need.

81. miriya | July 3, 2007,

82. Stephen | July 3, 2007,

    I installed WPPA but have problems with database errors. We’re running WP 1.5.2 and I’ve installed the WPPA folder in the /wp_content/plugins folder and activated it. When I click the WP Manage tab I now see a link labeled Photos. When I click the link to Photos to add an album I see the Manage Photos tab and the error:

    WordPress database error: [Table 'pronet.wppa_albums' doesn't exist]
    SELECT * FROM wppa_albums

    I tried manually creating the ALBUM_TABLE and PHOTO_TABLE tables but still no joy.

    Do you have any suggestions? The rest of WP has no problems accessing tables in the database.

    Thanks,
    Stephen

83. Keith | July 5, 2007,

    I’m having trouble with getting this to work, whenever I modify a setting or upload a picture the plug-in takes me to a blank page (showing the WordPress admin menu on top, but the bottom part, where the plug-in info and stuff should be is blank). I’m running WordPress version 2.0.4, could this be the problem?

84. petej | July 6, 2007,

    Thanks for a great plug-in. Like others, my one big wish is that I could rearrange pictures in an album, and that it wouldn’t place the pictures in an album in a seemingly random way. Otherwise excellent!

90. Holly | July 11, 2007,

    Ok, bright people out there, how do I get mulitple albums with the correct pictures on each page?

    As far as ordering the photos go, mine seemed to come up in the same order each time, so I manually renumbered them through my FTP interface.

91. Mike | July 12, 2007,

    Thanks for creating such a useful plugin.

    Regarding the problem with thumbnails, I had the same problem and was unable to change the permissions on the uploads/wppa directory so the solution was:

    1) Delete auto generated wppa directory
    2) Create new wppa directory manually and CHMOD to 777

    This overcame the problems and the plugin works like a charm.

    I’m with Belzebubas on this one. I’d like a way to specify which album I’d like to be displayed on a specific page rather than just a generic Gallery page. (see comment #73).

    Is this possibly to do with the current plugin or is it something you’re looking to implement in future versions?

92. webmaster | July 13, 2007,

    Thanks a lot. We have tested it in wordpress-mu-1.2.3-2.2.1 and works fine. We have made some improves:

95. Todd | July 16, 2007,

    This is going back to James’ post on 12-June-2007 with reference to the thumbnails not being generated after uploading photos (echoed by Shamus and Lara thereafter).

    I had the same experience myself and my hosting provider advised me that they did not support the GD extension on their windows platform (which is necessary for the thumbnail generation to execute). I knew that they were running PHP version 4.3.3 and found some information at this site [ http://www.libgd.org/FAQ_PHP ].

    This is what I was able to do to resolve this issue for myself:

    It appears that PHP version 4.3.x includes it’s own version of GD bundled with each release.

    To activate the use of these GD extensions, I created a file at the root directory of my web server titled ‘php.ini’ and placed the following two (2) lines of code within it:

    =====================================

    extension_dir = “./extensions”
    extension=php_gd2.dll

    =====================================

    These two (2) lines of code enabled me to utilize the GD extensions on my web server and allowed the WPPA plugin to create the thumbnail images without issue.

    I hope this information may help others out who may be experiencing this, as well.

     The error:

     This happens first of all if there is no album created in the admin.

     It then happens again if you navigate to a created album that has no images in.

     Perhaps a simple if and else statement could used ie:

     if

     ‘photos/gallery are there then display’

     else

     ‘show no images message’

     obviously that needs code though lol.

     After doing quite a lot of research, it seems that your plug-in is the best out there, but having installed it, I get this error message:

     [Table 'db211998137.wp_wppa_albums' doesn't exist]
     SELECT * FROM wp_wppa_albums

     All the functions are there, but I am guessing that this is some sort of database error, but I’m not sure how to remedy it – can you help?

     Thanks!

     Seems like you need SAFE MODE: OFF to use this plugin, or am I missing something?

     Any workaround for it to work when server has Safe Mode ON?

     Just started fidling with this plugin, although in eksplorer 7 it looks a bit different, but I guess eksplorer just is stupid.

     Anyway my question is: is it possible to have multiple albums, one set of album for each category, like f.eks.:

     Photo Gallery
     On this page there is going to be picture from my journey…

     Australia

     Album 1

     Album 2

     New Zealand

     Album 1

     Album 2

     And so on. I mean, is it possible to insert text between the albums, so they could kind of be categorized?

     Regards

     Dorte

     Thanks for a great script. I have been looking for such a simple one for a long time. Perfect.

     It would be wonderful if the pictures could be sorted so that the oldest taken pictures is the first one. Can I do it and how?

115. Livia | August 7, 2007,

     Hi,
     first of all thanks for that great plugin.

     I don’t know if I’m too stupid, but I have a problem. I am using permalinks in my blog – if this could be important.

     The album page works, but when you click on a link to view one of the albums, it only changes the thumbnail and nothing else happens….

     What do I do wrong?

     Thanks a lot for your help!

     Best regards,

     Livia

116. Livia | August 7, 2007,

     Ok… biiiiiiiiig shame on me…. sorry

     One should never try to view an album on a page that wasn’t published yet….

     *blush*

     It all works perfectly fine

     Thanks a lot!

117. rene | August 7, 2007,

     when i upload large files +1MB the upload stops, i get a blank screen, and the result is that there is no thumbnail, sometimes there is no larger photo as defined in the plugin, but the full-size image is there
     what can cause this problem ?
     my host provider ? wordpress configuration files ? ….

118. Elze Kool | August 14, 2007,

     Hi, i looked at your script and I’ve done some modifications that other people my like.

     – Modification 1 – Error uploading files with quotes –

     In the function ‘wppa_upload_photos()’ add the following
     line before the ‘INSERT’ query:

     $file['name'] = mysql_escape_string($file['name']);

     Reason: PHP adds quotes to $_POST and $_GET variables to protect against SQL insert hacks but doesn’t do this with filenames. This is a SECURITY HOLE in this case.

