In reply to: [Metaphor Widgets] Installation fails on wp 3.5.1Thanks for the prompt reply; I was about to ask this question on http://metaphorcreations.ticksy.com/, but this definitely short cuts that!
Yep, it’s Zen. Great to hear that the plug-in isn’t an absolute requirement. Yeah, it’d definitely be good to remove the requirement in the next push. Likewise, it may be good to indicate what version(s) of php this works on – I haven’t ran into any other problems with another other plugins (out of about 12). I’ll make the php update(s) you advised above, to get rid of the warning message.
However, like a number of bugs I’ve worked on in other projects, if you want to get to the bottom of it, I can definitely give you admin/ssh access. I have no doubt that this is working in literally thousands of other deployments. It’s interesting that a vanilla EC2 instance using the latest apache/php/wordpress combo would exhibit this issue, but as it goes sometimes…
I’m not sure if there’s a way you can ‘PM’ me or not – but I’d love to help you get to the bottom of this, if you have time to look into it further. Given that it’s not required though, I’ll mark this as resolved. Thanks again.

In reply to: [Metaphor Widgets] Installation fails on wp 3.5.1So this is a [stock, 64-bit] Amazon EC2 AMI image that I literally created on AWS yesterday. Sure enough, by default, it uses php 5.3. Amazingly, upgrading is a huge pain in the ass… I just finished that now. You can check out my info page: http://www.thedesigninja.com/info.php.
The version checks out. I just reinstalled the plug-in and it’s the same problem:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /var/www/html/thedesigninja.com/wp-content/plugins/widgets/includes/settings.php on line 437
So upgrading didn’t help. Are you actually using any new 5.4 constructs? I’m just a day in to getting a new site up and running, and don’t have any meaningful content up, so if you would be willing to take a look, or tell me where I can find more log files, etc., I’d appreciate it.
Although completely orthogonal to you and your plug-ins, which I’m sure are fine most of the time, a theme I purchased requires this plug-in, which is frustrating, given that I can’t get it to work.
