    Fatal error: Call to undefined method Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud::WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud() in /home/content/70/7017870/html/wp-content/themes/arras-theme/library/widgets.php on line 328

    Thank you so much. The instructions say to “apply” a fix. How do I access the code in order to edit it?

    Hello if you are referring to this line

    To fix this, simply replace line 355 of /library/widgets.php from:

    function Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud() {
        $this->WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud();
    }

    to:

    function Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud() {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    You will have to ftp into your account and navigate to /library/widgets.php and edit line 355 as mentioned above with the new code.

    The best program to use and it is free is Filezilla client. Here is the link http://filezilla-project.org/

    You can also edit the file from within your server in Cpanel >> filemanager if you have cpanel.

    Any of the option mention above in the two links are edited in the same method as I mentioned above.

    Let me know how you go.

    Kind regards

    Hi,
    As soon as I installed a new plug-in the following error message is displayed anytime I try to browse on my blog:
    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_sub_cat() (previously declared in /web/htdocs/www.freereporter.info/home/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/mootools-collapsing-categories/collapscatlist.php:198) in /web/htdocs/www.freereporter.info/home/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/superslider-menu/superslider-menu-list.php on line 140

    Do you know how I can solve it and see my blog again?

    Stefano

    Hello globalreporter, you have to ftp into your server and delete the plugin you installed wp-content/plugins/mootools-collapsing-categories folder.

    Also make sure that you have a backup of your website at all times and that you back up your website before you install a new plugin just in case something like this happens again. The good thing about wordpress is that it allows you to delete the plungins installed without really affecting the performance of your website πŸ™‚

    Another action that I take is setting up a test site. If you don’t have a test site setup and if your host allows you to have more than one database and subdomain then I would set up a testing site to test your work and installations of plugins πŸ™‚

    I hope this helps you.

    Kind regards

    Thanks a lot. It works. By the way, are you familiar with WP plugins enabling collapsible menus and posts display by category? I would like to ask you some help, if you don’t mind…

    Hello globalreporter, I am glad it worked for you :). What is the problem that you are having with the plugin that enables collapsing menus? I might be able to help you.

    Kind regards

    Thanks for your answer. In order to make my website more dynamic, I am looking for two plugins that enable the respective functions:
    1) multi-language compatible sidebar collapsible category menus showing latest posts
    SO far, I tried Moo Collapsing Categories but created the fatal error you already know.
    2) grouping and displaying of posts by category in front page and archive pages. Hereafter I explain ind etail what I want to do. Here you are my website: http://www.freereporter.info/wordpress. I created both thematic categories (climate, energy, etc.) and content type categories (publications, investigations, news, etc.) to group my news posts. By clicking the thematic categories in the main navigation bar, my users can now see all news posts related to each thematic category. Posts are now just listed in a chronological order. I would like to have type categories displayed in the page corresponding to each thematic category and have the posts listed under the relevant type category in a chronological order.

    I would be grateful if you could tell me which plugins I should instal and use to enable both the above-mentioned fucntions 1) and 2).

    Cheers

    Stefano

    Hello have you tried this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multi-level-navigation-plugin/

    This might help you.

    Thanks. This is a good plugin for the main navigation bar. But what I need now is a collapsible or foldable category sidebar for my frontpage. It needs to be multi-language compatible (qTranslate). Do you know a good plugin?

    Hello try this link http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-dtree-30/

    I think this is what you are looking for

    Kind regards

    I found another one that might interest you, here is the link http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/folding-category-widget/

    Kind regards

    Thanks. I’ll try both plugins.
    Now, I have a last question: as you can in my homepage the same sticky post “current investigation” appear two times, as a feature and as an excerpt. I would like to have it only as a feature. What should I do?

    Hello, I understand your question but without more information I can’t really recreate what you have done because on your front page you have some post’s that are only appearing once as an excerpt but it is the post mentioned above “current investigation” that appears twice……How have you set this post on the admin back-end? Why don’t you try to set this post in the same way as your other posts?

    Kind regards
