Upgrade Problem 1.5.2 to Latest Version

Its a theme issue. Maybe its just time to change. It would still be nice to know. Thanks

You need to edit index.php in your theme. There’s a line there which is trying to load the plugin, and as it’s not there any more, you’re getting the error message.

Make sure you keep a copy of the file as it is, then remove the line that refers to jal_democracy(). If you’re not sure what to edit, copy the contents of the index.php file to the wordPress pastebin – you’ll be given a unique link when you do that, which you can post back here. We’ll be able to tell you exactly what to remove then.

For future reference, a good way to avoid problems caused by removing plugins, instead of using a simple call like this:

<?php jal_democracy(); ?>

try this:

<?php if (function_exists(jal_democracy)) jal_democracy(); ?>

That way, if you disable or delete the plugin, your blog won’t break.

Best reply I’ve ever gotten here. Very helpful. Thanks!
