Plugin Activation Error

Hello,

I’m sorry you are experiencing this problem.

To start, let’s have you try a couple of things, see if they work, and then tell me what the results are.

First, deactivate all of your plugins except tablemaster and see if the problem still occurs.

Second, if the problem still occurs, switch your theme to the 2016 theme and leave all plugins deactivated except for tablemaster.

Third, please check to see what version of PHP your host server is running. And then check which version of PHP the other server (the server where the activate error does not occur) is running and let me know what you find.

Is there a way that I could access your site and see the error? Can you send me a link to it?

And lastly, is there a way that I could download your site and test it myself? For example, if I gave you access to my google drive, could you zip up your site and copy it to my google drive?

All of this information will be very helpful to me. Please keep in mind though, this is a regular work day for me, so I will not be able to do any real investigation until I get home later this evening. But hopefully your answers to these questions will help to pin point the problem.

Thanks for your reply.
I found out that the problem was due to PHP version. The code is written for PHP5 and I was using PHP7. As in the activation part, you use mysql_connect and now you have to use mysqli_connect and same apply at other place.
By the way thanks for your help.

@vmallder,

PHP7 does reqiure msqli_connect()… if you can test for PHP version, or function availability, and offer the correct connect command, it would probably work, right?

Should we edit your code if using PHP7? Can you release a PHP7 version?

I’m multi-site, too, if that matters (activate at network or site level)…
