Question

Can't delete publishing service

I have several items that are listed in Publishing services as missing plug-in. When I try to remove them I get the following:

Can't delete the published collection

An internal error has occured: ?:0:

attempt to index field

'publishSettings' (a nil value)

 

I'm using the latest 12.3 release of Lightroom Classic on iMac (2015) with latest OS

Thanks,

Lyle

Have you tried reinstalling the plugin? And this would be withing the plug-in manager.

It’s not exactly a plug-in I think. They are all some sort of artifact from opening my SmugMug services and making changes to the folder hierarchy with SmugMug. I posed the question to SmugMug support but no answer yet. They refer, I believe to folders in SmugMug. No matter what I do I can’t get rid of them. I will look through the Lightroom area on my hard drive to see if I can find any reference to them as plugins

Thanks,

The Smugmug publishing service uses a Smugmug plug-in. You should see it listed in the Plug-in manager, See if an error is stated in the manager. Or for that matter, if the plug-in is missing.

 

And yes, those are folders on the Smugmug site (folders, catalogs, etc)

To build on GoldingD's reply, your screenshot shows that LR thinks the SmugMug plugin isn't installed and enabled:

 

Without that plugin installed and running correctly, LR will get very confused.  Troubleshooting steps:

 

1. Do File > Plug-in Manager.

 

2. Select SmugMug in the left column.

 

3. In the right column, in the Updates panel, click Check Now to ensure you have the latest version installed (version 3.4.3.0).

 

4. If the Status panel indicates the plugin is disabled, click Enable.

 

5. In the Plug-in Author Tools panel, if there are diagnostic messages, click Save Diagnostic Log To File and post the contents of the file here.
