WARNING – check your PHP version before updating!

  • We’re still recovering from a horrible experience with this plugin. I was quietly doing a bit of maintenance and clicked update and BANG =- site gone. Couldn’t even see the Admin page.

    I contacted the author, and he got back in seconds to say it was down to a “terrible old” version of PHP. No reply to follow-ups though (how can we disable this plugin without using the admin panel). We had version 5.2.9 of PHP, which, last time I looked was fine. Probably it changed while I wasn’t looking. I got our host to update to 5.6, and our site then worked, but another site hosted on the same server promptly broke. We seem to have fixed it now – after 12 hours of panic – all down to a single innocent click.

    This happens quite a lot with other plugins also,
    In order to bring back the website, just rename your plugin folder by loggin in to website cpanel or through shell, and then reinstall the plugin one by one.
