Hello Everyone!
Firstly, thanks to all those brave souls that have been downloading the Page Blocks plugin… it seems that the number has surpassed the 160 mark, so many thanks for your vote of confidence! More importantly though I would like to thank Jennae Petersen, Extrakun, and Jennifer Hampton who all pointed out a minor oversight on my part that prevents the plugin from working.
One thing I didn’t take into account when uploading the plugin was that WordPress.org names the plugin’s directory page-blocks instead of page_blocks when packaging the plugin’s files into a ZIP file, which once the plugin is installed prevents the required CSS stylesheet and javascript from being found and hence working.
The plugin code has now been patched to correct this issue, so if you have already installed version 1.0 and wondered why the plugin wouldn’t work, all you need to do to fix this is upgrade to version 1.0.1 by either:
- Automatically upgrading from the admin backend. Note that depending on how long ago you installed the plugin it could take up to 12 hours for the notification message to appear.
- Download the latest version from the WordPress Plugin Directory and install it yourself manually. If you do this you only need to extract the files from the ZIP file and overwrite the page-blocks directory contents without de-activating the plugin first.
However you use or whatever you think about the plugin, I certainly look forward to reading all about it, so please feel free to contact me using the Contact Us form on the plugin’s website.
Regards,
Paolo Ermani
