Hello:

On page: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=gd-addons
Link remains “Get It” for addons: Compare Listings, WP All Import, and Embeddable Ratings Badge

The others, when the plugin is uploaded it shows an “Activate” label and if clicked it will at least activate the plugin , transloading would be ideal, but the activate feature is nice to confirm that the plugins you intend to activate are installed and activated.

Thank you for your time.

Also, I right clicked on Activate and opened in new tab for all of the links except one. Apparently when you open the link in a new tab, those plugins do not Activate. Not sure if this is due to a javascript conflict between tabs or what could be the issue.

Warm Regards,

Jonathan

Hello Kor:

Thank you. I have set a policy early on that I would not share the admin account level permissions with anyone outside of our company, and even then they get Editor (only my designer has received it she only touches appearance related features). I want to be fully responsible should anything go wrong.

Please confirm the bug using a dev install of WPGeoDirectory. This was a clean install and I just installed the plugins tonight. I think it should be extremely easy to duplicate.

Hello,

to use the extensions page, first deactivate and delete all addons.
then add your Membership key on the membership tab
then install addons from the extensions page

The extensions page is not retroactive, it only works for addons installed from that page.

Thanks

Hello Alex:

Thank you for your reply. I believe it let me activate one plugin from the page but I did not try to individually add them. As stated above, I opened each in a new tab which I assume set that ones status to active in the database.

However, when I activated all the plugins through the normal WordPress interface AND / OR when I installed WP Easy Updates the page updated and it shows all the Extensions now as Active (the ones I manually uploaded to plugins folder) – except the WP All Import Add Not Activating bug I mention in another thread.

So I am not sure what you mean by the extensions page is not retroactive as sofar it shows me that it is. None of my extensions were installed using the Extensions page and all now show Active(except WP All Import) that I installed. The three I mentioned here required I Believe for me to install WP Easy Updated for the system to register them as installed on Extensions page.

In my humble opinion, I believe it is a bug if your 3 addons install differently (do not show status unless WP Easy Updates is installed).

Warm Regards,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

This was due to a missing edd_slug setting for the new addons, i have added this now, the cache time is 12 hours so it should be reflected after that.

Thanks,

Hello Stiofan:

Thank you very much for your reply and for the whole teams help.

So do I need to update any plugins or settings or will this self resolve?

Warmest Regards,

Jonathan
