Wiki plugin activation cause admin page to go blank

Installing the Wiki plugin on a Synology NAS. Upon activating the plugin the admin page goes blank. I’ve seen posts on the topic but they just dead end. I did the define (‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’:wink:; thing but that didn’t help. Any suggestions? I can’t even get to the point of editing anything, have to uninstall wordpress and start over.

    Hi there @Dessari,

    Hope you’re well today and sorry to hear of the issues your having here.

    Just to confirm your whole WordPress install is installed on a Synology NAS correct?

    In your wp-config.php, can you change WP_DEBUG from false to true and then reactivate the plugin (this should break it again), but with debug enabled, it should output a error message.

    Do you have FTP at all? Or anyway of getting to the files on your install? If so rather than re-installing WordPress you can just delete the Wiki folder from wp-content/plugins :slight_smile:

    Do you have a php.ini file at all? :slight_smile:

    Please advise.

    Thanks!

    Kind Regards

    Jack.

    The entire WordPress install is on the nas. I updated WP_DEBUG to true and got the following error

    Fatal error: Class ‘csSYNOWordPressMisc’ not found in /volume1/web/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 85

    Thanks for the tip on deleting the wiki folder. It should have occured to me to do that. It’s a new install with no content so removing and reinstalling the synology WordPress package seemed cleanest.

    There is a php.ini file

    I decided to check the version of WordPress and the default synology package was 3.5. Did a manual upgrade to 3.8.1 and my problem disappeared. If there’s a known fix for the error I listed, could you describe it or post a link so if someone else out there is having the same problem this discussion doesn’t just dead end on them. Other than that, I think this can be closed.

    Hi there @Dessari,

    Thanks for the additional information,

    I’ve done some testing and this issue seems to be unique to the synologyNAS, I don’t have one, but a friend does so I tested this out and could replicate the same thing but not only with Wiki but other plugins as well, this is mostly because it has 3.5 installed and not 3.8.1.

    So it seems it was all related to the WordPress version :slight_smile:

    Thank you!

    Kind Regards

    Jack.
