No; it’s a bug, but the problem is already solved in 3.1 Beta 1. I hope to get Beta 2 out in 0-3 days, and a stable 3.1 release out in a few weeks (fingers crossed ;).

Great plugin, just what I was looking for. One question: is there a way to prevent the TOC from showing up on the ‘index’ page and only on the individual post pages?

Not that I’m aware of - all other aspects of WP seem to be functioning properly.

Should I check with my hosting company?

Something's screwy, that's for sure. I'd ask what exactly the hosting company did (they likely aren't going to be willing/able to help you with this specific problem, though). If I could get a dump of your DB, I might be able to track the problem down; ping me via the contact form if you're interested, and I'll get my e-mail address to you.

I ran your SQL suggestion, and it doesn’t look like anything happened - returned a “Deleted 0 Rows” response. I have the same prefix setup as do you.

Well, if there is no in_series item in the wp_options table, then In Series has no configuration data stored at all — all the entries should be empty, not filled with “a”. I tried this locally with the dev version I’m working on, and it behaves as expected (I might drop back to 3.0.7 later if I get the opportunity).

Did the locale of your database change, or something?

I don’t think there’s anything suspicious going on with the database. I didn’t notice it before, but the following is the error code I’m getting whenever I try to change the values in the Options admin area.

“Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /hsphere/local/home/pinkrayg/pinkraygun.com/wp-content/plugins/in-series/in-series-config.php on line 27″

I ran your SQL suggestion, and it doesn’t look like anything happened - returned a “Deleted 0 Rows” response. I have the same prefix setup as do you.

Reactivated 3.0.6, and I still have the “a” character in all my input fields on the admin page - unable to change those values without getting the previously mentioned error code.

Any other suggestions?

That’s been another feature niggling at the back of my mind (reset configuration to defaults and save/restore series data). Right now, the only way to do this is manually, through the DB.

To restore defaults, you’ll need to disable the In Series plugin, then issue the following statement to MySQL against your WordPress database:

DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name='in_series';

Note that your WordPress options table may have a different prefix than mine. After this, re-enabling In Series should restore the defaults.

That said, I’d be really suspicious of that database if I were you. It’s not exactly easy to “accidentally” get “a” into each and every field in the In Series configuration. :/

Hope you get everything back up and running all right.

My ISP had some database issues, and when they came back up, everything was fine, except all the In-Series Option page information (in the Wordpress Admin area) was replaced with a single letter “a” in each field.

How do I get back to the default settings? I have no idea of the proper way to format the appearance of my next/previous, etc. based on the included 3.0.6 readme file.

Thanks in advance.

Ah! That would indeed make sense; the plugin creates its tables and upgrades old data to the new format when you activate the plugin, so it’s important to deactivate and activate.

In any case, I’m glad it’s working for you now. :)
