wp2.7 - stops 'screen options' persisting.

Reported by minktoast | November 19th, 2008 @ 09:38 AM

In wp2.7 beta 3 - when I have wp-omatic 1.0RC4-6 enabled, the WP admin section does not remember the new 'screen options' settings (e.g. my dashboard settings are reset when I navigate away from the page). It is definitely wp-omatic that causes this as when I disable the plugin everything is fine.

(Thanks for a great plugin.)

    • Tag set to 2.7, bug

    I haven't tested this with WordPress 2.7, but I had this issue with previous WordPress versions.

    Are you comfortable with PHPMyAdmin? I disabled the plugin, deleted the WP-o-Matic tables, and then the rows within wp_options that started with wpo_ and then re-enabled the plugin. The problem went away afterwards.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried the steps as described. Unfortunately, when I try to now re-create my campaigns, nothing is added. (Looking in the database, no tables are even created.) So it seems that the plugin does not work with 2.7. (My campaigns were still working after simply upgradeing from WP2.6 - but when installing wp-omatic fresh onto 2.7 it doesn't work.)

    I know 2.7 is only beta at this stage - but hopefully this information will prevent others from trying it on 2.7 until wp-omatic is updated.

    Thanks, minktoast. I'll try it on a clean install of WordPress 2.7 shortly - been meaning to make sure everything is compatible before making the big jump later this month.

    I hope Guillermo takes a look soon, too - he'd understand better than any of us what's going on.

    HOLD ON! Very sorry - just tried it all again... looks like I missed one wpo_ entry in the wp_options table... so I deleted that and tried again and the plugin works OK now.

    EXCEPT: I'm back to where I started and the screen options are not being remembered. So my original bug report stands....

    Perhaps you could test and confirm with a clean install flammable. Thanks again for your help.

    Ohhh, I see now. Screen Options are a new thing with 2.7 - they allow you to customize what shows on your WP Dashboard.

    Confirming, this is happening with my 2.7 beta install, too (2.7-beta3-9841). Disabling WP-o-Matic fixes the new Dashboard functionality.
