Fatal error now happening in admin page

    Very nice sticky notes plugin. We use it to put review comments throughout a site, to communicate review points and feedback.

    Was working fine in 2015, then just recently (Feb 2016) it stopped working! I recently did all updates… to WordPress 4.4.2, to current “X Theme” and all associated plugins. When clicking the “WP Sticky Notes” tab in the left sidebar of admin interface, I was getting a fatal error due to this line in plugin.php:
    require_once( __DIR__ . “/pages/admin_main.php” );
    Although it’s probably not the best fix, I used a similar line from later in the file, and repaired this include of admin_main.php like this:
    require_once( ABSPATH . “/wp-content/plugins/wp-sticker-notes” . “/pages/admin_main.php” );

    Now the plugin works again! Don’t know what the problem was. Maybe even a hiccup in my hosting, rather than a problem with recent WordPress and theme updates?

    Anyone else experiencing this problem? Any other suggestions for how I should fix this? Any alternative tweak to the code, rather than using ABSPATH and specifying so much of the path explicitly?
