 * These are the errors I’m getting on another site I tried installing this on. 
   Could be because I have different permissions set up, or it’s because something
   changed in 1.7b. The first site I installed it on was 1.5b.

 * Hi,
 * Nothing in “copy code structure” has changed between versions, So it is clear
   that there must be a rights issue. If you have ftp access to the server files,
   put manually reading and writing rights to
    - byrev-wp-picshield.php
    - byrev-wp-image2url.php
    - watermark.png
 * for you, files is in **/home/** folder.
 * You could create this file, empty (no content), and copy them to the server manually.
   If you have write access, files will be re-written automatically by plugin when
   save the configuration.
 * function **file-put-contents** is used to write over the old file or create a
   new one.
