 * Hi, I have installed this plugin both via the add new & upload methods. When 
   I try to activate it it fails with the following message ..
    Fatal error: Call
   to undefined function wpstg_log() in …/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-staging/
   includes/install.php on line 152
 * Please advise.
 * Thank you
    Ivan

 * Hi Ivan
 * I had the same problem as you. It took me hours to figure out where the problem
   was. My problem was caused by a Plugin. I use WPTouch pro and have a license 
   for an older version than they actually have on the market. So what happened 
   is that they deactivated my license for the older version. As soon as they reactivated
   it, the error message for WP Staging disappeared. So check your plugins – my 
   advice :-).
 * Cheers
    Rita

 * Thanks Rita, will try that .. I see the plugin says its not tested with 4.7.3,
   but on the plugin information/Description page it says compatible up to 4.7.3.
   
   Are you aware of any risks in using it with 4.7.3?
 * regards
    Ivan

 * I am using it with 4.7.3. I didn’t have any problems with it…

 * great, thanks again. Seems the best is to disable all plugins before running 
   it.
    Also had some issues with folder permissions and some files not copied, 
   even though others were copied in the same folder. Resolved by manually copying
   the missing files and setting folders to full read/write … obviously not ideal
   from a security point of view.

 * Hmmm, just tried it on a second site on the same server with ALL the plugins 
   disabled and it still failed with the same error … really odd as it worked eventually
   on my first site.
