Wordpress $civicrm_root not recognized?

[penguintrax]

Cron jobs are not running and when I try to execute from URL I get an errror that the CiviCRM root directory is not defined. I get a similar error when trying to upload images in CKEditor.

Code: [Select]

Oops! - The path for including CiviCRM code files is not set properly. Most likely there is an error in the civicrm_root setting in your CiviCRM settings file (/home/fsgnw/public_html/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm//../civicrm.settings.php).

» civicrm_root is currently set to: .


In civicrm.settings.php the $civicrm_root directory is defined as:

$civicrm_root = '/home/fsgnw/public_html/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/';

And the base URL as:

define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL'      , 'http://www.fsgnw.com/' );


However, in the Resource URLs setting, CiviCRM Resource URL is defined as:

http://www.fsgnw.com/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/


I upgraded to 4.4 and the problem doesn't seem to be resolved. What obvious thing am I missing here?

I ran a clean install of Civi with Wordpress 3.81. Used that settings file to update the faulty install. Still getting the same civicrm_root not defined error.

Can anyone suggest anything else?

Hi,
I was having the same problem you describe on a Wordpress installation with civi 4.4.4. I am no civi expert but the problem seems to be a problem in civicrm.php. I am not sure whether this is the actual problem as I stopped investigating when it worked! In the initialize function on line 280 of civicrm.php the $civicrm_root variable is referenced without first declaring it a global variable. I just stuck a line in at the beginning of the function like this:

Code: [Select]

public function initialize() {
    global $civicrm_root;
    static $initialized = FALSE;
    static $failure = FALSE;
It seems to work for me - crons all working. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Douglas.

Douglas,

I could KISS you, lol! That worked. I wonder if you should submit it as a patch and have the core team review it, but for me, that seems to have solved the problem.

Once the patch is approved, it should probably be referenced in the Wordpress Installation documentation for Civi.

I just upgraded to 4.4.5 and was encountering the same error. This fix also resolved it!
