 * I have wordpress 2.7
 * I tried using the automatic installer thing with a few pluggins…
 * This is what I get (this is just one example):
 * Downloading plugin package from [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-downloadcounter.0.8.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-downloadcounter.0.8.zip)
 * Unpacking the plugin package
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare pclziputilpathreduction() (previously declared 
   in /home/<censored>/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/
   lib/pclzip.lib.php:5421) in /home/<censored>/public_html/wp-admin/includes/class-
   pclzip.php on line 5498
 * <censored> = obviously my username with my webhost.
 * So what is going on? yes I know I can install the plugins manually

 * Have seen that not all hosting situations are allowing the automatic upgrade 
   and automatic plugin install to work.
 * With that said, if you have the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin installed,
   deactive and delete it.

 * if I deactivate and delete the WAU plugin, will that mean for 2.7.1 and forwards
   I will still have to manual upgrades for WP?

 * WordPress has automatic upgrade ability for plugins and for core built-in. You
   really don’t need that plugin anymore.
