 * Hi,
 * 1. In the WP Carousel menu it has now two “External” menu items, the problem 
   is just the text, one of the “External” menu items does link to the Import form.
 * 2. On trying to change/save any carousel i get this error:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function __() in wp-content/plugins/wp-carousel/
   update_db.php on line 30

 * I have exactly the same two problems with WP 3.0 and Carousel 0.5.

 * 1. Solved in WP Carousel 0.5.1
 * 2. Solved in WP Carousel 0.5.1, but you have a problem with permissions. That
   error says that WP Carousel can’t load the file wp-blog-header.php of your blog.
 * WP Carousel 0.5.1 will be available in a few minutes.

 * About the second error, this is a problem with permissions, please, update to
   WP Carousel 0.5 and try to save changes. You’ll get an error message. That message
   will show the path to the file that WP Carousel is trying to load.
 * If the path is correct (to load the file wp-blog-header.php) check the permissions.
   This is a huge bug that has to be solved as soon as possible.
 * Thanks for report!

 * WP Carousel 0.5.1 is now online, please, update and try again.
 * Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for report!

 * Thank you, Sumolari. I uploaded to 0.5.1 and the double export and fatal error
   problems are resolved!
 * As to the file permissions, I still get this error after saving a new carousel:
 * File ../../wp-blog-header.php can’t be read!
 * Permissions on that file are 644.

 * In a few minutes WP Carousel 0.5.2 will be available. In version 0.5.2 I’ve add
   support for save without AJAX. When you get the error message, you’ll get a link
   to save changes by clicking it.
 * I hope this solve the problem.

 * [@jcollier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcollier/)
 * WP Carousel uses the following code to create the path to wp-blog-header.php:
 *     ```
       $folder = str_replace('/update_db.php', '', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
       $folder_exploded = explode('/', $folder);
       $folder_count = count($folder_exploded);
       krsort($folder_exploded);
       $folder_count--;
       unset ($folder_exploded[$folder_count]);
       $folder_count -= 2;
       $folder_path = "";
       $folder_temp = 0;
       for ($folder_temp = 0; $folder_temp < $folder_count; $folder_temp++)
       {
       $folder_path .= '../';
       }
   
       if (!is_readable($folder_path . 'wp-blog-header.php'))
       {
       // ERROR THAT YOU GET
       }
       ```
   
 * The default path to update_db.php is: WORDPRESS_ROOT/wp-content/plugins/wp-carousel,
   so if the path you get is ../../wp-blog-header.php, WP Carousel is trying to 
   load the file WORDPRESS_ROOT/wp-content/wp-blog-header.php. That file does not
   exists. The path should be ../../../wp-blog-header.php.
 * Don’t worry, I’m trying to fix this bug. Meanwhile, WP Carousel 0.5.2 offers 
   a different solution: saving the content without AJAX. You’ll see a link to save
   the content when you get the error, so click it and don’t worry.

 * Sumolari,
 * Thank you for the quick fix. Another fine reason to keep using this plugin. 🙂
 * I’m installing 0.5.2 now.
 * Meanwhile after unistalling and removing 0.5 using the WP plugin admin page, 
   i’ve looked into the database and on the wp_options table there are still wp_carousel
   entries. Like: widget_wp_carousel_widget, wp_carousel_config and wp_carousel
   
   I guess there is no problem in this data still being there…

 * Ok. version 0.5.2 and using your save method solved the problem. Great.
 * And i noticed that we can clean the wp_carousel database data with the “Uninstall”
   menu item on the WP Carousel menu. 🙂

 * Yes, you can remove all the content added by WP Carousel by uninstalling it. 
   It’s very unpleasant seeing content in your DataBase created by plugins that 
   you’ve uninstalled a lot of time ago. WP Carousel can remove its content by only
   clicking on a link. Simply and effective 🙂 .

 * 0.5.2 works for now. Thank you for the temporary fix!

 * I think this bug is completely fixed in WP Carousel 0.5.3. Please, update your
   plugin’s version to this one and try to save. You should be able to do this with
   the AJAX mode instead of with the manual link.

 * Hi Sumolari,
 * The thing is that i need to show the newest post in certain categories,
    But 
   the thing is that the plugin shows me the img but no content is being shown, 
   although i have seen a div for content and seen it in your demo page. I need 
   that it will show me the title of the post and the category name it was taken
   from, please help (if possible) And you have a very cool plugin, exactly the 
   thing i was looking for. keep up the good work.

 * Hello,
    I’m having a problem with adding a custom field for external links on
   my Wp-Carousel. I want to have the option enter in a external link in the custom
   field if needed or to not and have the images link to the post(like it does right
   now). I am not a super programmer but more of a noob. does anyone know how to
   do this?
 * here is the website. kallusive.afinekreation.com it’s mid way down and has t-
   shirts on it.
 * this plug-in is awesome!
    thank you in advance
