It looks like it might be something to do with file permissions. If I try to browse to the actual URL generating the image file I get this error:
https://union.ic.ac.uk/rag/wp-content/plugins/olimometer/thermometer.php?olimometer_id=1
Internal Server Error
File “/home/www/htdocs/presidents/rag/wp-content/plugins/olimometer/thermometer.php” is writeable by others
I’m not sure what to suggest on this as I’ve never come across it before. What web server are you using? Have you got the GD libraries enabled?
I’m having the same issue. The image is broken in the settings preview, and in the sidebar widget.
I’m using this in a multisite network, and that appears to be the problem. The image is linking to http://SubDomainNameHere.org/wp-content/plugins/olimometer/thermometer.php?olimometer_id=1 which in fact doesn’t exist, as the plugin is actually hosted at the root of the install, not in the subfolder.
Perhaps you should update the Plugin’s FAQ to indicate that it is NOT compatible with multisite?
Hi,
I’m not familiar with multi-site installations. What would the correct URL be for your installation? I’ll see if I can figure out a fix for you.
oshingler,
I’ve since moved on and don’t need the plugin, but I hate to leave you hanging knowing there is an issue.
In a multisite like mine, all of the uploads and plugins are at “http://rootdomain.com/wp-content…” Each individual child site doesn’t get their own wp-content. They share from the root install. I’ve never developed a plugin for multisite, but I’m sure there is documentation on how to call to those folders.
Hope that helps
