 * I’d suggest going to wp-plugins.net and posting a support request there.

 * I would have done that, unfortunately there is no where to ask questions. I dont
   want to put it on his blog, that would be rather rude. So I asked here in the
   support forum.

 * I’m having troubles too. I too looked at wp-plugins.net but saw nowhere to post
   my issue. I also tried posting on his blog at the plugin manager entry, but Spam
   Karma saw fit to eat my comment. Maybe someone here can help me out?
 * I love this plugin, it has helped me so much. I haven’t had a problem with it
   until today, in fact. I was going through and seeing what has been recently added.
   I did a one-click install of WP Theme Manager and that seemed to go okay. Then
   I was going to do a one click install of the new Theme Switcher plugin. That’s
   when I got this error:
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare rmdirr() (previously declared in /home/callis/public_html/
   inconceivable/wp-plugin-mgr.php:1314) in /home/callis/public_html/inconceivable/
   wp-content/plugins/wp-theme-mgr.php on line 188
 * I have tried to deactivate and delete the plugin and reinstall it but I still
   get the error. Could someone please help me fix this?

 * Ah the joy of namespaces and function redefinitions in the plugin architecture.
   callistawolf, there’s an incompatibility between the Plugin Manager and the Theme
   Manager plugin. As you’ve seen they both try to declare a function called “rmdirr”.
   PHP hates it when people do that.
 * You can fix this by opening either of the plugins — I’d suggest the Theme Manager
   plugin — in a text editor or the built-in theme editor if that’s even available
   with the problem and changing all occurences of the word “rmdirr” with something
   like “wptm_rmdirr”. I do mean all occurences… currently there are three that 
   I see in the file. Once you do that you should be fine.

 * 7milesdown,
 * Do you have shell access on your site? If so, try running the “unzip” command
   directly from the shell. My guess would be your hosting provider doesn’t have
   this program or an alias to it. You may need to ask them what the name of their
   unzip executable is.

 * What’s the deal with the plugin manager saying some plugins are compatible with
   WP 1.2 and/or WP 1.3? Can I use it with WP 1.5-gamma? I don’t see any plugins
   listed that are compatible with the it. I, too, cannot find anywhere to post 
   queries from the plugin manager site.

 * 1.3 was rebadged to 1.5. Apparently the Plugin Manager simply hasn’t been updated
   to reflect this fact.

 * I’m hoping someone can help me get the one-click plugin manager running for my
   site. I’ve tried version 1.4 and now the 1.6 beta with the exact same result (
   currently running WordPress 1.5-gamma 2005-02-08).
 * When I browse to wp-plugin-mgr.php I get the ‘Configuring Server’ screen which
   has the message. I fill out the info and click ‘permanent’. After a wait, I get
   the Plugin Manager with the following messages at the top:
 * Changing permissions.
    Connected to FTP server… Logged on… Could not change ‘
   wp-content/’ permissions. Please change manually or check the ftp settings and
   try again. Could not change ‘wp-content/plugins/’ permissions. Please change 
   manually or check the ftp settings and try again. Closed ftp connection… Connected
   to FTP server… Logged on… Could not change ‘wp-content/plugin_manager/’ permissions.
   Please change manually or check the ftp settings and try again. Could not change‘
   wp-content/plugin_manager/installed’ permissions. Please change manually or check
   the ftp settings and try again. Could not change ‘wp-content/plugin_manager/plugin_data’
   permissions. Please change manually or check the ftp settings and try again. 
   Closed ftp connection…
 * I also get these same messages after chmoding 0777 wp-content and wp-content/
   plugins.
 * Something obviously doesn’t like my setup but I can’t figure it out. Any help
   would be appreciated.

 * ColdForged…
 * Thanks.. 🙂 I ended up just disabling and removing the ThemeManager plugin. I
   didn’t need it as much as I wanted the Plugin Manager plugin. 🙂 Though I imagine
   its very handy to those who dont’ have access to the files on an FTP server. 
   Thanks for your help!

 * Has anyone found a fix for this?
