mycroft1854,
The incorrect settings links on other plugins should be fixed by following the instructions in my first post, earlier in the thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailchimp-plugin-v125-settings-corruption#post-2365374
Jason_lane, thanks for your answer. I should have mentioned in my previous post that I had tried the solution you posted 4 days ago but it didn’t work for me.
@jason_lane – I’ve also deleted the MC plugin completely but am still unable to access the settings for other plugins (related to social profiles). I’ve even tried uninstalling THOSE plugins and trying new/different ones, but the new ones have the same problem, even with the MC plugin gone. Since the plugin is gone, I can’t really fix the code for it, right? And I’m not clear on some of the other pointers listed above. What do we do if we just don’t want to have the MC plugin anymore, period?
@Jason-Lane, I double what @wordchef said… Even with the MC plugin gone, I still can’t access the settings of other plugins. Thank you so much for you help…
mycroft and wordchef, it seems very strange that the MC plugin is affecting other plugins after being de-activated. I would normally say that’s impossible. Did you actually delete the MC plugin? And the ‘Settings’ links of other plugins are still trying to go to the MC options page? Can you provide more details of the problem, and of your WP install?
We understand this can be a little confusing as the MailChimp plugin is erroneously adding an extra “settings” link to every plugin, which we are working to resolve.
Please keep in mind two things:
1) If a plugin has 2 “settings” links, one of those links will still work. You can also edit the plugin from the “Settings” menu on the left side of the admin.
2) If a plugin has 1 “settings” link, which disappears when the MailChimp plugin is deactivated, it means that plugin does not normally have a “settings” link and can be edited through another menu. We recommend contacting the plugin’s vendor for support on how to edit that plugin.
If you do see a plugin which is supposed to have a “settings” link and does not because of the MailChimp plugin, please let us know the name of the plugin and we’ll investigate the issue.
Eep eep!
jason_lane – your solution actually removes the ‘settings’ option from all of my plugins.
mc_van – your option 2 is not correct – all my plugins have one settings option, that all point to mailchimp. If I deactivate mailchimp it removes the settings option from (nearly) all of the other plugins. I know these plugins DO normally have settings links as I’ve been using them for a long time.
🙁
adamlightspeed, perhaps you’re mistaken about those plugins having their own settings links. In my experience, while many plugins have a settings link added to the menu, the majority don’t add a settings link to the plugins table. With a quick look at a couple of my WP installations, only about 20-25% of the plugins have their own settings link in the plugins table.
hmmmm maybe I am, I’ll check some more.
mc_van,
Thanks for your reply. However, it’s been a week and it’s still not fixed. Any news on when you expect a version update? Until then, I’m sticking with MailChimp 1.2.4.
Hey there wpsecuritylock!
Unfortunately we don’t have an ETA just yet. However, as soon as we do catch a word from the devs, we’ll be happy to pass that information along!
In the meantime, if we can help with anything else, give us a shout.
Cheers
I have the same issue, and now I cannot even run my e-commerce site. I have this error
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /hermes/bosweb/web113/b1137/ipw.calypso/public_html/DesignYourDreamLife/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp/mailchimp.php on line 1189
» -50:No more than 10 simultaneous connections allowed.
So all my blogs have no mailing list subscription, and I cannot get my membership site to work (as this is a part of the full process, that people will sign up and then will gain access to my material).
When will this be fixed?
I will try to revert back to 1.2.4, but I am feeling that this is a big issue, and it is costing me a lot of time and potential clients and reputation at this time!
Thanks for fixing this as soon as possible.
Thank you, wishing you a great day!
Hi there,
I was having the same “Settings” wrong link issue on my site.
As I ended up not using MailChimp I’d would like to get rid of it.
Unfortunately, when I Deactivated it all my plugins settings links have disappeared.
Changing the code on mailchimp.php, re-activating MailChimp or reverting to version 1.2.4 hasn’t fixed this new issue.
What can I do?
Kind regards.
Jose
Hey Jose!
The activity that you’re describing generally means that those plugins don’t have a “settings” link of their own. For example. the standard “Hello Dolly” plugin that most WordPress setups come with doesn’t contain a “settings” link at all. However, when the MailChimp plugin is activated, it adds a MailChimp “settings” link to that plugin. When deactivated, it disappears.
What we’d recommend is to test these plugins in a fresh WordPress install (or with a local install, if possible) to double-check.
If we can assist with anything else, let us know!
Cheers
