Hack for SmugMug for WordPress plugin crashing WP when API down

I have the SmugMug for WordPress plugin installed and noticed my entire site wouldn’t load at all when the SmugMug API couldn’t be accessed due to overloading. I was able to make a fix so that my site at least loads, though the SmugMug API warnings still show at the top. I couldn’t finish this hack/fix because SmugMug came back up while I working so the problem went away.

File to edit:
/smugmug-for-wordpress/classes/models/wordpress/activation.php

Line 47 was:

$service_url = $this->getServiceUrl();

Change 47 to:

$service_url = '';
$service_url = $this->getServiceUrl();

Line 86 was:

$this->wp_galleries->itemTable( $galleries );

Change 86 to:

$this->wp_galleries->itemTable( $galleries = array() );

Line 165 was:

public function setDefault() {

Change 165 to:

public function setDefault($service_url = '') {
    if( $service_url == '' ) return;

That’s as far as I got before SmugMug came back up and I couldn’t replicate the problem any more. But I did have my site up (sort of). It was just posting a few lines of SmugMug api read-only error 99 codes.

Hope this helps somebody.
