    After upgrading, posts are not being found for series and are listed in the wrong order under posts.

    Tried deactivating all other plugins and activating organize-series alone, then updated permalinks, but it’s still not working.

    In fact, after activating the plugin, the first post is displayed for each series, but after updating permalinks, nothing is found.

    HELP!

  • Gal,
    Glad it’s working for you now. I appreciate you posting back here your results. No problem about “bombarding” me – I understand the pain.

    You are the second person that has mentioned noticing an empty option_value field when doing the fix. I’m not sure what’s going on here. But at least it gives me a direction to look for a more permanent fix.

    Plan B is always me monitoring communication channels for reports. This problem really came out of the blue because as I mentioned, everything worked absolutely fine in all my testing – but I’ve learned by now that my testing doesn’t always catch things lol.

    Tuscany, I’ve broken out your issue into a separate forum post to make it easier to respond and mark when it’s resolved. The new post is here -> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-report-fatal-error-cannot-redeclare-this_to_int?replies=1#post-1906416

    I am on WordPress 3.0.4. Currently using OS 2.2.8.

    1) From 2.2.7, I upgraded to 2.3 when it was available. Things did not work (404 and other errors). I installed 2.2.8. That appeared stable, more or less.
    2) When 2.3.1 appeared, I upgraded to it. I began getting PHP errors:
    Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in …/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/organize-series/orgSeries-template-tags.php on line 45

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in …/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/organize-series/orgSeries-template-tags.php on line 54

    3) So, I deactivated and downgraded back to 2.2.8. The “Manage Series” page shows each series and the total number of posts in each. However, it appears as though I’ve lost the sequence information (for each post that is a part of a series, which # part it is).

    I have activated and reactivated to no avail. I have changed the Series version in wp_options to 2.2. Nothing seems to work in bringing back the part# information in the post editor.

    In what table are these entries?

    Hi Dannoll,
    There’s been a problem with a behind the scenes import. You’ll need to do the following steps.

    1. Backup your database (very important in case you need to restore because things went wrong)
    2. Upgrade your copy of Organize Series to 2.3.1
    3. Leave it deactivated (or deactivate it if it’s activated
    4. Go into your database, in your wp_options table. Look for the row where the option_name field has org_series_version as it’s value. Then change the option_value field to 2.2. This will trick the plugin into doing the import correctly
    5. Activate Organize Series

    Everything should be fixed after following those steps. I’m not sure why 2.3.1 didn’t work for you. Your’s is the first post about it not working since it’s release. Thanks for taking the time to post what happened though 🙂
