Good afternoon,

I'm using WPG2 3.0.7 with WP 3.4.2 running a multisite installation. Or rather, I am not.

I install WPG2 in the network installation area, but do not network activate it. I go into individual blogs and activate it locally, but the WPG2 menu never appears for me to actually configure the integration. I don't know whether that's because it doesn't support multisite, or it doesn't support WP 3.4.2, or if there may be some other issue.

Is this a question you can answer off the top of your head?

Thanks!

Although gallery2 can be installed multisite WPG2 cannot.
This means that you need the full WPG2 plugin installed/configured/activated for each WP site whereas you only need a few files from G2 on all sites.

Personally I think multisite installs are more trouble than they are worth. Unless your host is stingy w/ disk space.

Just to be clear, WP is running in multisite, gallery is not. Are you saying that WPG2 cannot be installed in a multisite WP installation? I've installed it without network activation, activating it instead on each individual blog site, but still no control panel.

Also, as a test I installed a standalone WP with WPG2 and a G2 install, and it also doesn't seem to have a control panel for WPG2, though it sees and activates the plugin. So I'm reduced to thinking I'm doing something dumb, or missing something obvious....

If you've installed the plugin, you should definitely see a dashboard element

What version WP?

It's WP 3.4.2, and there's nothing on the sidebar, either in my multisite WP installation, or in the standalone test installation I did. Are there prerequisites to installing WPG2? Maybe I missed something.

Yeah, I saw those, and they're met by my installation. I was hoping there was something that hadn't made it on to the docs yet.

I just took over the project as the original devs evaporated.
I installed my first WP site added G2 then WPG2 and activation/validation went fairly smooth.
Only a simple glitch where WPG2 wanted to append my path to itself - something I've fixed.

Why not activate Debugging in WP and see if the plugin is throwing any errors that are being suppressed.
I know there are a few depreciated function references in WPG2, but depreciated still works... just means I need to get on it and update the plugin.

My first day w/ WP I wrote my first WP plugin as well. A simple API helps greatly.

I guess this is indicative:

Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function 'wpg2_sidebar_widgets_init' not found or invalid function name in /var/www/blogs/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 403 Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function 'wpg2_addwpmenus' not found or invalid function name in /var/www/blogs/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 403
