Fatal error at activation

Hello Linda,

Which version of PHP are you using?

This plugin is using functionality that was introduced in PHP 5.2.1. Your version of PHP must be older than that. Hopefully you don’t have a version older than 5.2.0, because we do not support versions of PHP that are older than that.

I made a fix that will allow the plugin to run on 5.2.0. Assuming your version of PHP is at version 5.2.0 or above, you can try again in an hour or so.

Hi Kevin,
I have this error on activation:
The Google PHP API Library needs the CURL PHP extension

I have PHP v5.2.0-8+etch15
what should I do?

thanks!

Do you have root access to your system? You might need to recompile PHP to include CURL support, or install additional support packages (e.g. php5-curl on Ubuntu.)

no access… i’m in hosting…

Hello Kharlo,

Sorry, the plugin won’t work unless your hoster upgrades your PHP installation to support libcurl.

Fortunately, the plugin is not the only way to verify your site with Google. There are several manual verification methods you can use to verify your blog at https://www.google.com/webmasters/verification/ .

There are also several other verification plugins available for WP that don’t rely on web service calls, and therefore shouldn’t require CURL libraries.

I hope that helps!

Can someone help me with this error message? I am using PHP 5.0

Thank You!

FTP into your site (or use whatever file management application your host provides) and delete the wp-content/plugins/official-google-site-verification-plugin folder.
