 * ftp to site or use host’s file manager to rename the `/artistdatapress` folder
   
   this will deactivate the plugin and let you log in to test

 * was previously using v.2 with WP 3.2.1, and had no problems. upgraded from within
   the dashboard to v.32 and got this error message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’, expecting T_FUNCTION in /home/content/
   20/8281920/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/artistdatapress/inc/adp_widget.php
   on line 249
 * Dashboard wouldn’t even let me activate the plugin.
 * was able to back down to v.2, which I was previously using, good for now.
 * is there a way to test an upgrade to a plugin before it goes live so that I don’t
   run into this problem again? or do people just test plugins on a secret identical
   live site somewhere else?

 * they are supposedly tested to be compatible with most recent version of wordpress
 * perhaps contact the author and inform him of your problem

 * done (had to find the comment section on his website to do so but he’s aware 
   of the problem and has been working on it…).
 * wish there was a way for him to discourage people from uploading til he fixes
   the issue

 * Hey guys,
    Sorry for the delay and all the errors. ArtistData’s XML feed does
   a 301 redirect to a Sonicbids URL now, so the feed URL they give you isn’t actually
   the URL for the XML feed. When I changed to the .3 version of ADP, I started 
   using cURL to get the XML feed, but didn’t tell cURL to follow any redirects,
   so it gave errors when using the feed URL ArtistData gives you. It should work
   now, check out the .33 update. Thanks for your patience, Slushman
