    Here’s the error I get when attempting the activation:
    “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 1″

    Checked with host support, and they say “it’s a plugin problem.”

    Site where I am attempting activation is https://sjohnsoncreative.com

    Suggestions?
    Thanks!

    That was it. I just posted the update (1.6.33).

    Thanks for all the work on this folks! I will give it a go again.

    I get this error in 1.6.33, after updating WordPress to 3.3.2. The exact message I get is:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error. Table ‘educatio_wordpress.wp_fm_data_1’ doesn’t exist

    I’m guessing it’s trying to create a table prefixed by wp_, but my tables aren’t prefixed with this. I tried re-updating WordPress and reinstalling the plugin. Any ideas on what else I could try?

    If you changed the prefix after installing the plugin then you will have to manually rename the tables. This is a huge oversight on my part but unfortunately this bug is deeply ingrained in the plugin.

    I was sure I hadn’t changed the table prefixes, but actually I installed a security plugin (WSD security) and that did change them after I installed Form Manager. That might be an issue for anyone else using that plugin. Thanks for your response, I’ll change the tables manually as you suggest.
