[Plugin: OptionTree] Fatal Error with declaring this plugin

Thanks to both Derek and Curt (Cudazi) for responding so quickly and for talking through possible workarounds. It’s nice to see developers/authors collaborating like this. Says a lot about the integrity of their work.

Speaking of which… I don’t throw praise around very often, but I thought everyone reading this thread should know that Derek and Curt are two of the best in the business. OptionTree is just one of Derek’s amazing plugins, and he also does phenomenal custom themes and sites. His portfolio speaks for itself. (You’ll probably recognize some of his work). And if you’re looking for something pre-made, (IMO) Curt has the most beautiful, well-balanced themes on Themeforest, hands down. The next time you’re shopping for a simple, elegant, user-friendly theme – I highly recommend checking out his stuff.

(And no, those aren’t affiliate links. Just a couple endorsements/testimonials.)

@cudazi Nice workaround!

Also, to clarify the only time this error will pop up is during activation if the get_option_tree() function is being created by a theme before the plugin is loaded. I could remove the include from the admin side but enough people have requested it that it seems worth finding a workaround that best suits everyone involved.

Glad we could all come together and find a solution.

Cheers,
Dererk

My entire project is stalled —?thanks to Option Tree… It just stopped registering changes in the fields — does not allow me to make any changes — upload images / add or remove slides… not even change colors of the links… I wrote to themeforest for a refund on the theme I purchased at their site — which included Option Tree by default — super skeleton — let alone the damage it has caused me for the delayed launch of my nonprofit website… None of the forums provide valid information on how to fix this —?nor have I got any response for the messages I wrote to Themeforest and to the link I was led to for Option Tree… Good luck Option Tree users… T

@virtuosohaven I’m sorry you’re having trouble with the plugin, but I can’t reproduce the issue no matter how hard I try. Can you give me more info about your setup and I’ll try and figure out a solution.

WP Version
PHP Version
MySQL Version
Single or Multisite
Hosting Provider
Clean Install or existing data
Installing from OT files etc.

Also, if you would email me your login info to the site I can try and see if there is anything that may be causing this that’s not obvious? derek[at]valendesigns[dot]com

Cheers,
Derek
