please enable debug to find out the actual error, if you get one, please paste it here so we could assist you, if not, please follow the steps in this tutorial: http://docs.oxwall.org/faq:parse-error-troubleshooting

as to this error, you need to truncate ow_newsfeed_action_set table via phpmyadmin, see this post: http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/11519?page=1#post-58164

as to the error log, most of the errors come from the attachement, hint plugins. please truncate the table, then update the newsfeed plugin and see if the errors persist

Will do Ross, thank you. I'll let you know if it works or not :)

Alright, keep us updated. 

Are you updating it manually? What plugin build do you have in the newsfeed folder/plugin.xml file ? 

Try the following go to ow_base_menu_item find newsfeed_feed in the column KEY and rename it to newsfeed_feed1 and try to update again. 

I did the update manually so while the newsfeed is working properly on the front end, it naturally still wants to update the database on the back end.

The plugin.xml file says:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
Allright, I'll try renaming the column key and run the update again as suggested now...

not xml version plugin build in the plugin.xml file

I only seem to have a listing in base menu item for newsfeed with the type being "mobile_top" 

is there supposed to be a newsfeed listing for the desktop version in there as well?

Also I noticed that my tables are prefixed wwv_ not ow_  is that a problem as well?

I do apologize if I'm being dense, but I've never worked with a data base before aside from the most rudimentary functions of import and export.

Quote from ross not xml version plugin build in the plugin.xml file

oh I see now, sorry..

build 8100

well, according to the build you have up-to-date plugin. which is why you have this error. you can have any prefix, you need to make sure you look through the whole table, there can be other pages, go to the bottom of the table and click show all, then ctrl+F and try to located newsfeed_feed and rename it by adding 1 at the end. 

The only one I had is the one for mobile top but I renamed it anyhow and the plug in finally updated successfully! Thank you! :)))

However I still can't seem to upload an image in primary status

I checked the console again and only got the error Failed to load resource: net: : ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT this time.  That has to do with a facebook log in image that a member used in her link post though and it went away when I disabled the ad block on my browser.

sure, it's 

www.noclue.tekcetic.com

I can't join it keeps redirecting me to this url: http://www.noclue.tekcetic.com/antispammer/sorry . can you please disable that plugin if you have one? 

ok plugin is disabled, try it now 

BTW I was combing through the forum again and came across a thread where someone seems to have had a similar issue:

http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/20369?page=1#post-96479

Perhaps the same type of thing is what's causing the problem on my site?

The plug in is still disabled, were you able to sign up?

Not sure if you got in and did anything or if my constant fiddling about with the plug ins somehow fixed it, but whatever the problem was, it seems have been sorted...lol

You can mark this thread solved Ross, Thank you for your time :)

Unfortunately I did nothing, my working shift was over, and I did not even login to your website. 

Anyway, thanks for letting us know, I'm going to mark this thread as Solved then.
