Trying to activate Vili’s Avatar Thingy, my wordpress says:
“The plugin could not be activated for it’s causing a fatal error.”
What now?
If you have access to a log file, check to see what the fatal error was, or temporarily configure your webserver to echo errors to the browser, or redirect them to a file. A fatal error can be anything: you need to know specifically what the error is to have a chance at fixing it.
does this still work for latest versions (2.5, 9.0.1)?
The code he pasted, above, is missing the <?php … ?> tags, so I’m also getting compiler errors.
Does this work good, or should I keep looking for a better solution? I want avatars to match on WordPress and BBpress integrated site.
bbPress and WordPress use gravatar which is the same service.
Yah, I know that. I eventually used the WordPress custom avatar plugin and updated my bbpress theme to call that function from WordPress side of things.
Unless you have like a tech blog, very few people know how/will bother getting a gravatar. I’d say 90% of people that register upload an avatar now.
I used a hack to the wordpress code. It was some basic php. If you want the code, just let me know.
I need that code. PLease send me! Thank you.
