Fatal error when trying to Activate

    I have just updated the WP Business Intelligence Lite plugin from the WordPress website. It appears to load ok, but when I try to activate it I get “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”

    I am running WordPress 4.9.5–en_GB . I cannot roll back to the old version of WP Business Intelligence Lite as I usually update from the WordPress website directly.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Please update to the newest version (3.0.2). This issue should be fixed. Please let me know if you have any other issues.

    Hi Kenton, website OPK (https://opistobranquis.info/en) running on WordPress 4.9.5
    I have encountered the same fatal error when activating version 3.0.1.
    I tried to delete wpbi_ prefixed tables, uninstall the 3.0.1 plugin and installing 3.0.1 anew, but the fatal error persisted.
    I deleted all this again, then restored version 1.6.7 from a backup, then it was worse, it rendered a error 500 and avoided me entering the admin site. Renaming the wp_business_intelligence plugin folder restored the admin site.
    Deleted everything (wpbi tables and plugin folder) again, installing the 3.0.2 plugin anew and I cannot activate because of “fatal error”, again.
    Your plugin is extremely useful, but I don’t know how to restore its former funcionality. You demmand for further error information, but which log do you need to know what’s happening here? Alternatively, is there a tool to completely clear all WPBI tables and configurations to retry a new installation as if it was never previously installed? Perhaps that would solve the problem. Thank you very much.

    Hi,

    Sorry to hear about this issue I would have expected removing all the old tables would have fixed the issue.

    The PHP error logs on what I need. Sometimes these will be included in the apache logs but it depends on your setup. Alternatively, you can enable debugging see: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Debugging_in_WordPress and send me errors from there.

    If you’d like, you can email me [email protected] and we can setup a call and work through this.

    Hi,
    tried to update today to 3.0.2 and still got the error:

    Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1293 Incorrect table definition; there can be only one TIMESTAMP column with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in DEFAULT or ON UPDATE clause in /var/www/XYZ/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-business-intelligence-lite/vendor/robmorgan/phinx/src/Phinx/Db/Adapter/PdoAdapter.php:134 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/XYZ/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-business-intelligence-lite/vendor/robmorgan/phinx/src/Phinx/Db/Adapter/PdoAdapter.php(134): PDO->exec('CREATE TABLEi…’) #1 /var/www/XYZ/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-business-intelligence-lite/vendor/robmorgan/phinx/src/Phinx/Db/Adapter/MysqlAdapter.php(294): Phinx\Db\Adapter\PdoAdapter->execute(‘CREATE TABLEi...') #2 /var/www/XYZ/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-business-intelligence-lite/vendor/robmorgan/phinx/src/Phinx/Db/Adapter/AdapterWrapper.php(351): Phinx\Db\Adapter\MysqlAdapter->createTable(Object(Phinx\Db\Table)) #3 /var/www/XYZ/httpdo in /var/www/XYZ/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-business-intelligence-lite/vendor/robmorgan/phinx/src/Phinx/Db/Adapter/PdoAdapter.php on line 134

    I’m on a subsite of a multisite (PHP 7.1.x).

    Best, Daniel
