The issue actually had to do with some core files not being replaced correctly by the web host’s tech staff. Once they updated the files, activation was no problem. Thanks for the quick reply.

Thank you for your response. You will have to forgive my poor math skills (clearly incorrectly figured). I had worked almost 90 hrs last week and was not in a coherent frame of mind to be making such accusations. Frankly, I was exhausted and irritated…a lame excuse, I realize.

Yes, I’m aware that it is possible to turn off auto updates. But this does nothing other than create a “don’t ask, don’t tell” scenario, which is not in the best interest of my clients’ websites or security as a whole.

I have learned a few things over the past many years concerning plugins:

1. I NEVER install a plugin that is not compatible with the most current WP version.

2. I am reticent to install a plugin by a “new developer”. I typically look at a developer’s other plugins to see if they continue to be updated in a timely manner.

3. If available, I often resort to “pro” (paid) versions of essential plugins, as there is a much higher percentage that these plugins will be maintained and upgraded.

4. I periodically check all installations (dozens and dozens) for plugin updates and implement them as needed.

In retrospect, my initial posting was like a “little kid throwing a fit because someone took their candy and gave it back with dirt all over it”. ?? The posting was unprofessional and the data unsupported (incorrect), regardless of the circumstances that produced it.

Thanks cyfocus. Updating to PHP Version 5.5 rectified my issues with the overloaded function (at GoDaddy).

Thank you SO SO much for discovering what the problem was. I’m a web developer and work with various IT staff a lot. Your response time, willingness to help and demeanor has been the best! Again, thank you for your fabulous service. Five stars for you!

Note: The Category export does work….but obviously doesn’t provide the information needed.

Perfect Sumobi! It worked beautifully!

This is great! However, could you please tell me WHICH file the php code should be inserted into and where?

Thanks so much!

For anyone who wants to know, that was NOT a hacking issue. I was wondering if it wasn’t the case, since I found no indications of hacking within WordPress files or the database itself.

If you receive a similar fatal error, your PHP version is not the most updated one (probably Version 4).

While I did backup all previous WP files via FTP (kept the database but also backed it up), and then obliterated the entire old WordPress installation BEFORE I found this out, it probably wasn’t actually necessary. However, the client WAS using an old version of WordPress, which is now updated (obviously good).

Just thought I should provide an update for other users.

I, too, am experiencing the exact same problem! The main domain with WPMU (I’m using sub-folders) appears to be able to function with WP125 just fine. But none of my secondary domains will “save” any Ad data entered.

Thanks!

Zoonini –

Oh MY Gosh, I feel so stupid! Of course! What a simple solution…MUCH easier to mess around with one line of CSS code and an image. Thank you so VERY much! You’re awesome! It now looks perfect. ??

I,too, had the exact same problem and it couldn’t be repaired. ?? Had to restore my entire database. This does little to instill any confidence in the plugin and have removed it from my installation.

Can you use the short code in templates? I tried it and, as torndownunit experienced, I end up with [get_posts] text instead of the listing.

Ideas?

I am also experiencing the same problem. I have only one form and none of the email addresses are duplicated. The website is live and it’s getting be a bit of a problem.

Thanks for any help,

Kelly