     – Modification 2 – Display specific photo in posts–

     in the function ‘wppa_albums_filter($post)’

     Add the following before the return function:

     if (substr_count($post, ‘%%wppa_foto%%’) > 0) {
     $id_start = strpos($post,’%%wppa_foto%%’,0);
     $id_length = strpos($post,’%%’,$id_start+13)-$id_start;

     $id = substr($post,$id_start+13,$id_length-13);
     $replacestring = substr($post,$id_start,$id_length+2);

     global $wpdb;
     $image = $wpdb->get_row(“SELECT * FROM ” . PHOTO_TABLE . ” WHERE id={$id} LIMIT 0,1″, ‘ARRAY_A’);
     $imgurl = get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’) . ‘/wp-content/uploads/wppa/thumbs/’ . $image['id'] . ‘.’ . $image['ext'];

     $link = get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’).”?page_id=5&album=”.$image['album'];

     $post = str_replace($replacestring, ““, $post);
     }

     Edit the link for your personal setup. In my case the photo page is page number 5.

     Good luck and thanks for this great plugin!

120. Mark | August 17, 2007,

     The plugin doesn’t create tables on WPMU if you’re using the Plugin Manager because that manager is missing some code. In the PM code, find the activate and deactivate routines and right before the line that says “Done!” add this:

     add to activate_plugin function:

     
do_action('activate_' . $plugin);


     and this to the deactivate_plugin function:

     
do_action('deactivate_' . $plugin);


     Then go to the PM admin interface, deactivate and reactivate the WPPA plugin globally.

     That should do it!

     First, many blessing on your house for this wonderful plugin. It worked first crack. It even withstood my hacking with it for a client.

     I looked at all of the other solutions, plugins, programs and this was the only one that could easily accommodate the simple presentation my client wanted within her development budget and her skill level to maintain.

     Second, the donation will be posted as soon as the client’s check arrives; I included it in the invoice.

     Third, I’m trying to make one edit that doesn’t seem to work. My client would like the album description to appear on the thumbnails “page” instead of the albums’ page. For some reason, even though I’ve moved the description code to the thumbnails section of the wppa_theme.php, I can’t get the description to appear. Any tips or suggestions, anyone?

131. LobsterMan | August 28, 2007,

     I’m afraid it won’t work the way the plugin is set up now. In the next version, the tags will be more universal.

132. George Jenson | September 2, 2007,

     I just setup a blog for good friends traveling around the world. They wanted a random photo on the sidebar. It links to their gallery, which is Page 25. All that is needed is this code in theh Sidebar template, I put it after the widgets all display:

     <li>
     <h2>Random Shot</h2>
     <ul><li><center><?php
     $dir = opendir(“wp-content/uploads/wppa/thumbs/”);
     $stack = array();
     while ($fname = readdir($dir)) {
     if (@getimagesize(“wp-content/uploads/wppa/thumbs/$fname”)) {
     array_push($stack,$fname);
     }
     }
     $x = array_rand($stack);
     echo “<a href=\”?page_id=25\”>
     <img src=\”wp-content/uploads/wppa/thumbs/” . $stack[$x] . “\”>
     </a></center></li></ul>”;
     ?>
     </li>

133. TR | September 2, 2007,

     Hi there, thanks for the wonderful plugin. I’ve found it integrates into my site absolutely beautifully.

     Just a quick question. I want users to be able to upload photos and create albums, but those who are set to Editor permission rather than Administrator. Is there a way to enable this with this plugin, or must the user be set to Administrator?

134. George Jenson | September 4, 2007,

     A better version of the random shot. Now links directly to the random image and includes a count. Put this before or after the widgets if you are using them:

     <li>
     <h2>Random Shot</h2>
     <ul>
     <li><center>
     <?php

     $image = $wpdb->get_row(“SELECT * FROM ” . $wpdb->prefix
     . ‘wppa_photos’ . ” ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 0,1″,’ARRAY_A’);

     $cnt = $wpdb->get_row(“SELECT count(*) as cnt FROM ”
     . $wpdb->prefix . ‘wppa_photos’, ‘ARRAY_A’);

     $ilink = “?page_id=25&album=” . $image['album']
     . “&photo=” . $image['id'];

     echo “<a href=\”$ilink\”><img src=\”wp-content/uploads/wppa/thumbs/”
     . $image['id'] . “.” . $image['ext'] . “\”><br>1 of ”
     . $cnt['cnt'] . ” photos in the gallery.</a>”;

     ?>
     </center>
     </li>
     </ul>
     </li>

     Thanks

137. Harry | September 11, 2007,

     I was extremely happy with this plugin until I realized it does a SEPARATE QUERY for EVERY SINGLE picture in the gallery.

     This means that if you have 70 pictures in a gallery your page will make 70 (!!) queries to the database!

     Basically for those who don’t know what that means, the minute your site gets any significant amount of traffic, you resource and memory use will go through the roof, your site’s performance will break, and if you’re on a shared server, your account wil most likely get shut down.

     A single wordpress page on average should be making around 10-20 queries to the database. The blog I tried this plugin out on makes 8-12 queries per page, except on gallery pages where it makes 70-200+ queries per gallery. Unacceptable.

     Please let me know if you decide to improve this plugin to where it gets all its picture info on one single query (which should be exceedingly simple to do).

For instance, say I have 1 album right now. I want to add a second album, but I don’t want it to show up with the first one (this happened using the %%wppa%% code). I want to make a separate post and reference the 2nd album.

     But…I have a problem with the plugin!
     I uploaded it into my plugin directory and it appeard in my plugin window.

