 * Hello,
 * I installed your plugin but after activating I get a fatal error. I have no more
   error details.
 * I use Sahifa theme, the latest version of WP in Spanish and also I use the plugin
   Polldaddy Polls & Ratings, although I disabled the comments rating options, but
   I need the polls.
 * Lets you screenshot of the error and hope you can help me.

 * Thanks in advance

 * Hey,
 * In this moment, no. Today I upgraded to 4.4 and the error persist.
 * I’ve noticed that in URL bar appears for a little moment a text that may be of
   interest to you.
 * This is:

 * To fix this, it would be helpful to see the actual error which prevents the activation.
 * Could you please add the following to your `wp-config.php` file:
 *     ```
       define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
       define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
       define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
       ```
   
 * If you then try to activate the plugin, it should create a file called `debug.
   log` in your `wp-content` directory.
 * If the file doesn’t get created, your server might be configured in a way to 
   prevent new file creation. If so, create an empty file called `debug.log` yourself
   in the `wp-content` directory, make sure it has write permissions set (CHMOD 
   644 should normally be ok) and try to activate the plugin again.
 * Open the file and it should contain some error message(s). Please paste the errors
   you find there in this thread.
 * Presuming this is a live site (not a test site), after you’ve done that, undo
   the changes which you made in the `wp-config.php` file and delete the `debug.
   log` file.
 * Hoping the actual error will help move this forward.
