WikiTree X Support Needed

Question

I'm having a little trouble with the WikiTree X extension this morning. 

Specifically, I'm trying to update the profile for John Henry Speas (see link below) with information from his Find-a-Grave memorial.

I keep getting the following error:

No data found. To use WikiTree X, start on an external web page that has person data, such as a FamilySearch Tree profile. More information.

I popped over to a record on FamilySearch and tried an update from there with the same profile, and it worked fine.

Also:

• I've uninstalled & reinstalled the extension
• Update Chrome to the latest release
• Restarted my computer and browser

Any suggestions??

The only time I've seen that error show up was when I was on the picture tab instead of the memorial tab. I'm assuming that's not the case here but figure I would mention it just in case.

Thanks, Debi! No ... I was on the memorial page. Tried it like 43 different times. ;-)

(tried it once more just now ... still not working)

Just tried to do an update to an entirely different profile and had the same result.

Profile: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Speas-5

Find-a-Grave memorial: https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=38891539

Thanks for reporting the issue. Find A Grave changed something recently that broke the extension. We'll get it fixed soon.

Thanks, Justin! I suspected that might be the case. :-)

Answer 1

This bug is fixed in version 1.1.6 of the WikiTree X extension.

And it works like a charm now. Thanks, again! :-)

Answer 2

I've replicated it too, Julie

Answer 3

I've never tried to add a Find-a-grave citation from the memorial itself; I always add them from Family Search.  So I would search for the person from this index:  https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2221801  Then when I find the entry for that person https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVKW-6L37  I use Wikitree X to add the information to the person's Wikitree memorial.   When Wikitree X doesn't work on a particular site (e.g., Rootsweb family trees), I just find a different way to use it.   I hope this makes sense.

Thanks, J!

WikiTree X was working directly from the Find-a-Grave site before. So, I think something must have changed somewhere that created a problem.
