[Plugin: Alkivia SidePosts] [Plugin: SidePosts Widget] Fatal error on upgrade to 3.0 (5 posts)

    I triggered the automatic upgrade to SidePosts Widget 3.0 today and it gave me an immediate error:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ak_admin_notify() in /var/www/html/wi/wigleyandassociates.com/locallygrownnorthfield/wp-content/plugins/sideposts/framework/lib/formating.php on line 48

    I've deleted the plugin and reinstalled it and it's still giving me the same error.

    Any idea on how to fix this? It's a bit urgent, as the sideblog is a critical feature of our blog.

    Have you any other of my the plugins installed? PHP 5.2 is supposed to be running on your server.

    I mean, any of this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile/txanny
    If yes, try to disable one by one to see if some of them has any incompatibility. If no, there is no reason to have the same function declared anywhere else.

    A Quick way, you can go back to the previous version than can be downloaded at http://code.alkivia.org/wsvn/gpl/plugins/sideposts/tags/2.5.2/?op=dl&rev=0&isdir=1

    Another way, is go to the code and delete that function... It's a brutal hack, but should work.

    Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I have Capability Manager running, too. I need both, though, so I'll try to go back to the previous version.

    Good news. I updated Capability Manager to Version 1.3.1 and then reinstalled SidePosts Widget 3.0.

    No more error message and all's working.

    And I sent you $25 via your PayPal donation page:

    Thanks for your help.

    Nice to see it is working now. And many thanks for your (received) donation!

    As I am migrating all plugins to the new framework used, I forgot to note that can be some incompatibilities with old versions. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused to you.
