Support » Plugin: Widget Wrangler » Cannot change/delete Corrals if updated from 1.x versions

    If I update from 1.5 (etc.) the Corrals will not accept additions, renaming, or a deletion. Also, the Corrals becomes invisible everywhere until I create a corral that is already created. Then they all comes back — but still unable to make a change.

    I am able to fix the overall problem by deleting the plugin and reinstalling (a solution I prefer not to do).

    This was tested in WP 3.4 and 3.8.3.

    scottlowe,

    Thanks for the report. I have seen similar issues when skipping over version 1.5.4 between updates. The problem might be that the ww_sidebars option is over-serialized in the DB. I tried to correct this in 2.0.3 release, so this may not be exactly your issue.

    If you’re able to execute PHP easily on the site, you could try doing something like this to see if the problem is over-serialization:


    <?php
    $corrals = get_option('ww_sidebars');
    $corrals = maybe_unserialize($corrals);
    $corrals = maybe_unserialize($corrals); // once more to be sure
    update_option('ww_sidebars', $corrals);
    ?>

    I’ll install 1.5.1 on a site and test upgrading to 2.x to see if I can find other issues.

    I just tested 1.5.1 -> 2.0.4 and didn’t have any obvious issues. Do you have another site that needs updating that I could look at? If so, email me at my first name @ my last name .com.

    Otherwise, I’ll have to setup a 3.8.3 install with WW 1.5 to continue testing accurately.

    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    Did you ever have a chance to look into this further?

    Hi scottlowe,

    Marking this as resolved. Let me know if you continue to have issues, or if you’d like me to review a specific site or setup.

    Thanks,
    Jonathan
