 * Please put the files in a plugin directory named `ar_gwa` or many problems will
   come up.
 * Also please post your WP version with any other problems. This plugin works best
   with WP2.5

 * hey thanks for the quick response. My wp version is 2.5.1. But before I upgraded
   from 2.5 to 2.5.1, I tried exactly what you recommended with creating a dir named
   ar_gwa in the plugins dir. Unfortunately I am getting the same error in 2.5.1
   as I did in 2.5. It doesn’t seem like anyone is having this trouble but me huh?

 * That is usually produced by a code formatting error like an extra comma or missing
   semi-colon or bracket? I would expect everybody would have this problem?

 * If you are having this problem please try the [plugin file here](http://cookies.getwebactive.com/downloads/ar_gwa_2-0-2.zip)
   instead.
 * Just replace the `ar_gwa.php` in the plugin directory with the one linked above.
 * Very few of you have had this problem but if it works let me know and I’ll make
   a revision.
 * Good Luck.

 * pomspot,
 * I can install on Wp 2.5.1
 * But the problem happen to me, when subscriber want to subscribe, the system stating
   error like this
 *     ```
       Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/bypassui/public_html/onlinemoneycoaching.com/wp-content/plugins/autoresponder-gwa/ar_gwa.php on line 87
       ```
   
 * So the system cannot unsubscribe them.

   using 3 column theme.

 * I can’t get the plugin to to install either… and none of the suggestions here
   seem to be working for me. I get these errors:
 * With the old file:
    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal
   error. Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION
   or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/content/n/t/h/nthnlsmmrs/html/freetrafficworks/
   wp-content/plugins/ar_gwa/ar_gwa.php on line 1097
 * and the new one:
    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal 
   error. Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION
   or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/content/n/t/h/nthnlsmmrs/html/freetrafficworks/
   wp-content/plugins/ar_gwa/ar_gwa.php on line 1112
 * I’m using the latest version of wordpress: 2.6
    It doesn’t seem to be acting 
   up because of other plugins either… I can’t get it to activate even when it’s
   the only plugin installed on the blog.

 * Alright everyone, after much research and some good hard digging, I managed to
   figure out that it’s a php version problem.
 * This plugin requires PHP 5 in order to run properly.
 * If you’re running on Godaddy, you need to make sure that you’re using configuration
   2.0 (which allows for both php 4 and 5 to run at the same time)… however, you
   also need to modify your httaccess file to include these lines:
 * AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
    AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4
 * And that cleared it right up for me.
    Now I’m off to see if the plugin actually
   behaves as it should under this new configuration.

 * Hi all,
 * I apologize for the number and frequency of the updates but I do try to offer
   new features as well as the bug fixes whenever I release an updated version.
 * For this plugin to operate it relies a lot on your server configuration to be
   correct. As you notify me of problems I can fix them for you (and everyone else.)
 * If you have problems with this or any Code4Cookies plugins, with one click you
   can create a [free WordPress blog with autoresponder](http://freeautoresponder.biz)
   and all our plugins pre-installed.
