Start by disabling the plugin. That will enable access to your blog. Have you recently modified your template or installed another plugin? I suspect something has changed in wp_head() which is on the line before it.
Hi Kyle
thanks a lot for your advice! By disabling and re-enabling the plugin, everything works now.
Just before this issue appeared, I had indeed made a general update of all my plugins as well as WordPress.
I am currently using WP 3.5.1.
Dear Kyle,
I am really sorry, but the same issue is now back, with exactly the same error message, and my blog is again not accessible.
Would you have maybe another idea how to fix this bug?
Thanks again for your help!
Does it make a difference if you change line 1888 to
echo (wp_head());
I had uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin, so I do not know if the change to echo (wp_head()); made a difference.
I will see if the blog can “hold” a few days, and then it will mean that you fixed the bug!
I will keep you posted on that.
The error message actually came back only about 2 days after I uninstalled and re-installed the plugin, and not immediately afterwards.
Dear Kyle
unfortunately my blog is down again. The modification I made in line 1889 from echo wp_head(); to echo(wp_head()); did apparently not fix the problem.
The curious thing is also that this problem occurs approximately two days after I uninstall-reinstall the plugin, and not straight after I reinstall it.
In your previous message you mentioned line 1888 echo “<html>\n<head>”; and I changed line 1889 echo wp_head();
Maybe I made a mistake here?
Line 1888 in version 3.1 is echo wp_head(); http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/tags/3.1/video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php#L1888
and line 1889 is echo "</head>\n<body>";
http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/tags/3.1/video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php#L1889
It’s strange that the code in your plugin is one line off. Have you tried completely removing all the plugin files and reinstalling? (note that there’s a bug in this version that will give you an error if you try to uninstall through WordPress)
