A Disappearing Plugin
  • I’m developing a plugin, and somehow it suddenly disappeared from the Plugins page. I cannot invent any magic to make it reappear. Changed its name. Removed it from fp-plugins. Emptied the cache. Removed fp-content/config/plugins.conf.php (which contains its name). Removed fp-defaults/plugins.conf.php (which doesn’t contain its name). The Plugins page still doesn’t list my plugin.
    But the plugin is running. When I render the test entry containing the BBCode added by my plugin, it shows the effect of my plugin. If I remove the plugin from fp-plugins and reload the entry again, the actual BBCode appears. So my plugin is running properly, just doesn’t get to be listed…
    What shall I do?
  • Take a look in the source from other Flatpress related plugins. Place a description inside the header lines and your plugin will shown with these lines in the admin plugin panel.
  • No, Laborix, that wasn’t the problem. I put the description there and the plugin appeared in the list. Then it somehow disappeared, and no matter what I did do, it didn’t reappear. Several hours later, all of a sudden, it reappeared.
  • Is it possible, that your browser cache is the reason? I will ask for this, because Opera browser is a bit lazy after setup a new FP. Clearing cache and cookies will solve this situation.


  • I’ve emptied the cache, too. Both the browser cache and FlatPress cache. Since the entry did reappear, I cannot reproduce the problem.
    Now the problem that makes me headaches is this one.
