Fatal error when activating
-
When installing and activating directly from wordpress I immediately get the following, and must rename the plugin from ftp to get anything working on my site.
Wordpress is running the lastest version (5.4 en_CA), I have the following plugins installed, all at the latest version:
Additional Variation Images Gallery for WooCommerce (tried de-activating)
Variation Swatches for WooCommerce (tried de-activating)
Jetpack by WordPress.com
WooCommerce
WooCommerce ServicesTheme: Storefront

I’m trying to recreate the error with the same configuration you mention above. I’m able to recreate it by renaming either the …/src folder in the plugin directory, or renaming …/src/utility/general.php.
However, it looks like a portion of your error message is missing. From “#6″, you should see something like
#6 /(location)/wp-includes/plugin.php(478): WP_Hook->do_action(Array)
#7 /(location)/wp-settings.php(540): do_action(‘init’)
#8 /(location)/wp-config.php(90): require_once(‘/ho(location)…’)
#9 /(location)/wp-load.php(37): require_once(‘/ho in /(location)/wp-content/plugins/markup-by-attribute-for-woocommerce/markup-by-attribute-for-woocommerce.php on line 86If that is the case, it sounds like the plugin did not install properly, and
/(location)/wp-content/plugins/markup-by-attribute-for-woocommerce/src/utility/general.php
is missing.You can try reinstalling it, but have FTP handy. If it fails again, ensure there is a
/(location)/wp-content/plugins/markup-by-attribute-for-woocommerce/src/utility/general.php
file. I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know whether it’s there or not.Meanwhile, I’ll look to add some code so the plugin fails more gracefully and doesn’t bring the whole site down.
Found it.
Your screenshots revealed to me that there is mixed case in your path name, which lead me to look at how the class path names are parsed. Lo and behold, I’m putting the full path name in lowercase.
I’m going to push out an emergency fix later today or tomorrow, after I get done with some thorough testing and source management. But if you need a fix right now, I can tell you what to do.
To fix this,
- You’ll need to download Markup by Attribute, but do not activate it.
- Through either the Plugin Editor or FTP, locate and edit …/wp-content/plugins/markup-by-attribute-for-woocommerce/autoload.php.
- Replace lines 31 through 45
(public static function autoload( $class ) { ... })
with the followingpublic static function autoload( $class ) { if ( 0 !== strpos( $class, MT2MBA_PLUGIN_PREFIX ) ) { return; } else { if ( is_file( $file = dirname( __FILE__ ) . str_replace( '_', '/', strtolower( str_ireplace( MT2MBA_PLUGIN_PREFIX, '/src', $class ) ) . '.php' ) ) ) { require_once $file; $class::init(); } } return; } - Save the code.
- Activate the plugin.
Let me know if that works. And thank you for your assistance; many people would just give up and find a different plugin.