     After activation the option appeard in my manage-screen, but when I click on the “photo’s” button I get an error in the screen saying:

     WordPress database error: [Table '1231_officecentre.wp_wppa_albums' doesn't exist]
     SELECT * FROM wp_wppa_albums

     I thought it was an error refering to the fact that there was no album created yet. So I made an albun, but after clicking “Create Album!” I get the following error:

     WordPress database error: [Table '1231_officecentre.wp_wppa_albums' doesn't exist]
     INSERT INTO wp_wppa_albums (id, name, description, a_order) VALUES (0, ‘Efteling’, ‘Uitstapje naar de efteling’, ’1′)

     Next I was thinking…owh, maybe a problem with the photogalery page. After following the manual I get the error’s shown on the following page: http://officecentre.bastiaanfranssen.nl/?page_id=7

     Can you help me with this plugin? Because it would be very cool to have this plugin on my site.

     John C — the error message is reflecting the fact that your photos are not properly uploading. From Rubin’s Read Me:

     “Make sure that the folder wp-content/uploads/ exists and is writable by the server (CHMOD 755)”

     Within that folder, you should see a folder called “wppa”

     Within that, you’ll see your uploaded images and another folder called “thumbs” which should mirror the image file names of its parent folder.

     Do you have a folder called “wppa”? Does it contain images?

     The plugin works great. I was hoping to use it for a family site to allow many users to upload albums. For the sake of making it easier on everyone, I have all of the users set as “authors” so as to avoid any “unnecessary” permissions

     Is there any way to make the plugin available to the author-level user? It seems to take more than just changing the level of the user in the wppa.php file. I could comb the entire php but if someone knows a quick answer, it would be appreciated.

     Hi,

     I installed the plugin and set everything as mentioned, last step was the activation under the plugins-tab. In point 4. you wrote: “Create at least one album in the albums tab”.

     I cannot find this tab! Am I totally stupid? HELP ME plz!

177. Sproke :0) | January 2, 2008,

     Hi there.
     I was wondering if there was any way to get the plugin to view photos that have already been uploaded. I don’t want to re-upload all of my photos to get them into this gallery.

178. Joel | January 3, 2008,

     This plugin is great. Just a couple questions/suggestions:

     - Is it possible to call specific albums on different pages? For example, all my Taiwan 2006 albums on one page, with Tianjin 2007 on a separate page? I have so many albums that I can’t list them all on the same page; it would be forever long and just keep growing.

     - reversing the chronological order of the albums (so the newest is at the top) would nice.

     - having comments for each album, or better yet each photo, would really blow my socks off.

     Thanks. I’ll start using this asap as soon as I figure out how to call specific albums on separate pages.

179. Adam | January 4, 2008,

     Aside from ordering the ids in the database, is there any way to order the photos in the albums?

180. mira | January 6, 2008,

     Hi there,
     Thanks for your plugin. I use it since a few months now and everything was working just fine,but now I get randomly this sort of message when I upload images:
     Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2000 bytes) in /home/…/wp-content/plugins/wppa/wppa.php on line 710
     I checked the file sizes- they are no bigger than usual…
     I also upgraded to WP 2.3.2 a few days ago. Could it be a compatibility issue? Thanks for your help

     Hi everyone. I’ve went around the SAFE MODE problem by using CHMOD 6777 on the wppa folder, the uploads folder, and the wppa folder in uploads aswell as the thumb folder. What CHMOD 6777 does is that it sets the same UID and GID for the folders. And then SAFE MODE has no problem doesn’t complain. The CHMOD 6777 also gives all other permissions exact sticky.

     I didn’t even know that SAFE MODE could be worked around this easy, but know do you know my wordpress wppa photo album is working perfectly

     Hope you guys can do the same, and a little tip: If you need a proper FTP Client that can set this CHMOD (some are restricted), you can download SmartFTP from http://www.smartftp.com/. Gets the job done.

184. Julie | January 13, 2008,

     I have the same issue, mira. The WP 2.3.2 upgrade page, here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Plugin_Compatibility/2.3

     list WP-Photo v1.0 as non-working/no longer compatible.

     I’m hoping there are plans to upgrade the plugin.

185. Harl | January 19, 2008,

     Hi
     I love WPPA.
     A couple options I am looking for.
     First, what can I change so the order of the albums as they appears on the page is currently additions on the top?

     Second,
     Bulk uploading, or the ability to select one than one file at a time? ( ie control- click each file to upload)

     Thanks

     thx

192. Jason Cole | February 1, 2008,

     phil: try reseting permissions on the folder (this can usually be done from a command-click or right-click menu).

193. Philipp | February 4, 2008,

     Hi!

     I set up lightbox with the gallery, but i need a string that gives me a link to the big picture!
     somehow, just gives me
     wp-content/uploads/wppa/
     …i don’t know why, cause if there is no lighbox enabled, and the picture is viewed single, this string just works to give the hyperlink to the image….
     i hope u understand my problem.!

     Thanks, Phil!

194. Philipp | February 4, 2008,

     was the string i tried, it wasnt shown in my last post!

     without the _ before the ? of course

195. Philipp | February 4, 2008,

     didnt work either
     it was “wppa_photo_url();”

196. Andy | February 4, 2008,

     Has this issue been addressed by the plugin author?
     I’d love to use it as its the best gallery I’ve found, but the potential for problems down the track worry me a little!

     Quote:
     Harry | September 11, 2007,

     I was extremely happy with this plugin until I realized it does a SEPARATE QUERY for EVERY SINGLE picture in the gallery.

     This means that if you have 70 pictures in a gallery your page will make 70 (!!) queries to the database!

     Basically for those who don’t know what that means, the minute your site gets any significant amount of traffic, you resource and memory use will go through the roof, your site’s performance will break, and if you’re on a shared server, your account wil most likely get shut down.

     A single wordpress page on average should be making around 10-20 queries to the database. The blog I tried this plugin out on makes 8-12 queries per page, except on gallery pages where it makes 70-200+ queries per gallery. Unacceptable.

