 * I had the same error message as above.
    I guess after a month & not even 1 answer
   it’s best to delete this “plugin” ….

 * If you require assistance then, as per the [Forum Welcome](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post),
   please post your own topic instead of tagging onto someone else’s topic.
 * I am now closing this month old topic as it references an older version of WordPress.
