# Exec-PHP Error Messages

 * Here’s the situation:
 * I downloaded the Exec-PHP plug in as I was told I would need it for a code I’m
   trying to use on my site. First, I manually installed it through the FTP and 
   when I activated the plug in, the top of every page was this lovely message:
 * Exec-PHP WYSIWYG Conversion Warning. Saving this article will render all contained
   PHP code permanently unuseful. Even if you are saving this article through the
   Code editor. You can turn off this warning in your user profile. Ignore this 
   warning in case this article does not contain PHP code. Read the Exec-PHP documentation
   if you are unsure what to do next.
 * So I read the document and what confused me is the part that says I can change
   the settings so that the message doesn’t appear but that can cause problems. 
   So I deactivated the plug in.
 * Then, (thinking I’d just screwed something up when I installed it myself) I went
   through Plug-In Browser/Installer and when I went to install this plug-in, I 
   was given this message:
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare pclziputilpathreduction() as it was previously 
   declared in WordPress Automatic Update.
 * So, I searched the help forum for the solution and it told me that the two plug
   ins do not work together. It suggested I de-activate automatic upgrade and then
   activate the Exec-PHP. Is this really necessary or is there another way to go
   about this? The problem is that the whole reason I did the automatic update plug-
   in is because I, nor any of my crew, know how to back-up a website prior to upgrading.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

 * And actually I just tried de-activating automatic upgrade and then activating
   the Exec-PHP plug-in and the page I needed it for worked, but I still received
   the “Exec-PHP WYSIWYG Conversion Warning”. I assume this is because I did not
   go in and delete the automatic upgrade plug-in?
 * I apologize that this is very long but this is my first website and I’m very,
   very confused. I thank you in advance.
