Hi Eric.

Sounds like a plugin has clobbered the theme, meaning there is conflicting code interfering with normal functions.

I have multiple sliders in Mikmag 2.0 and they work perfectly on heavily customized pages.

What version of WP are you using?

You may want to consider deactivating all plugins and you will find operation is restored. If operation is not restored, something else is creating the problem. Hopefully that is not the case. Reactivate plugins one at a time to find the one misbehaving.

Mikmag is rock solid and well written, a true powerhouse. Watch those funky plugins offering to brush your teeth while you code. More times than enough they are the culprit generating designer/developer pain. 😉

Share your findings so we can help.

Have a great day 🙂

Hi Eric. Let me get back to you July 11.

Hi Eric.

When did the back end stop working?

Do you recall what you were doing around the time it locked up? Retrace your steps up to the time you noticed the back end locked up.

Something has introduced code conflict, in other words a plugin broke your site. With plugins, although they are deactivated, they may still have data in the db causing conflict. If you have an idea of what the offending plugin may be deactivate and delete it, thereby hopefully removing its instructions from the db.

You may want to consider backing up your wp_options.sql and exporting your settings via xml using the WordPress import export function, then reset your db and start fresh by importing your settings.

If you installed WP 3.6 beta then experienced conflict then returned to WP 3.52 by coping the files, the problem will persist due to the db structure changes.

My favourite is http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-database-reset/ which I use a lot. Plugins are not created equal. WP is beautifully complex. Mikmag is rock solid.

Let me know how your findings.

Hi Eric, glad to know you are operational.

You are welcome!

Be awesome… 🙂

Hi James,

maybe you could help me aswell, I have experienced the same problem as Eric, the slider works on the frontpage, but i can’t edit the slider in the back end. When I go to mikmag –> sliders it displays a list of the sliders. When I click edit only a bar with a link “add slide” appears. The “add slide” link doesn’t work either.

I deactivated all plugins and removed them. I dont know what to do next? Can you help me?

thanks! Michael

Hi Michiel,

What version of Mikmag are you running?
