• We are in the process of upgrading an older WP website and just tried to upgrade from an older version of the plugin (3.2) to the latest version. The website is now running on the latest version of WP and PHP 5.6.
    When we updated the plugin there was a problem and the admin part of the website no longer worked. We had to delete the plugin from the plugin directory to be able to log in again.
    Are there are known issues with upgrading from version 3.2 to the current version?

  • Hi there @sailpilot,

    Thanks for reaching out, I will be more than happy to help here! 😀

    Can you please verify for me what other plugins you do have installed within your WordPress environment in order for me to be able to replicate this on my end under your same conditions and find out an absolute solution for this?

    Best,

    Hi @andressharethis.

    We have many plugins and are in the process of updating them to the latest versions this is how we ran into this problem. Your plugin was the first we tried to update.

    The current plugins include Askimet, All in one SEO pak, Contact Form7, Easy Fancy Box, Google XML Sitemaps, Hungryfeed, Iframe, Nextscripts: Social Network Auto-Poster, PHP Exec, Powie’s Random Post shortcode, Quick page/Post redirect, Really Simple Captcha, Relevanssi, WP Regex Replace, Youtube Channel Gallery.

    I’m not sure if some of these still exist or are available on the WP plugin page. We may have to find other plugins to replace them if they are not up to date. But that is another issue.

    On another note. I did a search on the plugin page for your plugin by keying “Simple Share Buttons Adder” but your plugin does not appear. The only way I could get to it is from the admin page on our website when I click on the “view the new version details” link under your plugin. Why is this?

    This issue is still not resolved.

    When using the latest version of the plugin with the latest version of WP the plugin fails and generates the following errors:

    Error Details
    =============
    An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 317 of the file /home/xxxx/public_html/mysite/wp-content/plugins/simple-share-buttons-adder/php/class-database.php. Error message: Uncaught Error: Unsupported operand types in /home/xxxx/public_html/mysite/wp-content/plugins/simple-share-buttons-adder/php/class-database.php:317

    #5 /home/xxxx/public_html/mysite/wp-admin/menu.php(309): require_once('/home/xxxx
    

    once this happens you can not get into the admin part of the website without deleting the plugin directory.

    There is also another issue. We upgrade our site to a secure site (https) and noticed that there appears to be a security issue with the Pinterest button on version 3.2 It is blocked by security on the browsers.
