The webserver is online & accessible.

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: geshi in (path)/syntax_hilite.php on line 31 Any thoughts? * Thread Starter [Amit Gupta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amit/) * (@amit) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/igsyntax-hiliter-plugin/#post-80592) * Have you followed the directions in the Manual word-to-word? The syntax_hilite. php file should be in your plugins directory. Before activating the plugin, change** $pPath** variable to the **_physical path_** to the directory(wp-includes recommended) where you uploaded the geshi directory & geshi.php, also note that relative paths wonā€™t work. * [davidprince](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidprince/) * (@davidprince) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/igsyntax-hiliter-plugin/#post-80626) * Yes I followed the directions in the manual word for word. The syntax_hilite. php file was in my plugins directory and was activated. I changed $pPath however I may have messed this step up, as I donā€™t comletely understand **_physical path_**. Lets say that the geshi.php and geshi directory are in [http://davidblog.ws/blog/wp-content/.](http://davidblog.ws/blog/wp-content/.) What should this line be. I have a feeling I have it correct at the moment because otherwise I recieve many more errors on all of my blog pages. But who knows, I am pretty slow sometimes. * [benramsey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benramsey/) * (@benramsey) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/igsyntax-hiliter-plugin/#post-80649) * The siteā€™s not coming up for me, either. The domain name isnā€™t resolving in my browser, nor can I ping it. It just times out. Looks like your siteā€™s either down, or a router is down between me and your site. * Thread Starter [Amit Gupta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amit/) * (@amit) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/igsyntax-hiliter-plugin/#post-80761) * [@davidprince](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidprince/):- _ as I donā€™t comletely understand physical path Create a new PHP file & copy the following code in it. ` * Name this file as path.php & place it the same directory where you have placed geshi.php & the geshi directory. Call this file in the browser. So if you have placed this file in the wp-contents directory, then you call it as [http://davidblog.ws/blog/wp-content/path.php](http://davidblog.ws/blog/wp-content/path.php) Copy whatever the file outputs on screen, & remove path.php from its end. Now you have the **physical path** of the directory where geshi.php & geshi directory resides. Place this path in the $pPath variable of your syntax_hilite.php file. Just make sure that it has no spaces at either end of it & it ends with a trailing slash(/). [@benramsey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benramsey/):- _ Looks like your siteā€™s either down, or a router is down between me and your site. The site isnā€™t down or I would have known. Iā€™ve got 5 website monitoring services checking on it all the time. šŸ™‚ Looks thereā€™s a problem with the router between you & the website. * [dodo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dodo/) * (@dodo) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/igsyntax-hiliter-plugin/#post-81039) * hrm why isnā€™t my code color coded? test [http://pure-essence.net/index.php?p=890](http://pure-essence.net/index.php?p=890) * [dodo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dodo/) * (@dodo) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/igsyntax-hiliter-plugin/#post-81040) * i tried apply the filter to comment_text but it seems to work differentlyā€¦ * Anonymous * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/igsyntax-hiliter-plugin/#post-81061) * This version conflicts with Textile 2 (improved) [http://jimandlissa.com/project/textilephp](http://jimandlissa.com/project/textilephp) Results in recursive looping output. * Anonymous * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/igsyntax-hiliter-plugin/#post-81062) * Also, is there a way you can add in functionality to make optional the prefixā€œ CSS:ā€ or ā€œHTML:ā€ for the block of code being hilited? I really hate that big, bold ā€œCSS:ā€ that automatically gets stuck before my code. I mean, if Iā€™m talking about CSS, itā€™s obviously going to be CSS in the code block ā€“ no need to reiterate. * Anonymous * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/igsyntax-hiliter-plugin/#post-81065) * Yeah, I just added a little conditional jiggery-pokery along with an additional constant & weā€™re itā€™s all better w/ the prefix text.