     Please let me know if you decide to improve this plugin to where it gets all its picture info on one single query (which should be exceedingly simple to do).

197. Philipp | February 4, 2008,

     i did write him a mail, didn’t get an answer yet…iwas hoping i could get an answer her.

     but the weird thing is the following:

     if it is the single pic to be displayed, the string works…doesnt work for my purpose, though!

198. ondamaris | February 7, 2008,

     Plugin seems to have installed and activated without a problem but I can’t get it to create an album. I go to the manage->photo section. Type in an album name and get the message that the album has been created but it doesn’t show up in my album list. Using WordPress v 2.3.3

201. joeie | February 10, 2008,

     I regret to report the same issue as Matt and joeie. WP 2.3.3, WPPA 1.1. Fresh install of WP, nothing on it that could cause problems. /uploads created and chmoded appropriately. WPPA activated and appears to work fine. Can’t create albums. Or rather, I do it, but after success of operation, nothing shows.

207. LobsterMan | February 12, 2008,

     I’ve been reading the reports of this issue, but It works fine on my test server, so I’m not sure how to fix it. Are they any error messages? can you check the database to see if the tables wp_wppa_albums and wp_wppa_photos exist?

208. keith | February 12, 2008,

     I had two problems getting wppa working:
     - I’ve little experience with WP, so maybe it should have been obvious, but I copied the “wp-photo-album” folder to my plugins, then I shunted “trunk” up one level, and finally renamed the folder “wppa” before I was able to get gpoing with the plugin

     - I had the same problem as the others above – though the “Album created” message came up, another message said ” no albums”, and the list was empty.
     PHP log said there was a database error:
     “Field ‘main_photo’ doesn’t have a default value for query INSERT INTO wp_wppa_albums (id, name, description, a_order) VALUES (0, ‘asjnckasjcn’, ‘kjnkjnkjnkjn’, ’2′)”
     So I poked around in PHPMyAdmin and gave that field a random string as a value. Creation of albums then started working. Yippee!

     By the way, there’s a typo: “Edit Ablum Information” (as a former editor, it leapt out at me)

     This plugin looks just right for a club site I’m helping with – thank you for making it.

209. Tracey | February 13, 2008,

     Hi,

     If the tables are supposed to be created in the same place as wp_users, wp_posts and other assorted WordPress things, then no – not showing up at all.

     Is it possible to try inserting the two tables manually? What should I type in the number of fields?

     Otherwise, what else should I try?

     Thanks!

210. MCS | February 13, 2008,

     Hey, I’m trying to get your WPPA plugin up and running to have albums for each of our news issues. I have no problem creating an album, but when I go to upload a photo, nothing happens. I’ve added:

     ini_set(‘memory_limit’,’64M’);

     to the top of your php file (just to be safe), and I don’t believe it to be a MySql error (running 4.1.20) because the album itself is showing up in the database. It seems to be an upload bug, but I recieve no errors, no warnings, wp-content/uploads/ is 0775, uploads/wppa is 0775, any ideas?

211. Noah | February 13, 2008,

     I would like to know the same thing. I have no tables either.

212. Tracey | February 14, 2008,

     Follow-up –
     I followed the first step that Keith detailed above (renaming folders), and it seems to be working fine, on my localhost. I’ll try the live site after work tonight.

     Cheers to you Rubin, and thanks to Keith!

213. Greg Tangey | February 14, 2008,

     Hey guys, had the same issue detailed above and found the tables and options, etc. weren’t being added. Basically the wppa_setup function wasn’t running.

     Did a small bit of research and adjusted the code registering this function (the add_action on line 27) needed to be adjusted to register_activation_hook( __FILE__, ‘wppa_setup’ ); once doing this, the photo album set itself up correctly without any issues.

214. yon | February 14, 2008,

     I have installed WPPA but have one problem: I do not see the thambs in the album page, only the big image after pressing the link.
     How can I fix it?
     I installd the WP 2.3.3.

215. Siz | February 14, 2008,

     I have the same problem, no albums being added. I think Greg had the solution above, but i don’t understand the code? register_activation_hook( __FILE__, ‘wppa_setup’) what file is “____file____”???

     mine said, add_action(‘activate_wppa/wppa.php’, ‘wppa_setup’)

     I tried just replacing the add_action, but nothing happened.

     When adding it to my plugin folder, I had to bring the wppa.php out of the trunk folder into the main folder for the plugin to show up to activate. After that i can only see the manage photo tab and do nothing with it.

216. Tracey | February 15, 2008,

     WPPA is up and running now, I love it. Thanks again.

     But – because I can’t leave well enough alone – I really want to get it working with a lightbox plugin. I’ve installed everything, and added ‘rel=”lightbox”‘ to the appropriate tag in wppa_theme.php, but all I get when I click a thumbnail is the lightbox loading animation spinning around… no photo ever appears.

     I’m a PHP-dork too, so I know very little about how to potentially fix this. Suggestions welcome!

217. Matt | February 15, 2008,

     I renamed the directory for WPPA to “wppa” like mentioned above and not it works fine. I am having an issue with the wppa_photo_url(); tag though. Instead of returning the full url for the image it only returns a link to “/wp-content/uploads/.”

218. Matt | February 15, 2008,

     Let me clarify a bit what I am trying to do. I’m changing the theme so I can use highslide instead of linking to the image page. So I’m trying to alter the link in this section of the theme.

     <a href=”" class=”img”><img src=”" alt=”*” />

     In other words, you should have /wp-content/plugins/wppa/.

     Alias /blog /usr/share/wordpress

     Options FollowSymLinks
     AllowOverride Limit Options FileInfo
     DirectoryIndex index.php

     Then you go to it with http://yourwebpage/blog

     That should fix so the webserver can right to the folder.

