@binni and everybody:
Here’s a patched version that I’ve found when searching:
https://www.kenmc.com/2008/03/30/wordpress-25-is-live-and-wild-plus-popularity-contest-notes/
That file has just been modified to include the change that is in the first post by gulflee in this thread:
Open popularity-contest.php and scroll down to line 59. Replace require(’../../wp-blog-header.php’); with require(’../wp-blog-header.php’);
It probably work if you just upload and activate it.
If not, if you get the same error message as Binni: “Table ‘MYSQL_TABLE NAME.wp_ak_popularity_options’ doesn’t exist on line: 124”
there are MySQL info in the address above that you add thru php myadmin. If you need a free MySQL client here’s SQL Front https://www.sql-front.com/download.html
Good luck,
and please reply if it’s work. I have to ask my Host for write permissions in php myadmin tomorrow to be able to create new tables.
Mats.
