Do you get any error message when you save?

WP Carousel has to determine the path to file wp_blog_header.php in order to be able to save changes, so if WP Carousel has failed at this point, it can’t save any change.

If the error is that WP Carousel uses an incorrect path to load wp_blog_header.php, you can do the following steps to find the error.

1. Open update_db.php in WP Carousel folder
2. Replace all the content of that file with this new code:

   if (!defined(‘WP_CAROUSEL_WP_BLOG_HEADER_FILE’))
   	{
   		define(‘WP_CAROUSEL_WP_BLOG_HEADER_FILE’, ‘wp-blog-header.php’);
   	}
   	$folder_path = ”;
   	while (!is_readable($folder_path . WP_CAROUSEL_WP_BLOG_HEADER_FILE))
   	{
   		$folder_path .= ‘../’;
   		if (!is_dir($folder_path))
   		{
   			break;
   		}
   	}
   	echo $folder_path . WP_CAROUSEL_WP_BLOG_HEADER_FILE;

3. Try to save again. You’ll see a path when you clic on the save button.
4. Check if that path is correct. If it is not correct, please, post here the path you get and the correct path.

Sorry, I wasn’t notified about new replies in this topic, probably the email was marked as spam by mistake.

The code is not correct. I don’t know why, but line 6 has a quotation mark (“) instead of two apostrophe (‘). Here is the code fixed:

if (!defined(‘WP_CAROUSEL_WP_BLOG_HEADER_FILE’))
	{
		define(‘WP_CAROUSEL_WP_BLOG_HEADER_FILE’, ‘wp-blog-header.php’);
	}
	$folder_path = "";
	while (!is_readable($folder_path . WP_CAROUSEL_WP_BLOG_HEADER_FILE))
	{
		$folder_path .= ‘../’;
		if (!is_dir($folder_path))
		{
			break;
		}
	}
	echo $folder_path . WP_CAROUSEL_WP_BLOG_HEADER_FILE;

This code does the following:

1. It defines the name of the file wp-blog-header.php (needed to save changes).
2. It set ups the current folder as ”.
3. A loop is started: while there is no file called wp-blog-header.php in the folder, the current folder is the parent folder of the previous current folder.
4. If the parent of the current folder is not a dir, we have gone too far and break the loop in order to avoid an infinite loop.
5. Then, when we have discovered the path to the folder that stores wp-blog-header.php, it prints that path (just to know if it is correct or no).

When you save changes, that code is executed and then near to the message of “Changes saved” you’ll see that path, something similar to: ../../../wp-blog-header.php.

About the error of your last post, if you are sure about deleting WP Carousel, first remove its contents from database (you’ll see that option in the “Uninstall” page, in the WP Carousel menu). Then you must remove any code of carousels from your WordPress theme (like

<?php wp_carousel(1); ?>

) and every WP Carousel Widget. The shortcode is not needed as when WP Carousel is not active, the shortcode is not parsed and it simply shows [wp_carousel].

I have found that your file upadte_db.php wasn’t correct: you copied the number line and it breaks the file.

But I’ve tried to load the file again and I can’t. I’ll continue checking.
