 * Hello,
 * I wanted to test your plugin 1.1.7 on local first, but after install, wp dashboard
   sends this message “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a **fatal
   error**.” In local, the SSL is set to “trusted” to bypass browser connection 
   warnings. No https but it usually works with all plugins. Thank you
 * WP 6.9.7

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the report — it’s not an SSL issue; activation doesn’t touch HTTPS.
 * Could you check your PHP version? Tools → Site Health → Info → Server.
 * If it’s 8.1.x, that’s the cause and it’s our mistake: 1.1.7 is labelled as
   requiring
   PHP 8.1, but a bundled library actually needs 8.2. Switching yourlocal stack 
   to PHP 8.2+ will let it activate right away, and we’ve correctedthe requirement
   for the next release.
 * If you’re already on 8.2+, add these to wp-config.php, retry the activation,
   
   and send us the last lines of wp-content/debug.log:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
       define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
       define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
       ```
   
 * Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for writing in.
 * Best regards,

 * Hi Charles,
 * 1.1.8 is out — the fix is live on wordpress.org. Updating (or installing
 * fresh) should let it activate cleanly on your Local site with no changes
 * needed on your end.
 * Thanks again for the debug log; it made this a quick fix.
 * Best regards,
 * PushAI Support
