M – deleted them both again, waited about 5 hours, reinstalled Portable PMA and it worked. installed but didn’t activate Shortcode Exec PHP, then commented out the Check_prerequisites (since i know my config meets them) function call in shortcode-exec-php.php to hopefully prevent it from throwing the error again. Then activated Shortcode Exec PHP and everything working fine.

Absolutely no idea why waiting several hours made the difference, but for some reason Portable PMA cleared the error value during that time. I will continue digging into the PMA code and let you know if i find out what is happening.

yes, i agree. which is why i posted the question on the Portable PMA support board.

if my WordPress environment was not properly configured, then Shortcode Exec PHP would throw the error every time. it doesn’t. it works fine 95% of the time. However, it occasionally throws that error.

I have. Shortcode Exec PHP runs fine whether I have Portable PMA activated or not.

Shortcode Exec PHP originates the problem, because its shortcode-exec-php-class.php script incorrectly throws the error to begin with.

Seriously – anybody? when this happened two weeks ago, i uninstalled both Shortcode Exec PHP and Portable PMA, reinstalled both, and it worked fine until today. Now i get the exact same error.

**Even when I deactivate and delete Shortcode Exec PHP, Portable PMA gives me the error “Shortcode Exec PHP requires at least WordPress 2.8″**

I am still running WP 3.4, still have not made any other changes.

thanks
