Popularity-contest plugin: Fatal error on activation…

I thought this might help you though I get another error with this fix and did not solve my case.

Oops, here is the link.

This is modified version compatible with ver. 2.5

I just tried activating Popularity Contest 1.3b3 in WP 2.6.2 and received a fatal error as well. I managed to trace the errors and fix the problems.

Replace line 59 with these two lines:
$path = realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/../..’);
require($path . ‘/wp-blog-header.php’);

Replace line 1528 with:
if (isset($_GET[‘action’]) && $_GET[‘action’] == ‘activate’) {

I faced the same issue. I used the new version of the plugin provided by
yucameron and its working now.

Thanks yucameron
