NAVT Update 1.0.33

Contains a minor change for user roles and was tested against wp 2.8.1. If you are having trouble finding the NAVT List menu item once the plugin is activated I suggest you do the following:

  • Temporarily change the permissions on the NAVT directory to 777.
  • Reactivate the NAVT plugin.
  • Change the NAVT directory permissions to 755

As of version 1.0.29, NAVT needs to create a file in it’s own installation directory – the file is only created once. If it can’t create the file then it will not display the NAVT List menu item.

You may find that the Word Press automatic plugin upgrade routine removes all files from the previous version and you may have to temporarily change the permissions on the NAVT directory after upgrading. Make sure you change the permissions back to 755 after activating the plugin.

If NAVT can’t find the file because the WordPress installation isn’t where it would normally be located (in the root directory) OR the WordPress wp-content directory is NOT located inside the WordPress installation directory then NAVT has no chance of working correctly.
