Hi!

This is the first time I see such report, how did you install the plugin? There are migrations to update the database and looks like they were not executed.

Please, execute the following queries in your database and share with me the output:

describe pln_deposits;

select * from plugin_settings where plugin_name = 'plnplugin' and setting_name = 'terms_of_use_agreement';

thanks for the reply.

from version 3.3.0.8 the plugin is working.

When we first upgrade from 3.3.0.8 to 3.4.0.5, there is no pkp pn plugin that support for version 3.4 so i just left it disable.

when we upgrade to 3.4.0.8 there is the plugin error like this

Plugins following update (3.4.0-5)

with every update of version 3.4, I’m currently at 3.4.0.5, I also had to copy the “old” plugin folder, in addition to the config.inc.php public and files folder. this is because otherwise every plugin I tried to reinstall always tells me it’s already installed, even if it’s not true. there’s probably something left on the written db that screws it up. how to solve?

so i uninstall and install the latest plugin from the list.

thats when another error missing tables come up which i solve by following guide…

after that this current error come up…

i then uninstall the plug in and install it back then there is no error…

so the error is solve by uninstalling and install back the plug in.

I’d need a reproduction case to understand what was happening.
Anyway, is you problem solved?

Best,
Jonas Raoni

[mohd_arshad]

Yes… by uninstalling and installing back the plugin using the recomended step through the plugin page.

[jonasraoni]

Thanks, I’ll check the feasibility of always running the upgrades for this plugin in case more reports appear. It’s not ideal, but should solve the issue.

Best,
Jonas
