This is really bad idea to store all the tasks in posts table! This table has many other entries, so tasks just it even bigger.
and what if I uninstall the plugin, will it remove all the tasks???
Your last update show all each task millions times. Can you fix that? and just stop updating plugin, cause it’s really hard to use it, as its too buggy.
Just to confirm: it is still creating new duplicates in 3.0.6 for you?
To remove all the to-do items, go to phpMyAdmin and to the SQL tab. Enter this command (replace wp with whatever your table prefix is):
To get rid of things in post_meta, enter the following commands into the SQL tab (individually):
I have deactivated, reactivated, and am still running at least 50 duplicates per task. I am not running multi-site, and I upgraded from 3.0.3. Just thought I would let you know. My site is so slow it is virtually unusable at the moment, so I think I will kep it deactivated for a bit! Thank you!
Same as Diojr. My entries was duplicated for more than 50 times. And everything goes slow. When i try to delete the tables from the settings nothing happen. And i can’t find the tables in my database to manual-deleting them. Any ideas?
The tasks are now custom post types, so they’re in the posts table. I will look into seeing why they duplicated for you. Are you running multi-site? Which plugin version did you upgrade from?
Multisite is disabled. I upgraded from 3.0.2 to 3.0.3
Thanks for letting me know. You can clean out all todo items by doing the following:
To remove all the to-do items, go to phpMyAdmin and to the SQL tab. Enter this command (replace wp with whatever your table prefix is):
To get rid of things in post_meta, enter the following commands into the SQL tab (individually):
Or they can be deleted individually by going to the Browse tab in phpMyAdmin for wp_posts and wp_postmeta, checking the boxes (or clicking Check All and then unchecking the ones you don’t want to delete), and clicking on the red X.
Sorry about all the duplicates. I hate the mess this has caused for some people.
Your newest update completely trashed my site, making response times around 3-5 minutes per page view, and making entrys copy themselves x 100000.
I’m still trying to recover.
Plugin gonna be deleted after this one. You need to test your updates, before making them public. Thank you.
I’m sorry about the serious issues you’re experiencing. Keep in mind that I do test my updates, but sometimes bugs happen. Especially with free software. It would be helpful if you provided some additional info such as what version you upgraded from, and if you’re running multi-site so I can fix this for other people.
I am not running multisite. I am running latest version of wordpress and upgraded from latest version of your plugin.
Also, i tried upgrading to 3.0.6, and reactivating the plugin, but it still slows down the site to a point where is is unusable. Do i have to clean something up before i can use it again, and if so – how?
If i delete the plugin, will the DB entries be deleted swell?
Thank you for the information.
If you delete the plugin though the WordPress admin, the old database tables and all settings will be removed. The duplicated items or any new items will not be removed. To remove all the to-do items, go to phpMyAdmin and to the SQL tab. Enter this command (replace wp with whatever your table prefix is):
To get rid of things in post_meta, enter the following commands into the SQL tab (individually):
If you decide to remove all the items and try adding a few new test items, please let me know if it still makes the site unusable. And let me know if you’re using categories and what list view (individual, group, or master).
Again, I’m sorry for the mess the plugin created. It’s very disheartening to release something that breaks someone’s site.
Hey
I used the phpMyAdmin commands as you said, deleted the plugin, reinstalled it, and it now seems to be working fine.
I’m sorry for the harsh comment in here, but i was desperately trying to fix my site. We use your plugin every day, and love its features. I hope that you will keep working on it.
Thank you.
Upgraded. Now old stories are repeating. Tried removing the old tables, but they still exist. Where are the tasks stored now?
When I try to delete the completed tasks I get: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /opt/home/mobile1/public_html/news/inc/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1402
Do you know the memory limit of your web host? I’ll try to see if I can duplicate tonight.
The tasks are now stored as custom post types, so they’re in the posts table. Which version did you upgrade from? Are you using multi-site?
Sh*t!
Your new update has removed all my tasks!
Why did you do that?
Did you try deactivating and reactivating the plugin? If that doesn’t help, temporarily downgrade to the 2.3 beta (http://cleverness.org/2011/10/02/to-do-list-plugin-2-3-beta-now-available/). The to-do list items are all still available. It would be helpful if you could provide some details about your WordPress install, such as if you’re running it as multi-site.
