   I am getting this error:

   Fatal error: Cannot redeclare is_valid_email() (previously declared in /wp-content/plugins/email/email.php:425)

   I think this is the relevant code:

   //validate email adress
   					function is_valid_email($email)
   					{
     						return (eregi ("^([a-z0-9_]|\\-|\\.)+@(([a-z0-9_]|\\-)+\\.)+[a-z]{2,4}$", $email));
   					}

   I've no idea what all of that means - any help?

   Oh, and if I deactivate the plugin, is there another way of helping readers forward articles via email?

   Thanks a bunch,
   Cathy

   Oh - and I deleted the folders before the "/wp-content" - isn't it a security risk to display everything from public_html onwards?

   What plugin is that -- and have you contacted the plugin's author?

   The plug-in is WP-Email by Gamerz. No, i haven't bothered him with it, I thought it was my theme's error in the contact page handling. No?

   Ah. Maybe I get it. This only happens with a certain theme? Does the theme have a functions.php where it has a function with the same name?

   As far as alternatives to allow readers to forward articles by email; you might look at "Share This" at Alex King's plugin page.
