RC2.5 bugfixes inside.Yeah, another RC release. This time, it’s because I caught a fairly major bug with the directory-creation process when Manga+Press uploads a new comic page. Permissions aren’t being set correctly so if you do something like try to delete the files through FTP or an online file-manager (like cPanel’s File Manager), it’ll give you a rather ominous “permission denied” error. Fortunately, the fix is fairly simple—that is, if your web host allows this.
Create a PHP file and name it…something…test.php…whatever, doesn’t matter as long as you can remember what it is
Insert the following lines of code into your file:
Upload the file to your wp-content/uploads directory and then open it in your browser. The filename part may or may not be necessary; I tried it both ways and it seemed to work when I added the name of a file that was inside the directory I was trying to change. Try it without the file name first, and if you get an error; add the name of a file inside the directory and if you still get an error then try changing the permissions on the test.php file itself to 777 or 755. If you’re still getting errors, then it’s time to contact your web host and have them set the correct permissions on the folders in question.
At this point, what I want is feedback from anyone who has downloaded and is using the plugin in question. If you’ve run into errors, I’d like to know about it. If you send me a bug report, be sure to include the following:
- WordPress version (very important)
- Plugins installed (also very very important)
- Screenshots of the possible bug in question
- and, if you have access to this: Web server configuration info
- Server version and config info
- PHP version and config info
- MySQL version and config info
Look for my email address in the readme.txt file that comes with the plugin. Sorry, but I really don’t want to give spam-bots a chance to harvest my email address. You can use the contact form here if you like but you won’t be able to send screen-shots.
