[resolved] Textpattern CMS interface stuck on Admin->Preferences->Language
As the title suggests, my interface is behaving strangely. I can log in without trouble, however it defaults to the Admin->Preferences->Language page, and wont load any other pages.
This happened after an attempt to install Textpattern on a subdomain on the same server.
Help! Please!

Re: [resolved] Textpattern CMS interface stuck on Admin->Preferences->Language
I just came across another topic about this problem, maybe it helps.

Re: [resolved] Textpattern CMS interface stuck on Admin->Preferences->Language
Looks like they’re encountering the same issue I am, but I can’t tell what error is causing it as my site isn’t set to debugging mode.
If I can’t access the Admin->preferences page, what other way can I set it to debugging mode to receive an error message.
Thanks!

If you can make changes directly to the database, you want to change the production_status item in the txp_prefs table to “debug”.
Code is topiary

Re: [resolved] Textpattern CMS interface stuck on Admin->Preferences->Language
I changed the production status to debug in myPHPadmin. No errors display and the problem still persists.

How is your server handling sub-domains?
- There are some servers which require the sub-domain folder to be before the root directory
- Others which handle any folder as sub-domain if the user chooses
- Whilst others require to point to the sub-domain via htaccess.
If it is the #3, are you sure that your htaccess rule is correct?

Re: [resolved] Textpattern CMS interface stuck on Admin->Preferences->Language
It would be number two. I’ve removed the subdomain textpattern install however. This problem is occurring in an install on the top directory of my webserver. It worked without any trouble for over year, until I attempted the second textpattern install.
I’m using the standard .htaccess to allow clean URLS.

Did you also remove the table created by the sub-domain install which i assume that they were in the same db as your root site?

Re: [resolved] Textpattern CMS interface stuck on Admin->Preferences->Language
I did, but could there be other data left behind in the DB causing this?

bump
Still stuck on this. Next step is to backup and reinstall I guess.

Or a plugin? You can disable all plugins through phpMyAdmin and check what happens.

I know it’s obvious and the issue has persisted for too long but make sure it is not a cache problem. Did you try connecting using another computer?

Re: [resolved] Textpattern CMS interface stuck on Admin->Preferences->Language
Disabling (and subsequently re-enabling) plugins has made matters worse:

the plugins are now reporting widespread errors.

Yes, of course they are ;) ignore them for the moment, they will go away once you re-activate the plugins.
I think this may be the important part:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DNUMBER in /var/www/html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(574) : eval()’d code on line 45
The above errors were caused by the plugin:rss_live_search
The plugin is causing an error even when it is disabled… Maybe you should try if removing it helps.

Re: [resolved] Textpattern CMS interface stuck on Admin->Preferences->Language
Okay, all plugins are now disabled, this is the error message I get with the site set to debug:
Tag error: <txp:kml_flashembed_js src=“http://www.lehan.ca/js/swfobject.js”/> -> Textpattern Warning: tag does not exist on line 1104
textpattern/publish.php:1104 trigger_error()

textpattern/publish.php:496 parse()
index.php:33 textpattern()
Looks to me like these four plugins, wet_thumbfilter, rss_live_search, kml_flashembed_js, are the offending culprits. What’s bizarre is that all four were working perfectly prior to my initial issue arising. Why would they now suddenly go funky?
Reminder, all this started when I attempted to install a second copy of textpattern in a subdomain on my server. I created a separate database for it, but clearly something cross-polluted.

No, they are not. Of course the tags don’t exist if you disabled the plugins. These warnings have nothing to do with your problem. So you still can’t get past the languages page?
