  • I found out a way to fix this and it is probably a generic issue with WordPress. I install WordPress as root which probably causes this problem.

    You need to change file ownership and/or permissions of the upload directory. To do this use:
    chown -R www-data:www-data uploads
    Where ‘-R’ means recursive and ‘www-data’ is the apache2 user/group.
    Also this will probably work… chmod -R 777 uploads
    …I can’t say which is best.
    beware that chmod 777 allows EVERYONE to modify these directories which on a real deployment can cause problems!
    To check the apache2 user use… ps -aux | grep apache2

    After you modify your owner/permissions, delete the flipbook you made and make a new one and use the new shortcode.

    I did this on my development server at home and it worked fine, when you deploy to a public server, check with the sys admin for correct owner/permissions.

    For more information search for errors on upload.php and similar issues on wordpress.
    Also before and after use this command to monitor file access, it will tell you what has failed.
    tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log

    GOOD LUCK πŸ™‚

    Looking at the apache.log I see the 404 errors, my browser console also shows errors accessing uploads/flipbooks directory.

    Also what does this error mean?…
    Ultimate PDF Flipbooks is unable to adjust folder permissions and might cause errors in Flipbooks Loading, Please contact your Hosting Provider or the Plugin Author for further information, about this error.

    Please advise

    Please note I am using version 3.0 of Ultimate PDF FlipBook.

    Thanks Sgarcata, I did go for S2Member and the basic version proved that it can do all that I want. I will go for the pro version because it adds regular Visa & other credit payment methods, just having PayPal is a drag because it limits the payment options.
    The pro version seems well worth it!!

    I think your answer is a cop out. IF there is something specific that the child theme will fix in the CSS then please say so but I think this is highly unlikely.

    Perhaps I should clarify.

    This is a modified twenty ten theme – http://www.yogakevala.com

    This is unmodified, except to enable multiple navigation menus – http://99.0.2.10/2010/wordpress/

    BOTH show the menu issue.

    Have you had any issues where the menu was rendered horizontally instead of vertically in IE7?

    If so I’d like to know how you fixed it.

    Well, yes & no – in this test the only modification was to header.php & functions.php, where I added relevant lines to register additional nav menus – 6 in total.

    I then created the menus and pages in the dashboard.

    So the author cannot be contacted directly – because the wordpress ‘contact us’ page says to use the forums. However if the forum does not recognise or sddress this particular theme issue – then what can I do??

    You have a good point – however I started with a fresh Twenty Ten theme and simply added menus without changing any CSS – I saw the problem immediately.

    So it looks like a CSS issue with the theme and not my changes. I’ll try to ask the theme author if there are any fixes – if so I will post them here.
