Updated and Website Down

WP simple firewall was not compatible with this new version in my case.

What was the error?

I couldn’t see any visible error. All I saw was a white screen

Just tried it on another website. I got the message: server error 500.

I checked the error log and it appears to be clashing with my stats plugin called: StatComm (StatPress Community) Multisite Edition – version 1.7.70 | By WPGetReady

[15-Dec-2015 13:02:28 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class GeoIP in /home1/xxxxx/public_html/mywebsite/wp-content/plugins/statpress-community-formerly-statcomm/classes/geoip.php on line 74

It’s never clashed with this plug-in previously, and I’ve used both plug-ins for a very long time.

Okay my plugin checks if the class GeoIP already exists and if not it declares it.

The error implies that Statpress does not check if GeoIP exists.

The error may popup now because upon installation / updating the iQ Block Country plugins attempts to be the first plugin that is loaded.

What may work is deactivating statpress and reactivating it.

I tried your suggestion. I turned off both plugins. I activated IQ first, then I activated statpress second, but the same message appeared at the top of the plugin list page

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class GeoIP in /home1/xxxxx/public_html/mywebsite/wp-content/plugins/statpress-community-formerly-statcomm/classes/geoip.php on line 74

It seems the website will only work with one plugin….. so I have the choice of using statpress but not IQ…. or IQ but not statpress, but not both ??

Was there a major change in the code in the updated version?

Hi,

Nope the last change regarding the GeoIP class was in version 1.1.14 which was released 16 months ago.

StatPress is not in the WordPress plugin repository anymore it seems and on the above link there does not seem to be a downloadble file.

Otherwise I probably could give you a fix for statpress

I’ll make contact with wpgetready.com and see if the plugin is still being maintained…

Okay, let me know if you need any assistance.
