Hi, thank you for your prompt reply..

I did not have simple forum installed. This was a first-time installation. I chose to upload the zip file  – downloaded from your website to my hard drive then upload via WP admin.

“I need to have simple press directory in plug-ins?”

– I was under the impression that your plug-in created necessary directories within wp-content folders as required upon successful installation, am I wrong?

WP informs me the plug in has successfully been installed but when I choose to activate the plugin I get  – This plugin does not have a valid header.

I hope this explains it more clearly.

I welcome your suggestions.

Best regards,

Eddie

I understand your issue. it should create what it needs but the wp zip loader has been problematic..

my question was after it said it was done, did the wp-content/plugins/simple-press folder get created…

the invalid header is normally from a corrupted upload… do you know what you php.ini max file upload setting is?

so I would remove it (if its there) and try again… but personally, I would ftp everything up instead of using the wp thing…

I’ve ftp’d the plugin, the old version gone and still get this error:  Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sp_get_option() (previously declared in /problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/farr/public_html/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/lib/template-tags-deprecated.php:236) in /problem-with-post-edit-buttonome/farr/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-press/sp-api/sp-api-primitives.php on line 91

It appears to have a conflict the The Events Calendar plugin…..I need both.

egads… not much we can do about that… surprised it hasnt happend before… but we are not likely to rename all our stuff…

the name of that folder – deprecated – suggests it might be ok to remove it perhaps?

I can try another events plugin…I got that header error first, got that fixed then that error came up.  Love the new version of SP!

thanks! its unfortunate, but I guess lucky, it hasn’t happened before.
