4.2.2 breaks plugin

Hi guys,

What were the main changes to 4.2.2? Something you did has broken my Featured Content Gallery plugin 🙁 I kind of need that on the main page. I’ve disabled SP for now so that FCG is back, but there’s something not right… Any ideas?

nothing that I can think of… the featured gallery content plugin is known to cause all sorts of problems with wp (unless its changed) because it uses the mootools library which conflicts with jquery…

Yeah, I know all about the problems it has but nothing else really offers what I need so I’m stuck with it for now. I keep hassling them to sort it out but I think they’ve given up on developing any newer versions.

It was working fine until I upgraded to 4.2.2, but now with the forum activated FCG dissapears 🙁 So something you changed has thrown a spanner in the works of FCG. I guess I could downgrade again, actually I think I went from 4.2 to 4.2.2 and skipped 4.2.1, so it might be a change in that update…?

Would love to get both working in harmony again as I have nothing to replace FCG with Cry

Ohh, interesting. Looks similar to FCG, what did you do to change it? How much work would be involved switching over to that? Is configuration similar etc?

I quite like Dynamic Content Gallery but the main problem with that is it updates with the latest articles all the time. I want to set which ones are featured myself. If they added a “static” option then it would solve all my problems!

Oh, and FCG is broken in WP 3.0-alpha anyway so will have to do something about it at some point if I’m going to upgrade when the time comes!

in my experience, less than 20% get it to work with any wp… if you dont use jquery on front end, it might work…

well, I changed from the mootools to js… but it does the same thing… it is not packaged as a plugin per se… its set to grab latest x posts from a specific category… but only one line change to hardcode some post ids…

Okay, thanks for the info. Going to consider my options and sort it out tomorrow, too late to start thinking about it now!

I have sent it to a couple of others… will see if I can find the package and forward it on to you… might help looking at it…

Where did you send it because I haven’t recieved any emails from you?

Yeah, I got it now, it had indeed been labelled as spam by gmail. Will take a look in a bit, thanks.

Not looked at replacing FCG just yet, but I was just wondering what code you load on a page outside the forum? I've disabled all the “Code and Query Optimizations” and something in SP is still conflicting with FCG.

I thought you only loaded stuff when it was needed? Or have a misunderstood? I just don't understand why SP would conflict with FCG on the homepage when the SP isn't used there…?
