How do I get help with this plugin?
Hi Jenny,
You can either post any problems/comments here, or login to wordpress.org and at a topic to the forum here : http://wordpress.org/tags/file-proxy.
Can you tell us, what version of the plugin you were trying to activate? what version of WordPress your using? and if possible what version of PHP your currently running.
We have also released an update which may solve the problem your having.
I’m on version 2.9.2 and am receiving a fatal error when I try to activate the plugin: This plugin can not be installed as there is a class name conflict. I’m not sure of the PHP version. Can you help please?
Nice plugin – if you plan anything to do with permissions it would be increbible if you would integrate it with Justin’s Members[1] plugin!
