# Error message whan activating plugins.

 * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-message-whan-activating-plugins/)
 * The following error messages appear all over the browser window as soon as I 
   activate the plugin, on every page, including the dashboard.
    I contacted the
   hosting service and they told me to add FTP info to the wp-config, which I did,
   and re-install the plugin, which I also did. The problem remains. I need to fix
   this as soon as possible. Please help?

 * Dont know if this will help but i had a similar problem once. In your FTP client
   follow the directory it is giving and verify all the locations are there.
 * also what plug in are you using?

 * This particular plugin is WP e-commerce, but the same problem happened with other
   plugins I tried to install.

 * Take your FTP info out of wp-config.php unless you absolutely need it. It represents
   a potential security risk to your server. Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    The hosting company told me to add ftp information in the config, which
   did not solve the problem.
 * When I deactivate the plugin, the problem vanishes. I activate and it comes back,
   so it is definitely the plugin .This is the only plugin I really need in the 
   site right now. The other ones were alternatives I was trying, but the problem
   happens there too.
 * I will look into theme options but my partners simply love the one we are currently
   using.

 * I’ve changed themes, I tried everything down to uninstall and delete, and make
   a clean installation or WordPress and then the plugin.
 * The problem persists.
    The eCommerce support is non-existent. I’ve been trying
   for several days to get help through their forum. The only support they offer
   is for the Gold Cart plugin.
 * I wouldn’t mind paying for a premium version plugin but considering the absolute
   fiasco of the free version, and the lack of support for it, I can’t justify spending
   the money.
