Fixing Plugin Problems

This page includes information on common problems when using plugins, and how to fix them.

I added a plugin to a page or module, but Tiki says the plugin is disabled.

The actual error message may be similar to

WARNING: Plugin disabled plugin name

Although the basic Tiki installation includes 100s of plugins, only the most commonly used ones are enabled by default. To improve security, starting with Tiki 3.1, you must specifically enable each plugin before it can be used.

See Enabling Plugins for more information.

I added a plugin to a page or module, but Tiki says the plugin execution pending approval

The actual error message may be similar to

This plugin was recently added or modified. Until an editor of the site validates the parameters, execution will not be possible

To improve security, potentially harmful plugins (such as those allowing scripts or database access) must be approved, after being added to a page or module. Depending on their permission, users can view the plugin's details, preview the plugin, or approve it.

Note: Users with tiki_p_plugin_approve permission can approve plugins.

See Approving Plugins for more information.
