Newsletter 3.3.7 Plugin Activation Fails with WP3.6

Resolved

(@isaac_ho)

I know this plugin is compatible up to WP3.5.2. However, I hope this report can help the development.

Install successfully.

Activate plugin fails, error message is prompted:

WordPress database error Can't DROP 'name'; check that column/key exists for query alter table wp_newsletter_emails drop column name made by activate_plugin, do_action('activate_newsletter/plugin.php'), call_user_func_array, newsletter_activate, Newsletter->upgrade, NewsletterModule->upgrade_query
WordPress database error Table 'test_office.wp_newsletter' doesn't exist for query alter table wp_newsletter convert to character set utf8 made by activate_plugin, do_action('activate_newsletter/plugin.php'), call_user_func_array, newsletter_activate, Newsletter->upgrade, NewsletterModule->upgrade_query

Delete plugin is OK.

Hope this issue will be fixed in next version.

Hi don’t worry, they are “controlled” errors, it works even on WordPress 3.6.x.

The major problem is it cannot be activated. Is there any workaround? Moreover, it sometimes added 2 tables into the WP database, but sometime 3 during the activation. It seems that the progress cannot be completed always.

Hi, I just put the plugin in a clean blog, where it was never installed, and the activation was successful.

When you activate it, doesn’t it appears as active?

Have you tried to delete the plugin and install the version from wordpress, getting it again?

I tried to install in the following 3 ways, all of them were installed in a new clean installed WP3.6:

1. uploaded an unzipped newsletter plugin folder into /wp-content/plugins/ and activate it
2. login admin panel > Plugins > Add New > Upload, selected the zip file and click upload
3. login admin panel > Plugins > Add New > search Newsletter, clicked Install Now in the search result

All of them failed with the Errors mentioned in 1st post. They didn’t appear as active after activation.

Uhm, have you the wp-debug active? That error should not be a problem.

Ah, when you install the plugin, the files are inside the newsletter folder or did you get a newsletter/trunk folder?

/wp-content/plugins/newsletter/admin.css

It’s correct… I wonder why it should not list as an active plugin. If you can send me an acess to the blog, I can try to understand.

If you want, use my email: stefano@satollo.net.

Thank you.

hi, the subscription process works perfectly, but when I subscribed I was redirect to a stranbge url. Did you set an url for the confirmation page? Or for the welcome page?

If so, remove them and be sure the url of your subscription page is set on newsletter cofiguration under the subscription steps panel.

Will the collation of the MySQL cause this issue? Mine is UTF8_general_ci on MySQL 5.6.12, Win2K3 32bit with SP1.

Hi, your php installation is set to send the error_log on display… ok it’s a bit complicated to explain and it seems the installation is a little bit out of standard.

Anyway I modified the code of the plugin in a way that the error display suppression is controlled by me and that change let the plugin to activate in your environment (you can try it on the test environment you sent me).

The patch will be included on version 3.3.9.

Stefano.
