# Error activitating plugin – use absolute paths

 * Trying to activate this plugin when the CiviCRM plugin is installed results in
   an error.
 * This is caused by the line
    `require('api'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'api.php');` in`
   function moppm_includes` of `class MOPPM`.
 * The CiviCRM plugin also has a file `api/api.php` resulting in this file being
   loaded twice.
 * This can be fixed by using absolute paths:
    `require plugin_dir_path(__FILE__).'
   api' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'api.php';`
 * (Thanks to [@haystack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/haystack/) on [https://chat.civicrm.org](https://chat.civicrm.org)
   for diagnosing this.)

 * Hi [@piyushmishra20](https://wordpress.org/support/users/piyushmishra20/)
 * Thanks for the response. I’ve already made that change so I’m OK for now but 
   it would be good to see this in the next release.
