 * I’m getting an error message whenever I attempt to activate a plugin. The message
   is as follows: _Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/
   thelesb1/public\_html/wp-content/plugins/post-avatar/gkl-postavatar.php on line
   426_
 * Once I hit activate I get this message. When I hit the back button and refresh
   the plugins page it shows activated and everything works fine, but I still have
   concerns about this error.
 * Any help/suggestions would be wonderful.
