Hi - I'm brand new to SimplePress and forums in general.  I installed SimplePress on my wordpress blog and it said it had an "Invalid Header", but it's in my admin bar and I "installed" from there "just fine", it seems.  However, now I"m trying to install plugins and it's coming up with this:

 

"The package could not be installed.  No valid plugins were found"

 

Any suggestions?  If using simplepress involves FTP, etc, I guess I just won't be able to use it.. so I"d rather know now before I go any further - thanks in advance for your time and patience.

You need to initially install SP plugins using ftp just like you had to with core WordPress. Once installed they will be updated via the Wp update tools.

Hi I've just downloaded simple-press-5.0.0-7960 . I'm running WordPress 3.3.1.

I first tried to up-load and activate thbe plug-in - but got the "Invalid Header" error (as above).

After reading this thread I unpacked the zip file and ftp'd it onto my site and then tried to activate it - I then get the folowing error

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sp_get_option() (previously declared in /problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/umcollab/public_html/walk/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/lib/template-tags-deprecated.php:236) in /problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/umcollab/public_html/walk/wp-content/plugins/simple-press/sp-api/sp-api-primitives.php on line 91

any sugestions appreciated.

... tried removing all Simple Press files and re-installing - get same error on activation ...  frown

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sp_get_option() (previously declared in /problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/umcollab/public_html/walk/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/lib/template-tags-deprecated.php:236) in /problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/umcollab/public_html/walk/wp-content/plugins/simple-press/sp-api/sp-api-primitives.php on line 91

 

presumably this is some conflict with "the events calendar" plugin - is there a way of preventing this?

I've jjust discovered anotherf thread which confirms my suspicions ...

http://support.makedesignnotwa.....get_option

 

two plugins are using the same function name - sp_get_option()  - presumably I can rename this in one of the plugin's code - but is there a more elegant solution?

it is rare but it can happen of course.
What is aid on the other thread - and nobody seemed to take any notice - was that the message says the file in question is 'template-tags-deprecated.php' which means old and should no longer be used. So if you are not using the can they not be removed or renamed?

You will need to set the correct permissions on and under the WP wp-content folder on your server. if you do not know how to do that then ti would be best to ask your host support to do it for you.