268. Nicolás | March 9, 2008,

     strange, I’m having the same problem..
     maybe a problem of compatibility with the last WP version?

269. Alan Cherwinski | March 11, 2008,

     Simple problems with the installations instructions.
     The current zip file contains a root folder called “Trunk”. The contents of the Trunk folder, and not the Trunk folder itself are what you need to upload to the pluggin directory. Also the instruction refer to the “wppa” folder. The zip file decompressses to a folder called “wp-photo-album”.

     Ed – Jeykuzey – Naneja – Nicolas.

     The folder -trunk- has to be renamed to -wppa- (without -)This worked for me – and some other guys further up in this thread.

275. Steve | March 14, 2008,

     Hi,

     I’ve noticed that the issue I am going to raise has already been brought up a few times but it does not seem to get an answer.

     This plugin is great and what I am after, but while the comments under the main collection of Photo Galleries is nice – it repeats the same comments under any single Gallery and also under individual photos – I don’t understand how this would be useful as comments would instantly become confusing and useless when they are not related to the subject you are viewing.

     So, can someone please explain if this plugin/theme handles separated comment collections for Main Gallery area, Single Gallery, Single Photo? – or at least comments under the individual photo (disabling comments under the Galelries).

     Hope this is clear! Cheers and this is a great looking plugin/theme!

     Steve.

278. Brian | March 16, 2008,

     I had the same problem listed above with the phantom album creation.

     Rename the plugin directory to “wppa”

     Ex. /wp-content/plugins/wppa/

     When tryign to create large albums it’d be helpful to be able to just upload a zip file with the images. Is there a way to do this instead of specifying individual images each time?

279. dinivian | March 17, 2008,

     I have a problem css in firefox browser. When i open album page on firefox browser, the css box (div) that contains list of album photo is not displayed correctly. The box consist of 3 parts, head-center-bottom. And the %%wppa%% put in center. The problem is the center part that contains wppa doesn’t displayed correctly. It just displayed head and bottom, but center cannot automatically drop down (height) as well as list album photo are displayed.
     It doesn’t matter in I.E or Opera browser.
     Is there any css hack to solve this problem

282. Barry | March 17, 2008,

     I was using version 1.0 and my site got hacked!

     They modified wppa.php and did a sql injection. It redirected my site elsewhere and my admin password didn’t work.

     Fortunately they didn’t delete the db so I got control of my site back and the content was intact.

     I just installed version 1.1 and everything is working again. Let’s hope I don’t get hacked again.

     I think I learned something the hard way today but it could have been much worse!

     Rubin nice plugin.

283. Don | March 17, 2008,

     @Ed, Nicholas, Jeykuzey, naneja,
     I had the same problem, and had to rename the plugin directory from wp-photo-album to wppa and it worked for me then. You’ll have to re-activate the plugin after doing this.

     After installation wppa is unable to generate the galleries.

286. Aaron | March 19, 2008,

     I’ve just downloaded and installed the plugin and can’t create albums either. It says it was created but there are no albums. Where is that info supposed to be stored? By creating a folder under uploads? guess I could walk through the code to find out, but I thought it might be quicker to get an answer here. Thanks for any help you can give.

287. Aaron | March 19, 2008,

     I have the plugin working now after manually creating the missing db tables. For some reason the setup isn’t being called properly. I didn’t have time to figure it out, but I just thought I would post to let you know. thks.

288. 2lip | March 20, 2008,

     I had the same issue, where I was told that the database table for the albums did not exist. I then renamed the plugin folder to ‘wppa’ and made sure that the wp-content/uploads/wppa folder existed. after that I deactivated the plugin and re-activated it again.

     voila, now I can create albums and upload fotos.

     great plugin, Rubin!!!

     Creating an album in 2.5 brings up a page that says “Do you want to do this?” And that’s it. Nothing but white space after that without any other call to action. No “yes” or “no” button, link or otherwise.

     any ideas?

     Any way to re-order photos within an album once they’ve been uploaded yet?

     Also, is it possible to have an album within an album – ie. i have a number of related albums, and want to group them all together under an umbrella album and preserve the location of the initial albums (and the links to them).

     Cheers

     For everyone getting errors like:
     —–
     WordPress database error: [Field ‘main_photo’ doesn’t have a default value]
     INSERT INTO wp_wppa_albums (id, name, description, a_order) VALUES (0, ‘test’, ‘test 2?, ‘3?)
     —–
     in the Manage|Photo tab …

     In the plugin editor page (the file is wppa.php)
     Replace the following line:
     add_action(‘activate_wppa/wppa.php’, ‘wppa_setup’);

     With this one:
     register_activation_hook( __FILE__, ‘wppa_setup’ );

     Then de-activate the activate the plug in.

     All should be well.

     any ideas anyone???

311. geoffm | April 13, 2008,

     I’ve had the same problem. Basically, it doesn’t work with 2.5. Also, another major problem (for me) is that the order in which photos are displayed seems to be pretty random, and not related to file name, order of upload, or anything (this applies to 1.1 too). And so this plug in is not suitable at all for a gallery where order is important. I’ve abandoned it, and found a different solution. A shame, because, apart from these problems, the plug in was good.

312. Frisbee Fodder | April 15, 2008,

     Great plugin on <2.5 but, as many have reported above it’s not very WP 2.5 friendly. I had a look into it to see what needed to be updated but alas.

313. Alexei | April 16, 2008,

     Hello!
     I installed WPPA on WP 2.3.3 and I can’t create any album. I mean I get the message saying that a new album has been created, but there aren’t any albums there and, of course, when I try to upload a picture it says I have to create an album first. Any ideas?

314. Alexei | April 16, 2008,

     Ok, I think I found out why: the plug-in didn’t install any tables in the database, so I had to do that manually.

