Fix Broken Plugins with WordPress 2.9

December 30, 2009 · Posted in WordPress · 1 Comment 

Ever since I upgraded to WordPress 2.9, some of the plugins no longer working.

Some plugins will simply showing an error, You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page, when you accessing the Settings page.
WordPress Error

I tried to contact those plugin developers, however, many no longer update their plugins.

So, I decided to look into the code myself. And here is the small trick to make them working again.

Goto Plugins menu, use the Editor to open the plugin source code. Search for the hook, admin_head.

Change the hook name to admin_menu, and click save.

Now, your plugins should work again. Note that, this steps may not solves all the broken plugins.

By the way, if you schedule your posts in advance and have some WordPress cron jobs running (like backup, RSS, ping, etc), then might be worth to learn how to fix them. If not, just wait for WordPress 2.9.1, should be out soon.

WordPress is no 1 self-host blogging platform now, as there are millions of blogs & websites running on WordPress.

Recently, some reports that there is an “attack” on older versions of WordPress right now. According to a study revealed that 98% of WordPress blogs being run were exploitable because they were running outdated and unsupported versions of the WordPress. (source Wiki).

I believe millions WordPress users not aware of this vulnerability, especially those “hardly update” one (like me).

The latest version of WordPress is 2.8.4. If you’re still using older version, upgrade your WordPress immediately.
