 * If you have other plugins I would try deactivating all of them and then test 
   if the one currently having an issue works. If it works you can then deduct which
   plugin is causing the conflict. If it still doesn’t work then, I would check 
   to see if there is support offered by the developer of the plugin. If not, then
   try the plugin forum on WordPress to see if anyone else is having similar issues.

 * Yes I have tried deactivating rest of my plugins and activate ajde newsletter
   only,the Error seems only when I activate ajde newsletter plugin.
    Plus I tried
   seeking help from the developer support, so far no response or any feedback from
   the developer .
 * I think you are right I should try posting it in the WP Plugin forum .
 * So should I make this post as resolved and post the same one in Plugin forum?
   
   Thanks a lot for you help!
