In reply to: Empty "plugins" box on admin dashboard after internet cut1. Nope, I didn’t say that, let me quote: “After having a brief internet blackout thanks to my ISP[…]”. Which is the same as unplugging my router. How ‘brief blackout’ translates to ‘severe issues’ I don’t know.
2. No one else is having this problem? How do you know? Are you the almighty Flying Spaguetti Monster? 😀
Then again, I could browse the rss just fine in a browser. That’s one bold reason to, if not rule out the ISP thing, just be cautious about the advice you give. I was sure this was WP’s fault, but another user would go around in circles.
But again, thanks for trying to help, I appreciate it!

In reply to: Empty "plugins" box on admin dashboard after internet cutEsmi,
I don’t wanna sound rude, I really don’t, and I appreciate you being so quick answering my posts, so please don’t take this the wrong way: If you don’t have any idea about this, how can you say that whatever it is, it is specific to my ISP? Even if I was a newbie on these matters, I’m giving you the proof that my ISP can’t be the culprit, since I can browse directly to the RSS. Do you think that helps users?
Now. I returned to phpMyAdmin and deleted every entry in the options table that began with ‘_transient’, since I understand that those were cached files. This thread here gave me the idea. And there it is, it was that. WP had cached the empty box when I had no internet.
So yes, as it turns out, WP does ‘remember’ internet outages, in a way.
I’ll mark this topic as resolved and hope it helps any users that face the same problem!

In reply to: Empty "plugins" box on admin dashboard after internet cutEsmi, then why do I get the rss just fine in my browser when pointing at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rss/browse/popular and http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rss/browse/new?
Just curious 🙂

In reply to: Empty "plugins" box on admin dashboard after internet cutOk, so now I can browse the rss/browse/popular ones in a browser, but getting back to wp-admin after clearing caches… still not there. Not only that, there’s only just one ‘new’ plugin whose description gets cut off and that’s it. Getting back to rss/browse/new I can see that this one plugin is not new, so again it isn’t refreshing.
I think this is a cache issue with WP… I can browse those pages in a regular browser, so I don’t think this has anything to do with my ISP…

In reply to: Empty "plugins" box on admin dashboard after internet cutThanks esmi, this is getting weirder every minute.
Tried to browse directly in a cache-emptied firefox browser to: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rss/browse/popular
I get nothing.
With Chrome I get this:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. <!-- generator="bbPress/1.1" --> <rss xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" version="2.0"> <channel> <title>WordPress Plugins » View: Most Popular</title> <link> http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/browse/popular/ </link> <description>WordPress Plugins » View: Most Popular</description> <language>en-US</language> <pubDate>Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:27:39 +0000</pubDate> <generator>http://bbpress.org/?v=1.1</generator> <atom:link href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rss/view/popular" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/> </channel> </rss> <!-- cached -->Then, went to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rss/browse/new
And that one loads and shows me the new plugins.
Back to my admin dashboard, I get no popular plugins, but I do get the new ones.
Does that <!– cached –> thing at the end of the popular ones rss snippet means it’s actually wordpress.org preventing me from getting an updated list? Could anyone go to the popular plugins rss page and tell me if something shows up?
So weird!

In reply to: Empty "plugins" box on admin dashboard after internet cutThank you esmi, but this is happening locally, on a xampp server. It worked perfectly before my ISP left me without internet for a couple hours… it’s just as if WP ‘remembers’ that it couldn’t access the rss during that time and it’s not updating it. Just tried copying /wp-admin again from the wordpress installation .zip, issue persists.
