 * Markus, this is a ‘PHP warning’. It is a known issue but, these should not be
   showing on a production server anyway. What host are you using?

 * I confirm several “Notice: Undefined index: ” errors scattered around the place
   when using the plugin.
    It could be a good practice to check for indexes before
   using them. It is troublesome during development and whether I want it or not
   I have to fix these errors manually.
 * On activation it outputs error mentioned by OP.
    On deactivating and subsequent
   activation it outputs some unexpected data. On Advanced Settings page it throws:
 * Notice: Undefined index: template_email in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-form-
   manager/pages/editsettingsadv.php on line 215
    Notice: Undefined index: template_summary
   in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-form-manager/pages/editsettingsadv.php on line
   216
 * On resetting templates:
    Notice: Undefined variable: template in /wp-content/
   plugins/wordpress-form-manager/template.php on line 152
 * It was throwing something on front end as well but I lost it. Will update once
   I get it again.
 * Edit:
    Other errors I found in the log file. Some of them are SQL error. Not 
   sure how much this impacts the plugin functionality. PHP Notice: Undefined variable:
   charset_collage in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-form-manager/db.php on line 
   378 PHP Notice: Undefined index: recaptcha_theme_custom in /wp-content/plugins/

 * I agree, and I apologize for the pain this must be on a development server. I
   should have taken the time to eliminate the PHP warnings/notices. For the MySQL
   I genuinely did not understand what is considered ‘standard’ versus ‘acceptable’(
   I do now).
 * However I’m developing version 2 right now (without blatantly ignoring warnings&
   notices…), so I’m not going to fix the 1.6.x warnings/notices.