     Also you have an error on line 806:
     include_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/wppa/theme/wppa_theme.php');
     should be
     include_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/wp-photo-album/theme/wppa_theme.php');

315. Alexei | April 17, 2008,

     Another thing: wppa_sep() doesn’t return the right separator, so maybe the test is not right.
     I don’t really know how WP works so I can’t tell if these are WP or WPPA bugs.

316. Greg Tangey | April 18, 2008,

     The “Are you sure you want to do this?” issue, is caused by the nonce check function on line 21. Why the author has re-created the function i don’t know, but basically the function doesnt allow the passing of the name, yet he passes a name in the check_admin_referrer.

     In short, all you have to do is add the ability for the wppa_nonce_field function to accept name like this..

     function wppa_nonce_field($action = -1,$name = ‘wppa-update-check’) { return wp_nonce_field($action,$name); }

     and the problem should go away.

317. Ramiro | April 19, 2008,

     The problem is in the program /wp-inculdes/function.php
     At the function “function wp_explain_nonce($action)”, on line 1338 of WP 2.5
     WordPress new version cant solve this IF on the program, as:
     if ( $action !== -1 && preg_match(‘/([a-z]+)-([a-z]+)(_(.+))?/’, $action, $matches
     Because there are no action to do with this question:
     $trans['edit']['plugin'] = array(__(‘Are you sure you want to edit this plugin file: "%s"?’), ‘use_id’);
     $trans['activate']['plugin'] = array(__(‘Are you sure you want to activate this plugin: "%s"?’), ‘use_id’);
     $trans['deactivate']['plugin'] = array(__(‘Are you sure you want to deactivate this plugin: "%s"?’), ‘use_id’);
     WPPA isnt capable to inform to WordPres version 2.5 that he (wppa plugin) is activated.
     Like this, the program function.php goes to the
     elseif function.

     However, I cant to modify wppa program called /wp-content/plugins/wppa/wppa.php

     This program, wppa.php calls wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php’

     I think that there are a security problem for that WordPress is closed by now.

     I will appreciate some comments about.
     Thanks.

     I was able to get album creation to work by manually creating the wp_wppa_album table in MySQL, then I had to manually create the wp_wppa_album table. Now I can upload images, but they don’t resize. Is there any codeing that I can change to get this to work? (XP-Pro server, WordPress 2.5, WPPA V2.1.4)

     - im going to see my database
     - none of the “wp_wppa_albums” and “wp_wppa_photos” tables were created….
     good luck and thank you for sharing

330. Costas | April 26, 2008,

     i was using this plugin and after long time and no reply i am using the Laziest photo album.

331. McFerg | April 26, 2008,

     I wanted to relate some of my experiences with 2.5. I was finally able to get it working, but I had to do a few things to get there.

     One thing that wasn’t totally clear from the installation instructions was exactly which directory to place into the wp-content/plugins directory. When I unzipped the files, there was a file underneath the root called “trunk”. THIS is the folder that needed to go into the plugins directory, BUT, it needed to be renamed to wp-photo-album, as that’s the path the scripts expect.

     The second thing was that I had to fix a line of code in the wppa.php file. One line 28, the line should look like this:

     register_activation_hook( __FILE__, ‘wppa_setup’ );

     However, when I first unzipped it, the ‘wppa_setup’ had some garbage extra characters on it. If yours looks like this, it should be fine.

     After this I was able to successfully activate the plugin (if you already activated it, deactivate it and reactivate it), and the tables got created in my database.

     The tables, though, were created wppa_albums and wppa_photos, but I found out later, that wppa script seems to expect them to have the names wp_wppa_albums and wp_wppa_photos, so I just changed the names of the tables in the database.

     At this point, I still couldn’t create albums, which I think was a problem a number of people were having. I traced this problem down to line 528, which looks like this:

     $wpdb->query(“INSERT INTO ” . ALBUM_TABLE . ” (id, name, description, a_order) VALUES (0, ‘$name’, ‘$desc’, ‘$order’)”);

     The problem is that the main_photo field in the album table does not have a default value, so you have two choices here – you can modify the table so that it has a default value of 0, or you can just update this line 528 to insert a 0 into that field as so:

     $wpdb->query(“INSERT INTO ” . ALBUM_TABLE . ” (id, name, description, a_order, main_photo) VALUES (0, ‘$name’, ‘$desc’, ‘$order’, 0)”);

     After I did this…EVERYTHING was working except for the thumbnail creation for the photos, and I reinstalled PHP with the GD2 extension checked this time, and everything works like a charm.

     I hope this helps somebody else out.

     I want to thank Rubin for providing us w/ this fantastic tool. I was faced with the prospect of spending my weekend writing a custom content management system for someone, and between wordpress and this, I really don’t have much to do.

332. f0nz1e | April 28, 2008,

     Thanks for the update! It is working great now. One question I have is… Is it possible to have the comments more granular? I want people to comment on each album or even every photo seperatly. Right now any comment made on any album or photo is shown everywhere.

     Any Ideas?

333. ilgar mirza | April 28, 2008,

     Cool! Great! McFerg, a lot of thanks!

     But i have one more problem – problem with unicode characters in album names and. My DB is UTF-8 and a havent any unicode problems with WP. Only in this plugin

334. boris | April 29, 2008,

     Really frustrating experience. I try everything you propose, and I still have message “No albums yet.” (even manually add record in the database, change code like in comment #331, change name of the directory to wppa etc).

335. boris | April 29, 2008,

     I fail to notice this part in comment #331: “The tables, though, were created wppa_albums and wppa_photos, but I found out later, that wppa script seems to expect them to have the names wp_wppa_albums and wp_wppa_photos, so I just changed the names of the tables in the database”. After that, finally, wppa start to work.

     I would love to be able to get this plugin working with 2.5! I have tried all of the above but the tables are not being created.

