  6. Your instructiosn are wrong:
    1. Download the help-desk.zip
    2. Extract the files. Copy the ‘help-desk.php’ and ‘help-desk’ directory into ‘/wp-content/wp-plugins/’
    Note: not the plugins folder.

    It should say mu-plugins not wp-plugins :-)

    Otherwise I just started testing will let you know how it goes

  7. ok so now all that was included in the download is inside mu-plugins folder.
    seems ok, but one link gives me a 404 error….

    the menu in the backend, when I click on helpdesk gives a 404 error.it looks like this:
    http://zice.ro/wp-admin/help-desk.php

    but the other links to new ticket, knowledgebase and settings look like this:
    http://zice.ro/wp-admin/admin.php?page=help-desk-settings

    could it be something on my side or is the menu structure just broken?

  8. I don’t know what just happened but my last comment disappeared :-(
    I was saying the the backend menu structure is broken on my test blog. I can click on new ticket, knowledgebase and settigns but when I click on helpdesk, I get an 404 error. The first 3 menus look like:

    h**p://zice.ro/wp-admin/admin.php?page=help-desk-settings
    while the link that doesn’t work looks like:
    h**p://zice.ro/wp-admin/help-desk.php and gives me a 404 error.

    anyone else having this problem?

  10. Thanks ovidiu,

    I fixed the error in my installation instructions.

    Is your WordPress MU installation running in sub-domains or sub-directory mode? My MU blogs are running on sub-domain mode and I haven’t tested Help Desk with sub-directory, I will go back and have a look at my menu code and try and have a fix for you tomorrow.

  12. Thing is working… kind off. I mean, ticket gets delivered, but it is impossible to see Admin’s replies inside users blog Administration. They are there all right but I can only see them when I disable CSS. Any ideas?

  14. In your documentation you say to create a wp-plugins folder inside the wp-content folder. Well your read-me file says that but your website says to create a mu-plugin folder, which is it? I’ve done both and it’s not showing up in WP at all

  16. Hi Samuel,

    Sorry the wp-plugins was a typo, just use the mu-plugin folder under wp-content.

    I have done allot of work on the Help Desk plugin in the past two weeks, I was hoping to have a new version release finished by last week however my work load got a little crazy.

    I will be releasing a new version sometime in the next two weeks so check back soon or subscribe to my fees at http://ozblog.mmow.biz/

    In addition, if anyone has any bug reports or feature requests please post them either here or on the plugin homepage http://ozblog.mmow.biz/2008/08/20/29/ and I will try and attend to them before the next release.

    Till next time

  17. so when i make a new folder inside the wp-content folder it should just show up?

    I tried the mu-plugins and nothing changes in WP. Now the version I’m using is just plain old wordpress from wordpress.org; do I need a certain version? I see talk of a multi-user version but I’m not quite sure what is meant by that

  19. Samuel,

    You said you are running a WordPress installation not WordPress MU installation. If you are not sure of the difference WordPress (www.wordpress.org) runs a single blog on a single instillation, WordPress MU (www. mu.wordpress.org) is used to host multiple blogs from a single instillation, similar to http://www.wordpress.com.

    The Help Desk plugin and most other plugins on this website are designed for WordPress MU.

    Sorry if I hade you confused, I hope that helps.
