I’ve just installed WP 2.6 for a new blog, but cannot get Popularity Contest to work. I tried the hacks (modifying the require directory on line 59, setting up the database tables first) mentioned in the topic that hpguru links to above, as well as downloading altered versions of popularity contest that already have those hacks, but no luck. I also downloaded the modified version of the plugin from the second link listed by roshanbh above. No mater what I always get the message:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Are there other solutions out there for getting this plugin to work with WP 2.6?