     Using WP 2.5.1 with Godaddy.
     Ran the following SQL commands to get this to work

     CREATE TABLE `wp_wppa_albums` (`id` bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, `name` text NOT NULL, `description` text NOT NULL, `a_order` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL, `main_photo` bigint(20) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) );
     CREATE TABLE `wp_wppa_photos` (`id` bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, `album` bigint(20) NOT NULL, `ext` tinytext NOT NULL, `name` text NOT NULL, `description` longtext NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) );

     any fix for wp 2.5.x??

     ty

344. Mark | May 25, 2008,

     My friend and I have found the fix for this plug-in under 2.5.1. There are a multitude of unneeded quotes in the creates and some corrections in the Globals. See below.

     /* GLOBAL SETTINGS */
     //define(‘ALBUM_TABLE’, $wpdb->prefix . ‘wppa_albums’); This is wrong
     //define(‘PHOTO_TABLE’, $wpdb->prefix . ‘wppa_photos’); This is wrong
     define(‘ALBUM_TABLE’, ‘wppa_albums’);
     define(‘PHOTO_TABLE’, ‘wppa_photos’);
     define(‘PLUGIN_PATH’, ‘wp-photo-album’);

     Corrected creates

     // does the initial setup
     function wppa_setup() {
     global $wpdb;

     $create_albums = “CREATE TABLE ” . ALBUM_TABLE . ” (id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, name text NOT NULL, description text NOT NULL, a_order smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL, main_photo bigint(20) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) )”;
     $create_photos = “CREATE TABLE ” . PHOTO_TABLE . ” (id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, album bigint(20) NOT NULL, ext tinytext NOT NULL, name text NOT NULL, description longtext NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) )”;

     if($wpdb->get_var(“SHOW TABLES LIKE ‘” . ALBUM_TABLE . “‘”) != ALBUM_TABLE) {
     require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php’);
     dbDelta($create_albums);
     }

     if($wpdb->get_var(“SHOW TABLES LIKE ‘” . PHOTO_TABLE . “‘”) != PHOTO_TABLE) {
     require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php’);
     dbDelta($create_photos);
     }

     update_option(‘wppa_thumbsize’, ’130′);

     }

     I will email the author the corrected code so he can post it on the site.

     Good luck

     Mark

345. Mark | May 25, 2008,

     Just a additional comment. The single quotes in the code I pasted showed up odd in the blog. They should just be ordinary single quotes. You should do a search and replace for the funny looking single quotes for normal single quotes.

     Is it possible to have squared thumbnails? I’ve adjusted the css but now my pictures are totally unproportioned. Any ideas?

354. DDales | June 23, 2008,

     I’ve followed the instructions for the installation exactly and read all the comments posted.

     My problem is that I cannot upload any photos. When I browse for photos, choose them, then click on upload, I get no error messages.

     However, when I go to view the album, I get the following error:

     Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-photo-album/theme/wppa_theme.php on line 27

     Also, the ../thumbs directory never receives the files.
     My apache2 runs as www-data and the www-data user has rwx on the uploads directory tree. I even recursively changed the group to www-data with 775 on the ../uploads tree still with no luck.

     Any advice would be greatly appreciated because this plugin is exactly what I was looking for.

355. DDales | June 23, 2008,

     Oops, nevermind. I just realized I’m using WP 2.5.1 and Photo-Album 1.4 which apparently doesn’t work.

356. Reznix | June 30, 2008,

     Just to chime in, Photo Album 1.4 has worked fine for me on
     WordPress 2.5.1. It promises to be a very useful plugin. I followed the instructions and it was pretty straight forward. The preview page didn’t work right until I published it, but afterwards it looked good.
     Thank you for the hard work!.

     Hi LobsterMan,
     Thanks a lot for your plug-in.

     I did many changes in your plug-in for my requirements such as adding watermark while uploading images, pagination for thumbnails, pagination for albums and so on. But right now I want to change the permalink structure of this plug-in. I don’t know much about Mod_rewrite Engine.

     Currently my album image URL is “http://mydomain.com/galleries?date=06-2008&album=2&thumbpage=3&photo=4″.

     In this url, galleries the permalink for the album page, album is for album id, date is for displaying the albums of that month and year, thumbpage is for the pagination id of the thumbnails page and photo is for the image id.

     Right now I want to change this permalink structure to “http://mydomain.com/galleries/date/album/thumbpage/photo”

     Please help me to do this.

     Some commenters have asked how to give others than administrators (i.e. editors) access to wppa’s administration interface, thats actually quite simple. Change this line (about line 40 to 50 or close to that):

     add_management_page(‘WP Photo Album’, ‘Photos’, 9, ‘wppa’, ‘wppa_admin’);

     to:

     add_management_page(‘WP Photo Album’, ‘Photos’, 6, ‘wppa’, ‘wppa_admin’);

     Hi,

     Installed your awesome plugin but now when i view an album in a pge with 10 photos I click on the thumbnail of the album but nothing else happens it reloads the page woth one different main image for the album instead of opening a new page with all thumbnails

     PLEASE HELP

366. Ovidiu Purdea | July 16, 2008,

     Hello,

     I am wondering if it is possible for me to display just one of the albums and not all in some of the pages of my blog.

367. Kristian | July 21, 2008,

     I had the problem with thumbnails not show, like many others. One has to be sure to have GD activated on the server (by writing in a test.php file, and uploading it to the server. Load the test.php page in your browser, and scroll down to GD, to see if it’s enabled.) Also, make sure that the folder wp-content\uploads\ has write-permissions.

     I had GD on my server, yet the thumbnails still didn’t load. I didn’t get any error message when the photos had been uploaded, it just went to a blank page in the WP admin. The photos still showed in full display, but no thumbnail.

     I tried resizing the images, and it works! So, if you’re sure you’ve got GD enabled, but still don’t see your thumbnails, try decreasing the file size. It worked for me, after having tried all the advice above.

