Plugin works really well even on WP 6.8.1

by ulyssesnz·8 months ago

Hi Dan,

I have been using the Document Gallery plugin for many years and swear by it. It has also been working really well on WP version 6.8.1 with PHP version 7.4.33

Unfortunately when my hosting provider updated to PHP ver 8.3.22, the plugin produced a critical error on the website.

Current setup

WordPress version 6.8.1
Active theme: Total (version 2.1.93)
Current plugin: Document Gallery (version 4.4.3) PHP version 8.3.22

Error Details

An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 6 of the file /home/ibexind/public_html/wp-content/plugins/document-gallery/inc/class-gallery.php. Error message: Uncaught Error: Class “DG_Gallery” not found in /home/ibexind/public_html/wp-content/plugins/document-gallery/inc/class-gallery.php:6
Stack trace: 0 /home/ibexind/public_html/wp-content/plugins/document-gallery/admin/tabs/general-tab.php(10): include_once() 1 /home/ibexind/public_html/wp-content/plugins/document-gallery/admin/class-admin.php(202): dg_register_settings() 2 /home/ibexind/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): DG_Admin::registerSettings() 3 /home/ibexind/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters() 4 /home/ibexind/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action() 5 /home/ibexind/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php(176): do_action() 6 /home/ibexind/public_html/wp-admin/options-general.php(10): require_once(‘/home/ibexind/p…’) 7 {main} thrown

I had to deactivate the plugin to get the site operational.

Can you advise which PHP version is the plugin compatible with?

Thanks

Works fine on WP 6.5.4

by Marc Lafay·1 year ago

Although some administration functions are missing, this plugin is operational on recent versions of WP. I haven’t found the equivalent elsewhere, so it’s a shame it’s not being maintained.

Not working

After 1 hour, I give up. I couldn’t find a way to show the shortcode.

Totally Busted
