“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”

This is the error I had when I activated Popularity Contest for my a new blog of mine using Wordpress 2.6.1. I had this similar problem with Popularity Contest the previous time and it is due to the condition to make some tables in your SQL.

Here is an easier fix

Go to line 59

Find

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

Replace with


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


Go to line 1528

Find


if (isset($_GET['activate']) && $_GET['activate'] == ‘true’) {


Replace with


if (isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] == ‘activate’) {
