Support » Fixing WordPress » Does the plugin activation order matter ? blank admin issue

  • Hi,

    I have a blank admin issue connected with plugins, but it does not seem logical to me (this message is very long, cause I’ve tried to be as accurate as possible) :

    I used to have the following plugins installed, and working fine together for months (I’m using a custom theme based on Subtleflux) :
    Maintenance_mode
    Wordpress_breadcrumbs
    Flash-video-player
    improved-include-page
    My_Page_Order
    google-sitemap-generator
    wp-realtime-sitemap
    contact-form-7
    Nextgen Gallery

    One day, without my having added or changed anything, the admin page went blank.

    I did the plugin-deactivating-and-reactivating-one-by-one thing, and Netxgen_Gallery appeared to be the culprit.
    I changed themes, choosing TwentyTen : same issue.

    Question 1 : why does it happen at a moment when no change has been made ? How come a plugin works fine, and then does not anymore ?

    Eveything works ok without NG Gallery. But then I tried to see with plugin had problems with NG Gallery :

    Test 1 :
    Maintenance_mode
    + Nextgen_gallery –> ok
    + flash_video_player –> ok
    + Google XML Sitemaps –> ok
    + improved_include_page –> admin gets blank

    Test 2 :
    Maintenance_mode
    + improved_include_page —> ok
    + Nextgen_gallery –> ok
    + Google XML Sitemaps –> ok
    + flash_video_player –> admin gets blank

    test 3 :
    Maintenance_mode
    + improved_include_page –> ok
    + flash_video_player –> ok
    + Nextgen_gallery –> ok
    + Google XML Sitemaps –> admin gets blank

    Test 4 :
    Maintenance_mode
    + Google XML Sitemaps –> ok
    + Nextgen_gallery –> ok
    + flash_video_player –> ok
    + improved_include_page –> admin gets blank

    It’s never the same plugin that makes everything go wrong. Could it be not a plugin compatibility issue, but something else ?

    Test 5 :
    Maintenance_mode
    + Google XML Sitemaps –> ok
    + Nextgen_gallery –> ok
    + flash_video_player –> ok
    + WordPress Breadcrumbs –> admin gets blank

    Test 6 :
    Maintenance_mode
    + Google XML Sitemaps –> ok
    + flash_video_player –> ok
    + WordPress Breadcrumbs –> ok
    + improved_include_page –> ok
    + My_Page_Order –> ok
    + revision_control –> ok

    Question 2 : What can I do to solve this problem AND keep NG Gallery ?

    Question 3 : I’ve been looking for plugins doing the same as NG Gallery (ie image galleries and slideshows), but could not find any that was doing all this in a simple way.

    Besides, some gallery plugins I’ve been trying cause the same blank admin problem as NG Gallery
    –> Question 4 : what else could I try to see if there’s a problem somewhere else ?

    It’s been days, and I’m more lost as ever. Have you got any ideas please ?

    Corinne
