    I can access the settings from the WordPress panel. However I can’t access the settings from the Plugin page to ID the number of posts to show, get the shortcode, etc. That is where I get the do not have permissions” error.

    Thanks

    So that means you can’t access the widget page, because that’s where all those options are located: within the dragged SRP widget.

    Ok… does that tell you anything about how I can gain access?
    Thanks

    The bug is at line 117 in special-recent-posts.php:

    $settings_link = sprintf( '<a href="options-general.php?page=%s">%s</a>', plugin_basename(__DIR__) . '/lib/lib-admin.php', __('Settings') );

    Should be:

    $settings_link = sprintf( '<a href="options-general.php?page=%s">%s</a>', dirname(plugin_basename( __FILE__ )) . '/lib/lib-admin.php', __('Settings') );

    Because the PHP constant __DIR__ is not available until PHP 5.3.

    See https://www.ads-software.com/tags/_dir_ for other plugins with this error.
