 * Hi Robrs –
 * Thanks for letting us know about this issue! This sounds like a lame answer, 
   but can you please try deactivating the reactivating the plugin to check if the
   error persists?
 * Thanks,
    – Andy

 * It won’t let me deactivate it because it won’t activate… that error gets thrown
   when trying to activate. I tried removing the plugin and reinstalling and then
   activating and got the same error. Frustrating… can’t find any other plugin that
   has this functionality…

 * I’m sorry we caused you frustration and I want to fix the problem for you as 
   soon as possible.
 * I refactored some of our code based on your support ticket and thanks again for
   letting us know about the issue.
 * Can you please email me at [andy@leadin.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-activating-plugin-7/andy@leadin.com?output_format=md)
   so I can send you over a new custom .zip file to install that should work for
   your website?

 * I’m glad the custom version of the plugin I sent over worked for you.
 * We rolled in a fix into the next version of the plugin which should take care
   of the problem for others in the future.
 * Thanks again for finding this bug and letting us know.

 * Hi
    Dont know if this is the right place to post since the thread is marked resoloved.
   But I get exactly the same error.
 * Perhaps you can fix it the same way?
    Thanks /Martin
