HELP with FATAL ERROR please please

Hi taucherphil,

I did a little homework. The name of the plugin is Aeytimes Product or Service Feedback / Comments Widget. For an immediate fix, browse to your plugin folder via FTP and rename the folder aeytimes-product-or-service-feedback to something else such as aeytimes-product-or-service-feedback-1. It doesn’t really matter what you rename it. This has the effect of deactivating the plugin.

I had a look at the plugin and the permanent fix is easy – the author made a typo. Open the file called aeytimes-product.php in a plain text editor such as Notepad and close to the top you will see the following …

class AeytimesProductRSS extends WP_Widget {
	function AeytimesProductRSS() {
		$widget_ops = array( 'classname' => 'aeytimes', 'description' => 'A widget displaying the latest comments of your idea on AeyTimes.' );
		$control_ops = array( 'width' => 300, 'height' => 350, 'id_base' => 'aeytimes-product' );
		$this->WP_Widget('aeytimes-product', 'Aeytimes Product or Service Widget', $widget_ops, $control_ops);
	}

Pay attention to the above line that reads function AeytimesProductRSS()

Now, scroll to the bottom of that file and you’ll see the following …

function register_AeytimesSiteRSSWidget(){
	register_widget('AeytimesSiteRSS');
}

add_action('init', 'register_AeytimesSiteRSSWidget', 1);

Pay attention to the above line that reads register_widget('AeytimesSiteRSS')

Do you see what he has done? A simple typo. The block of code above should read …

function register_AeytimesProductRSSWidget(){
	register_widget('AeytimesProductRSS');
}

add_action('init', 'register_AeytimesProductRSSWidget', 1);

Simply make the change I outlined above, upload the file and rename that folder back to its original name.

Or, if you don’t want to muck about editing files I uploaded an edited version of the aeytimes-product.php to the WordPress Pastebin which you can download here.

Delete the original aeytimes-product.php file and upload the one I supplied. Then rename the folder aeytimes-product-or-service-feedback-1 back to its original.

Thank you sooo much!
amazing. i went for the quick rescue first and changed the folder name. lucky me – its working again. thank you sooo much. for taking the time and answering in such detail. i will try the rest as well. but not today. haha. again thank you.

You’re welcome. Glad to see everything is working. On a side note, I notified the plugin author and pointed him to this thread. Hopefully the file will be corrected soon.

Thanks for letting us know. The plugin has been fixed.
