 * Hello!
 * I’m having big problems installing any plugin on my site. When I activate a plugin
   the whole site shuts down with a fatal error.
 * An Example: vipers_videoquicktags 3.0.0:
 * Warning: main(resources/buttonsnap.php): failed to open stream: No such file 
   or directory in /home/students/andmell/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vipers_videoquicktags/
   vipers_videoquicktags.php on line 13
 * Warning: main(): Failed opening ‘resources/buttonsnap.php’ for inclusion (include_path
   =”) in /home/students/andmell/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vipers_videoquicktags/
   vipers_videoquicktags.php on line 13
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function: buttonsnap_separator() in /home/students/
   andmell/public_html/wp-content/plugins/vipers_videoquicktags/vipers_videoquicktags.
   php on line 24
 * I’ve tried over 20 plugins and all of them can’t be that buggy, something is 
   wrong with my site.
 * Thanks for any help.
 * -Undertow

 * As a generalized FYI, wp isn’t particularly happy with subdomains and redirects.
   I’ve tried about a million different things over time, and not once have I been
   able to get wp to work properly setup on a subdomain. Plugins, posts, permalinks,
   all of it’s problematic.

 * Just for understanding purposes only..but, what exactly do you mean by “subdomains”
   Vicki? Cause I made up two already, and installed WordPress on them.. =/

 * Running My 2.1 alpha2 on this subdomain name here, with plugins:
    [http://212.vindictivebastard.net/](http://212.vindictivebastard.net/)
 * Maybe the “subdomains” you’re talking about, are setup a little differently then
   the ones I made up..but, they are “classified” as subdomains lol! =) I dunno..
   I just woke up a few minutes ago..so, I might be a little space-cadetish yet 
   haha.. =P

 * Maybe it’s going to work better in 2.1 – I’ve tried it with 1.5 and 2.0, then
   gave up.
 * And it may have something to do with how different hosts handle the redirects
   as well.

 * Oh ok..well, I didn’t wanna give this one subdomain name out really.. but, it’s
   running 2.0.2 currently.. =) (No, this isn’t really, the theme I’ve been working
   on lol, this was a “testing/starting” grounds though..)

   as well._
 * Ah, yeah..that’s possible. =) 😉

 * That subdomain will be removed though, eventually..and I’ll put up another one
   later..with 2.0.4. =)

 * Tried another host, without subdomain. Every plugin installs with no problem 
   at all 😀
