   Hello everybody,
   I´m sorry but I DO need help ...

   I was looking for a way of adding a way for feedback to my wordpress page.
   I found a Plugin that was supposed to do so. After I clicked install I was still on the plugin page from my wordpress dashboard and it asked me to ACTIVATE it. so I did.

   Right than the message
   Fatal error: Class 'AeytimesSiteRSS' not found in /home2/kohtaoad/public_html/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 324

   appeared and is still there. I can´t access my wordpress admin area anymore and I even can´t see my website anymore.

   What can I do ??? How do I remove this plugin again. bad thing I dont remember the name of it. something with feedback...

   Please I have no idea what to do ...
   My webspace is at bluehost and there is a link to restore a backup. i have no idea how long ago i did a backup or if i even did one of this version.
   PLEASE help me ... totaly clueless.

   Thank you verry much !!!
   here the website - only shows the error message now - http://www.kohtao-adventure.com

   Hi taucherphil,

   I did a little homework. The name of the plugin is Aeytimes Product or Service Feedback / Comments Widget. For an immediate fix, browse to your plugin folder via FTP and rename the folder aeytimes-product-or-service-feedback to something else such as aeytimes-product-or-service-feedback-1. It doesn't really matter what you rename it. This has the effect of deactivating the plugin.

   I had a look at the plugin and the permanent fix is easy - the author made a typo. Open the file called aeytimes-product.php in a plain text editor such as Notepad and close to the top you will see the following ...

   class AeytimesProductRSS extends WP_Widget {
   	function AeytimesProductRSS() {
   		$widget_ops = array( 'classname' => 'aeytimes', 'description' => 'A widget displaying the latest comments of your idea on AeyTimes.' );
   		$control_ops = array( 'width' => 300, 'height' => 350, 'id_base' => 'aeytimes-product' );
   		$this->WP_Widget('aeytimes-product', 'Aeytimes Product or Service Widget', $widget_ops, $control_ops);
   	}

   Pay attention to the above line that reads function AeytimesProductRSS()

   Now, scroll to the bottom of that file and you'll see the following ...

   function register_AeytimesSiteRSSWidget(){
   	register_widget('AeytimesSiteRSS');
   }
   
   add_action('init', 'register_AeytimesSiteRSSWidget', 1);

   Pay attention to the above line that reads register_widget('AeytimesSiteRSS')

   Do you see what he has done? A simple typo. The block of code above should read ...

   function register_AeytimesProductRSSWidget(){
   	register_widget('AeytimesProductRSS');
   }
   
   add_action('init', 'register_AeytimesProductRSSWidget', 1);

   Simply make the change I outlined above, upload the file and rename that folder back to its original name.

   Or, if you don't want to muck about editing files I uploaded an edited version of the aeytimes-product.php to the WordPress Pastebin which you can download here.

   Delete the original aeytimes-product.php file and upload the one I supplied. Then rename the folder aeytimes-product-or-service-feedback-1 back to its original.

   You're welcome. Glad to see everything is working. On a side note, I notified the plugin author and pointed him to this thread. Hopefully the file will be corrected soon.
