 * Hello. The plugin is broken and returns the following error when trying to activate
   it..
 *     ```
       Warning: require_once(wppa-lasten-widget.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/ikinngut.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-photo-album-plus/wppa-init.php on line 19
   
       Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'wppa-lasten-widget.php' (include_path='.') in /var/www/ikinngut.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-photo-album-plus/wppa-init.php on line 19

 * delete the plugin and re-install as if it is a new plugin. You will loose no 
   data or settings. The file is there, so the update / install failed, just retry.

 * So the galleries created will not be deleted?

 * No. even though wp warns you, there is no de-activation or deletion hook; everything
   stays there.

 * Okay, sounds good, then I’ll try that.
    Thanks for the reply.