Yes.. I tried to deactivated and reactivated it but nothing change.. It’s only a blog and i use the todo-list as list-view “Group”…
It’s solved using the sort by category and not by ID!!
todolist in the widget where all showed only in the first category, and the wich one with the highest priority..
I just updated it and nothing works anymore !! I got several errors like :
Some other errors like when updating TDL settings, and the list doesn’t show anymore on my dashboard… I’m on WP 3.3.1 ! Help me, please !
I’m taking a look at the code now to fix.
I deactivated then reactivated the plugin, it now works perfectly ! Thanks for your great job !
I had the same problem with the errors this morning and deactivated it – but thanks for the suggestion, Aurels … I re-activated it and everything works now.
I’ve used this plugin myself for a long time now and I like the new features – especially the link in the admin bar.
Keep up the great work!
Looks like a great plugin! I’ll be sure to check it out. Thanks a lot for sharing it!
Hi,
I just updated the plugin but nothing works anymore!
My entire list has disappeared (luckily I could get it from the db), but I can’t add anything new. In the settings (also everything I set before has disappeared), I enabled categories, date, deadlines, progress and users assignments, but nothing shows on the add new item page (I remember that it did in previous versions). If I try to add a new todo item, nothing happens. The tables are still present in my db. Is that what causes the problem? I don’t want to delete them unless I’m sure it’s ok…
I’m very sorry it’s not working. I would leave the tables for now. You can temporarily install the old 2.3 beta (http://cleverness.org/2011/10/02/to-do-list-plugin-2-3-beta-now-available/) and will have to reset your settings, until I can figure out why yours isn’t working.
Are you using multi-site? Version 3.3.1 of WordPress? Is there anything unusual about your WordPress setup? Anything specific you can tell me would help me re-create the issue.
Just a thought…did you try deactivating and reactivating the plugin?
I didn’t deactivate it. I tried right now and it worked, thanks!
Just a question, the old list is lost? Do I have to manually reinsert it, or can I restore it via database?
If upgrading to the latest version, 3.0.1, and deactivating and reactivating it doesn’t bring the last back, you might need to re-enter them manually, unless you would like to give me temporary access to your site.
It brought back only the items I tried to enter after the update. It’s ok, though, I will enter them manually
Another thought…if it’s multi-site is the plugin network activated? Or individually activated?
I am having problems adding some items. I have the list view set to individual in the setting and I can add new items when logged in under the admin. But when I login under any other user and click the “Add To-Do” button the input fields clear and the item is not added. Is there something I need to change in the settings to make it work right? Thanks.
I’ve just released version 3.0. Let me know if you are still having issues.
Does this plugin handle repeating tasks? For example, can I enter a task and select to repeat it every month?
No, there’s no way to make a task repeat. I’ll add it to the feature request list.
excellent plugin. Can you add a feature showing who finished each task?
I’ll add your request to the feature request list.
Hi,
Thanks for the plugin! its just what i wanted!
i have 2 points to note however …
1. right now you can assign tasks to users. some users may not have the privileges to assign tasks. when this happens, $assign variable is set to 0. this means, that the user will add a to do list item but wont see it in his list (since its assigned to none, not him) … therefore, i think it that if the user does not have the capability to assign tasks, it should be assigned to himself (after all he’s adding it to HIS OWN to do list!!)
2. i think there is a slight problem with persisting $_POST variables … if a task is deleted for example and the page is refreshed an error comes up saying it could not delete item (since it tries to find the ID but the item was just deleted!)
Thanks!
Thanks for the notices about those issues.
sorry, made a mistake.
i wanted to say that it would be interesting when the field would accept it to use the “return”-Key to make a paragraph and so on.
Now you have to type by hand all that HTML.
regards axel
I plan to add a the same editor that is used for WordPress posts in the future.
Hi Cindy,
thanx for that useful plugin.
may i ask what to do to allow HTML in your plugin (output in Dashboard….)?
It would be useful to use breaks or paragraphs or even a working link to get a better overview if the task has a bit more content than just one line.
regards axel
Hi! Is it or will it be possible to alter ID numbers for categories to allow for more sorting options? As I have added categories after the fact, it is no longer possible to sort them as they should be, and having the option to edit the ID number would solve that! LOVE this plugin!
Hi, it’s not possible right now, but I’ll put that on my requested features list.
Hi Cindy, is it possible to show in the widget, only the task assigned to 1 user in the author.php template?
thanks
Thank you Cindy. We will play with the beta version. Thank you again for the wonderful work you do.
