We have just upgraded PageLines from 2.1.something to 2.3.8 and now all of our sites are broken. They all look as if the have no css file associated with them. In Chrome, the console screen shows this error:

 

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

 

Anyone have any ideas about how to solve this? I've attached a screenshot of an example broken site.

Open wp-config.php and enable WP_DEBUG, that will hopefully show you wat the error is, or check the server error logs.

Thanks for the quick response! I've enabled debugging on our test server ... Here's is what I get at the top of the page after disabling all plugins:

OK add under the debug line:

 

define( 'PL_NO_DYNAMIC_URL', true' );

 

All the stuff you pasted above was errors from poorly coded plugins.

[ralvarado]

OK, I've done that, but the error messages remain. However, now the problem seems to be solved on my test server. All I did was restart the web server after updating the wp-config file. But we have already restarted the server on production and it had not effect. Weird.

 

The problem seems to be related to PageLines looking for a cache file that is not there (given the browser console error message cited earlier). Any idea on how to stop this from happening?

[ralvarado]

OK, it looks like this has to do with permalinks. The broken sites can find their CSS files now if permalinks are set to default. Is this a requirement for PageLines?

[Simon_P]

It isnt a requirement no.

 

The define snippet i provided will use a url without permalinks if yours are not setup.

[ralvarado]

OK, thanks!

[ralvarado]

To sum up: add the following line to your wp-config.php file and PageLines will be happy:

 

define('PL_NO_DYNAMIC_URL', true);

 

This allows default permalinks to function even if your site is set to a different permalink style. I think. Anyway, it works.
