Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

It sounds like the file might be corrupted. Can you try downloading and reinstalling the entire plugin?

Ya, I tried a few times. Both via wp-admin and wp-cli. Same result.

[vmg@SWITCHWP wordpress]> wp plugin install p2-resolved-posts --activate

Is there a hash of the zip file?

Can you try manually downloading?

Same result. Oddly, attempting to activate the plugin using wp-cli didn’t produce any errors even though it failed to activate. When I used wp-admin the same error was printed at the top of the plugins screen.

On a single blog all versions of the plugin activate fine for me.

But on multisite, I get the same error with .2, .3 and dev versions.

Crazy talk. There’s only 751 lines in p2-resolved-posts.php

Joe, want to ping me on Skype when you have a moment so we can track this down?

Issue was the server had short_tags turned off ..

lines 521 and 591 of p2-resolved-posts.php use the short php open tag <? instead of the long tag <?php

You should probably use <?php for better portability.

Aha! Thanks for tracking it down, dkukral. I’ll have a fix for it shortly.
