 * So the following scenario… (all plugins deactivated for testing, default 2015
   theme activated)
 * 1. Pixabay Images plugin added to WP Multisite installed, but NOT network activated.
   
   2. Subsites plugin activated on a few of the sites for testing. 3. Everything
   works fine.

 * This happened to me too. Rather I dig activate it for the network direct after
   download through the UI. Immediately the fatal error appeared on the network 
   admin pages.
 * However, the settings page and the Pixabay search button showed up on the website.
 * I could change the setting and search for images.
 * But when clicking to use one, I got an error message my user don’t have “edit
   permissions” to insert the image and thus I hit the wall.
 * This is with the current 2.5 version.

 * I believe, we’ve found the cause, but not actually seeing the bug on our test
   system, we cannot confirm it. So, here’s a new version that should work for the
   network installations. It would be great if somebody could test it:
