They include people who know just enough to be dangerous downloading stock templates and plugin files that very likely have at least one page of code with an extra line or two through no fault of their own and no realistic recourse. * For the record, I found the offending file on my client’s site that had an extra line at the end. But not before spending 2+ hours. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [[Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] flash stats graph not displaying](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpresscom-stats-flash-stats-graph-not-displaying/) * [jrdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrdub/) * (@jrdub) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpresscom-stats-flash-stats-graph-not-displaying/#post-1155601) * Andy, * If you revert to version 1.4 of Stats, the Flash movie runs fine, at least it did for me in two separate cases. So, it seems to be something in the plugin file itself. If as you suggest, it was a misplaced (or invisible?) character in another file affecting Flash output, the movie wouldn’t appear regardless of which version I was running. * Since Unicode is the default character set for WordPress (see wp-config-sample. php), it wouldn’t make much sense to save files as something else in most cases. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [[Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] flash stats graph not displaying](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpresscom-stats-flash-stats-graph-not-displaying/) * [jrdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrdub/) * (@jrdub) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpresscom-stats-flash-stats-graph-not-displaying/#post-1155586) * [@ithinkitsnice](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ithinkitsnice/) * Poor choice of words. Agreed: it’s a workaround. Definitely needs to be fixed. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [[Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] flash stats graph not displaying](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpresscom-stats-flash-stats-graph-not-displaying/) * [jrdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrdub/) * (@jrdub) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpresscom-stats-flash-stats-graph-not-displaying/#post-1155577) * **\*\*RESOLVED?** * Okay, I figured out that by reverting to the last version of the plugin, 1.4, it works again. I have officially confirmed on two separate WP installations ( one is 2.8 and the other is 2.8.2) that the problem is resolved by restoring version 1.4. Seems like 1.5 and WP 2.8 don’t agree. I went so far as disabling all plugins except that and using the default theme and that did not resolve the issue. It’s not a conflicting plugin or customization of the core (I have none). 1.5 works on WP 2.7 (also confirmed in two separate installations). It does not work on 2.8. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [[Plugin: WordPress.com Stats] flash stats graph not displaying](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpresscom-stats-flash-stats-graph-not-displaying/) * [jrdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrdub/) * (@jrdub) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpresscom-stats-flash-stats-graph-not-displaying/#post-1155576) * Same problem here: I can access all stats except flash movie. When I right click on it, it says “Movie not loaded”. It does this on both Safari and Firefox on Mac 10.5 and also in Windows XP IE7. It happened when I upgraded from 2.7 to 2.8.2 yesterday. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: WP Super Cache] expired pages not deleting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-wp-super-cache-pages-not-deleting/) * [jrdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrdub/) * (@jrdub) * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-wp-super-cache-pages-not-deleting/#post-896598) * Incidentally, I tried White Shadow’s [Cache Cleaner](http://w-shadow.com/blog/2008/10/22/cache-cleaner-for-wp-super-cache/) plugin, the code from which you had rolled into the latest version (0.8.4), and it works just as advertised. Unfortunately, Cache Cleaner only cleans out the Super Cache and not WP-Cache entries. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: WP Super Cache] expired pages not deleting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-wp-super-cache-pages-not-deleting/) * [jrdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrdub/) * (@jrdub) * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-wp-super-cache-pages-not-deleting/#post-896595) * I should add that I’ve already tried the suggestion above about error logging the prune_super_cache() function. I set it to email me. And the only time it does is when I either empty the cache myself or I deactivate the plugin. In other words, the pruning function isn’t running unless I made it run. I know the plugin is using WP’s cron API, but for some reason, it doesn’t seem to be working. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: WP Super Cache] expired pages not deleting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-wp-super-cache-pages-not-deleting/) * [jrdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jrdub/) * (@jrdub) * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-super-cache-wp-super-cache-pages-not-deleting/#post-896593) * Same problem here on 2.3.3. It will not take out the garbage, no matter what deletion setting I choose. I’ve even gone so far as to set the entire cache directory to 777. But I know the plugin can write to the directories because it’s making new cache entries all the time. And on mine, it won’t delete standard WP-Cache files either. So they all just pile up. What’s worse is Super Cache will just serve up the old files no matter what I set the expiration time to. It requires me to manually empty the cache. Thoughts?
