 * Hello,
    i cannot _activate_ the plugin at [http://www.metalurgicavictor.com.ar](http://www.metalurgicavictor.com.ar).
 * The plugin version is Versión 1.5.4
    I am using wordpress 3.7.1 es_ES version.

    ERROR: C:\wamp\www\MV\wp-content\plugins\dmca-badge/C:\wamp\
   www\MV\wp-content\plugins\dmca-badge\dmca-badge-loader.php specified as a WP_Library_Manager
   loader file for the C:\wamp\www\MV\wp-content\plugins\dmca-badge\dmca-badge.php
   plugin does not exist.
 * What should i do ?
 * thanks you in advance
    Victor

 * It’s not working for me either but they don’t seem to care.

 * [@vnr001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vnr001/) and [@lemonpips](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lemonpips/)–
   I’m the original developer but responsibilities were turned over to someone else
   recently and then as I understand it he became unavailable. It appears [@vnr001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vnr001/)
   is on Windows; are you [@lemonpips](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lemonpips/)
   also on Windows?

 * Hi
 * I am able to activate the plugin but I get this message –
    The DMCA Protection
   Badge for WordPress plugin is now activated. Please configure it’s settings.
 * When I go to settings, it asks me to create an account which when done takes 
   me to wp-admin/options.php with a blank screen.
 * On the plugin list, the ‘Visit Plugin Site’ takes us to Google.com.
 * I am on Linux and WordPress 3.7.1
 * Can you please advise what can be done to avoid this message?
 * Regards

 * Mike Schinkel:
 *  It is on windows and linux. I have a local development version using WAMP and
   a live version usign LAMP at bluehost.com. Both have the same problem.

 * [@vnr001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vnr001/) Both generate the same
   message? The Linux site outputs this error message that includes reference to“
   C:\”?
 *     ```
       ERROR: C:\wamp\www\MV\wp-content\plugins\dmca-badge/C:\wamp\www\MV\wp-content\plugins\dmca-badge\dmca-badge-loader.php specified as a WP_Library_Manager loader file for the C:\wamp\www\MV\wp-content\plugins\dmca-badge\dmca-badge.php plugin does not exist.
       ```
   
 * I ask not to be facetious but instead to clarify if the problems are the same
   or the symptoms are the similar, but different problems. I’m pretty sure the 
   plugin has not been tested on Windows and given the errors is likely not to work
   on Windows. But for it not to work on Linux in exactly the same way is puzzling.
   Can you provide more information about what is happening on Linux?

 * [@vnr001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vnr001/) Thanks. I can’t help beyond
   that without working with you directly and since I’m not currently the developer
   on the project (even though I’m still listed) I’m going to have to bow out for
   now. Sorry I couldn’t help more.
