@KcL

Have you the tables set up for your plugin and if not, did you run the sql above, replacing the table prefix with that of your own?

I got this problem:
Table ‘rh_2476809_kclkcl_wordpress.wp_ak_popularity_options’ doesn’t exist on line: 218

I’ve queried the database, still not working..
Even with that patched php, and unpatched php doesnt work too!

I’ve posted a step-by-step tutorial (using screen shots of the steps above) on my website. For those of you who are intimidated by the idea of modifying your database, check out my post. It may help ease your mind. The steps really aren’t that hard.

If was able to get Popularity Contest to work on WordPress 2.5.1 – you can too!

Why bother changing it to the likes of require(â€™../wp-blog-header.phpâ€™); OR require(â€™../somedir/wp-blog-header.phpâ€™); ? I’ve read thousands of complaints – it worked for some, it didn’t for others. The relative path scheme may not always work out correctly.

If you ask me, the best option would be to use the ABSPATH variable (defined in wp-config.php) and concatenate the rest of the string to it.

Example:
require( ABSPATH . '/wp-blog-header.php' );

This should work out without a hitch for anyone and everyone…

Cheers,
