Fatal error upgrading to wordpress 2.7

[cquerol]

I had featurific in the older versions of wordpress. Now I have upgraded to 2.7 and the plugin to version 1.4.4 and when I try to activate the plugin I get the following message:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare featurific_show_admin_message_once() (previously declared in /home/noselepu/public_html/wp-content/plugins/featurific-for-wordpress/featurific.php:144) in /home/noselepu/public_html/wp-content/plugins/featurific-for-wordpress/featurific.php on line 155

Did someone get a message like this?

Hi cquerol,

When I read your post, I thought I had seen this error before, and in fact I have. Here's a page that explains a bit if you're interested:

Essentially, you get this error (with any WP plugin) if there's an error on activation. Instead of getting the actual error, you get this super cryptic error. Weird. I don't know why this happens.

In order to see the actual error, there's a little trick we can do:

1. Try to activate featurific. It will give you the error, but Featurific should still be activated (partially)
2. With Featurific active, change your Wordpress theme. When you do so, you should see the error that is causing the "redeclare" error. If that doesn't allow to to see the error, try just going to the Featurific options page and re-submitting the form. This should show the errors, too.
3. Please send me the error and we can try to find a solution.

Hope to hear from you soon!

I get the same error, this plugin is damaged... is there an alternative to it?

Hi Guest,

Thanks for visiting the support forum! In the past, we've found that this error can mean that there is a conflict between Featurific and another one of your plugins. To help resolve the problem, try following the instructions above. Alternatively, try disabling plugins until the Featurific error goes away. When the error goes away, you know that was the plugin that was causing the conflict. Let us know what plugin was conflicting and we can work with you to find a workaround.

Thanks, and hope to hear from you soon!
