 * HI all,
    I’m using Safari, so tried to install editormonkey in order to be able
   to view A toolbar for adding links/pictures/and such. After uploading and activating
   it, I’m getting:
 * Warning: Wrong parameter count for class_exists() in /home/whatever/public_html/
   new/wp-content/plugins/editormonkey.php on line 15
 * in the header and:
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /home/margaret/public_html/new/wp-content/plugins/editormonkey.php:2) in /
   home/margaret/public_html/new/wp-admin/inline-uploading.php on line 138
 * In my Write Post page. So, I went back to the puligins page to deactivate it,
   and it isn’t showing!
 * How do I fix this mess? Thanks!

 * The above-mentioned lines are these…how should they be changed?

    class editormonkey {

 * Hey guys, sorry about the error. The second parameter only exists in the PHP5
   version of the class_exists()
 * It’s been removed, so it’s now
    if (!class_exists(“editormonkey”)) { // yada….
 * Or you could just delete this if (and the bracket at the very bottom corresponding
   to the end brack for the if), as this check is only necessary on some servers.

 * OK, I’ve tried to follow your instructions (thanks!), but now a host of other
   error messages are popping up!
 * After playing with it, this is what I have:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/infidelw/www/www/counterpoints_blog/
   wp-content/plugins/editormonkey/editormonkey.php on line 23
 * And this is what the file looks from line 15-23:
 * */
    (!class_exists(“editormonkey”)) //class editormonkey
 *  // PHP 5 constructor
 *  /*** OPTIONS **/
    // Add the default options for using EditorMonkey if they 
   don’t exist add_option(‘editormonkey_use’, ‘true’, ‘Automatically use the WYSIWYG
   interface’); add_option(‘editormonkey_overrideusers’, ‘true’, ‘Force all users
   to use the plugin settings’);
 * Thanks for the Help!

 * I updated editormonkey.php according to the file on your website. It generated
   these error messages.

 * I don’t recommend anybody install Editor Monkey. It’s one thing to install, quite
   another – a nightmare – to ever remove.
 * See this post:

 * Editor Monkey wins ‘most intrusive plugin of the century’ award and is a real
   pig to remove. But it can be done!

 * EditorMonkey is neither intrusive nor a bitch to uninstall.
 * 1) Use the link provided in the plugin description to deactivate EM and remove
   it from the database.
 * 2) Reset “Use rich editor” from your User Profile page.
 * That was easy. What do people find so hard about that?
 * The hard way:
    1) Deactive the plugin. 2) Reset “Use rich editor” in the Options
   > Writing page. 3) Reset “Use rich editor” in the User Profile page (per user
   setting). 4) *OPTIONAL* Go into the database and remove any option begin editormonkey_
   or em_.
 * As you can see, EM creates its own settings so as not to interfere with the other
   settings.
