Frequently Asked Questions
My plugin's "Extension" sub-tab has gone missing!
Symptoms
After an upgrade to 4.0.6, some admin-side plugins have their “Extension” sub-tab disappear from view, and trying to access the URL directly displays the message, “Restricted Area”.
Cause
- You need to install an updated version of the plugin or…
- The plugin in question needs to be updated.Contact the plugin author to remind them.
Below is a list of plugins with known problems, and what to do for each.
Temporary Fix
While waiting for the plugin author to update, you can fix this problem on your own site yourself.
Edit the plugin and look for the bit of code that looks like:
if (@txpinterface == 'admin') {
register_tab("extensions", "event", "tab name");
}
For each occurence of register_tab, we need to insert an extra line of code:
if (@txpinterface == 'admin') {
add_privs('event', '1'); // this line's "event" should match the one used by register_tab
register_tab("extensions", "event", "tab name");
}