368. Aouni | July 24, 2008,

     Actually this is the best gallery I’ve passed by till now. Unlike other wp plugins, it’s very simple and does the job very well. However it needs a good deal of improvement which will make it the best ever. I suggest adding the following features for the next release:

     1- Support of universal languages. Arabis is showing ??? on my blog.
     2- Enable / disable lightbox.
     3- Show image “alt” on thumbnails in an album.
     4- Enable comments on every image in some way or another.

     I think these features are enough to make the revolution. Hope to find a new improved version soon, as it seems that WPPA is my only choice.

     Thans you.

369. Mark | July 24, 2008,

     I received the error:
     “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()?

     as have many others. It appears that WPPA no longer uses the prefix set in WP during setup. As such, the table names are different. This makes it look like all of your photos and albums are lost.

     To fix the issue, run the following two SQL statements (assuming your prefix is wp_):

     INSERT INTO wppa_albums SELECT * FROM wp_wppa_albums;
     INSERT INTO wppa_photos SELECT * FROM wp_wppa_photos;

     This will fix the problem. (The table schema have not changed.)

     Is there a way to rearrange the photos by title? when I upload them, they are all out of order and I can’t rearrange them to the order I want.

     The order button makes no sense.

     Sorry if this is a silly question. I’m very new to all this and have no tech knowledge at all so I’m surprised I’ve got this far!

381. Rob | August 25, 2008,

     Mark, when you received the error:
     “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()? and it appears that WPPA no longer uses the prefix set in WP during setup. As such, the table names are different. This makes it look like all of your photos and albums are lost.

     THE FIX is simply to edit your wppa.php file in the wp-photo-album directory, and change the following two lines in the /* GLOBAL SETTINGS */ section:

     NOTE the “//” at the beginning of these lines? Remove them so they look like this…
     define(‘ALBUM_TABLE’, $wpdb->prefix . ‘wppa_albums’);
     define(‘PHOTO_TABLE’, $wpdb->prefix . ‘wppa_photos’);

     AND add the “//” to these lines so they look like this…
     //define(‘ALBUM_TABLE’, ‘wppa_albums’);
     //define(‘PHOTO_TABLE’, ‘wppa_photos’);

     And you are done. It finds your old albums and works perfectly again.

All I had to do was delete the folders the plugin created (‘wppa’ and ‘/thumbs’) and create new folders with the same name and set both folder’s permissions to 777. Hope this helps anyone with similar problems.

     Solution not creating Albums:

     You will need to access your WordPress database with an administration tool such as PHPMyAdmin and change the tables ‘wppa_albums’ and ‘wppa_photos’ to ‘wp_wppa_albums’ and ‘wp_wppa_photos’. This is assuming your table prefix is ‘wp_’ if it is something else,then replace ‘wp_’ with your table prefix.

     How to rename tables in phpMyAdmin:
     Select the database that contains the table you want to edit. Then click on the “SQL” tab at the top of the page and enter the following:

     [...] WP Photo Album is a good photo album if you would like to just upload your photos directly on your server. The only problem I see with this one is this your photo files are a large size. [...]

     OK. Sounds great. May I please see some links to working examples of this in action? Maybe even your own install example?

     Hi– I love the plugin but I can’t get it to display my album to the public. I have the page set to public visibility, I have the server side WPPA folders set to read by anyone & yet, unless someone is logged in as a registered user– they are redirected away from my album page…

424. Heather | December 17, 2008,

     Sorry disregard my last post– another plugin was interfering with WP album. Thanks for a great plugin– simple & beautiful!

425. Enrico | December 17, 2008,

     Does wppa work with wordpress 2.1.3 ?
     I’m trying to create an album, but without success…
     The plugin created the two tables in database, but it seems that the plugin is not able to INSERT any data into it…
     Once I confirm the album creation, I will get a blank screen.
     Any suggestion ?
     Many thanks…Enrico

     HI! I have uploaded WPPA and done everything I have to do, but am wanting to put an album on each of the pages I already have set up, is there a way to do this? I don’t want that initial page that has a link to all the albums on it.

439. GetJef | January 23, 2009,

     Hello,

     I’m using WP v2.7, but I see that your WP Photo Album v1.5.1 is only compatible up to WP v2.6.2. When might you offer your loyal WP plugin fans a more current compatible version? I am eager for your update.

     Thank you,
     GetJef

443. Leon | February 17, 2009,

     Hey, thanks for a great addon. I do have a question though, when viewing a particular photo, if you click that photo it will go to the photograph url, I wondered if there is any way to allow clicking the photo to simply take you to the next photo in the album?

444. Neo | February 21, 2009,

     Is there or will there be an option to allow regular registered users to create and upload their own pictures through the front end (without having to go to the admin panel)?

     Hi am just trying this on my own server and am getting a HTTP 500 error – the file permissions etc are all set and it is possible to upload to the wordpress media library, and the rest of the site is working fine so I assume the MySQL is all good…but I still get the error. I am using IIS7 with the latest php. Is there anything obvious i’m missing?

     I was wondering if this plugin supports WordPress 2.7.1. The WP Plugin Directory says it only goes up to 2.6.2.

     Thanks!

449. Phil | March 13, 2009,

     My thumbnails wouldn’t work on my Hostway hosted site. I finally got it to work by contacting technical support and giving them the following email:

     “I need GD Extensions for PHP installed to view image files on my WordPress site.

     Please add support for GD image manipulation library by adding the following line of code in the php.ini file of my domain: xtension=gd.so”

     I reinstalled the program and deleted all the pictures and re-uploaded them and it worked perfectly.

     Hi LobsterMan,
     Thanks for your great plugin. I asked you earlier about permalinks issue. I did lot of work on it. Now I’ve modified your plugin to become a great one. Now we can manage the albums on months and years. We can tag the album photographs. We can group them on the tags. Also we can add the comments to the photographs.
