@jimgasperini – regarding your access control observation, this is by design. As long as the folder you’re applying the All/Anonymous access to states (All/Anonymous) next to the folder name after you’ve clicked Save Changes, then that’s correct. (I hope that makes sense.)

Hi David – the solution that helped Bhuvnesh was as follows:

(Only try this if you’re comfortable making changes to the database. You might also want to take a database backup of the WordPress database before you start too.)

In the wp_options table, try locating and deleting the row that has an option_name of “bex_dropbox_token” (and “bex_dropbox_temp_token” if that exists as well). This is the Dropbox authentication token and it may be corrupted somehow, especially if you’ve tried switching Dropbox accounts.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Bhuvnesh,

Thanks for your feedback. I’ve not run across this exact problem before but it sounds like there was some sort of issue authenticating the plugin with Dropbox.

Try the following to reset the plugin so you can try authenticating again:

Go to the settings page for Blighty Explorer.

Go the browser address bar and add &bex_reset=1 to the end of the URL

You will end up with something like:
http://********/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=blighty-explorer-plugin&bex_reset=1

Press Enter.

That should reset the plugin allowing you to then authenticate with Dropbox again. Be sure to allow the app authorisation with Dropbox when prompted.

Let me know how that goes.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi – thanks for your feedback and question.

The plugin is still working well on my development installation.

I can think of two possibilities that may be causing what you’re seeing:

1. The plugin has a caching mechanism which maintains the folder structure from Dropbox for 60 seconds. If you displayed the page, added a subfolder and then refreshed the page within 60 seconds, you wouldn’t see the new subfolder. Do you see it now?

2. Your Dropbox client may not be running, has been paused, or may have frozen. Is Dropbox syncing to the web, i.e. can you see your subfolder on Dropbox’s website?

Let me know what you find. I’m happy to research further if this doesn’t help.

Thanks!

Chris

Thanks for your question. I’m not fully sure I track with how you tried to change the link to your client’s dropbox, but this may work:

Go to the settings page for Blighty Explorer (you’ll may get the error message you’ve mentioned).

Go the browser address bar and add &bex_reset=1 to the end of the URL

You will end up with something like:
http://********/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=blighty-explorer-plugin&bex_reset=1

Press Enter.

That should reset the plugin allowing you to then authenticate with Dropbox again using your client’s Dropbox account details to allow the app authorisation.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Marion

If you can provide the Dutch translations here – I can then incorporate them into the plugin.

As long as your WordPress installation is set to Dutch (nl) the plugin will then translate the front-end text accordingly.

Dank je!

Chris

I’ve noticed a few issues with the WordPress Plugins repository this morning (it seems to be delayed). Can you please delete the plugin and then add it new again?

Looks like I didn’t quite do the localisation correctly. I’ll need to push an update. It’s my first time with this. I’ll update this later when I have it working.
