    Hi!
    I wanted to test your plugin but unfortunately the plugin cannot be activated. After installation, the “activate” button loads endlessly and the following error message appears at the top: Activation failed: {“status”:true, “data”:[], “message”: “OK”}

    I have been working with wordpress for a long time and have therefore gone through the classic troubleshoot methods:

    1. reinstalled WP – i used the lates version (6.5.3)
    2. deactivated all plugins
    3. reinstalled Tagembed again – even manually.
    4. activated debug mode, this gives the following output:

    5. I kinda dont understand the deprecated-notes because everything is updated and running in the latest version. I have nevertheless downgraded the PHP version from 8.2 to 8.1. However, the same error message still appears.
    6. There are no entries in the apache error log.

    When I go to the plugin overview and try to activate the plugin again, this time I get the error message “The plugin cannot be activated because it generates a fatal error.”

    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • So, I’m having the same issue, can’t activate the plugin, nothing in error log, running php7.4.

    I’m getting the same error on activation of Tagembed v5.6 from 4 hours ago:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a?fatal error.

    This is on a completely up-to-date WordPress installation with:

    • WordPress 6.5.4
    • PHP 8.2.18
    • Tagembed 5.6

    and a WP_MEMORY_LIMIT of 512M.

    As appears to be typical for the WordPress plugin activation errors, there’s nothing in the error or debug logs about the problem.

    I’m not sure it is much additional data, but looking at the code in the debugger on activating the Tagembed plugin, the last line of code I can step through is the “exit” statement in “plugins/tagembed-widget/helper/helper.php”:

    function __tagembed__exitWithSuccess($data = null) {
        echo wp_json_encode(['status' => (bool) true, 'data' => (array) $data, 'message' => (string) 'OK']);
        exit;
    }

    After that, it jumps to the WP_Fatal_Error_Handler handle() function.

    For the record, the new Tagembed 5.7 released today does NOT fix this problem (but it didn’t claim to).
