Here's the situation:
I downloaded the Exec-PHP plug in as I was told I would need it for a code I'm trying to use on my site. First, I manually installed it through the FTP and when I activated the plug in, the top of every page was this lovely message:
Exec-PHP WYSIWYG Conversion Warning. Saving this article will render all contained PHP code permanently unuseful. Even if you are saving this article through the Code editor. You can turn off this warning in your user profile. Ignore this warning in case this article does not contain PHP code. Read the Exec-PHP documentation if you are unsure what to do next.
So I read the document and what confused me is the part that says I can change the settings so that the message doesn't appear but that can cause problems. So I deactivated the plug in.
Then, (thinking I'd just screwed something up when I installed it myself) I went through Plug-In Browser/Installer and when I went to install this plug-in, I was given this message:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare pclziputilpathreduction() as it was previously declared in Wordpress Automatic Update.
So, I searched the help forum for the solution and it told me that the two plug ins do not work together. It suggested I de-activate automatic upgrade and then activate the Exec-PHP. Is this really necessary or is there another way to go about this? The problem is that the whole reason I did the automatic update plug-in is because I, nor any of my crew, know how to back-up a website prior to upgrading.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
