Hi there

I was updating from a much older version of EE to the latest version and have hit a problem.
There seems to be a conflict with an older version of the Events Calendar Add on. So now I can’t access the admin panel at all, I just get this message:
Warning: require_once(/homepages/13/d389341762/htdocs/cricnew/test/wp-content/plugins/espresso-calendar.1.11/calendar_admin.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/13/d389341762/htdocs/cricnew/test/wp-content/plugins/espresso-calendar/espresso-calendar.php on line 116

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/homepages/13/d389341762/htdocs/cricnew/test/wp-content/plugins/espresso-calendar.1.11/calendar_admin.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php5′) in /homepages/13/d389341762/htdocs/cricnew/test/wp-content/plugins/espresso-calendar/espresso-calendar.php on line 116

– any suggestions?
James

Hi James,

It looks like your site has both versions (new and old) of the calendar active. You can avoid the error by deactivating the old version of the calendar. Here’s a link to a guide that shows how to deactivate plugins when you don’t have WordPress admin access:

Hi Josh
Thanks for quick reply – that problem is fixed!

Now just one other query with the install – the Custom Files Add On won’t install. Just comes up with message – The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.
Any ideas?
thanks again
James

Hi James,

It turns out that the Custom Files add-on is not a plugin. It’s actually a group of files that can be used by a PHP developer. There is more information along with installation instructions here:

Actually just seen that this needs to be done via FTP

Hi James,

Do you need the Custom Files Add-on?

It is basically a way for you to override core functions within a single file (which you may or may not need to do), by all means you can install this add-on but personally I would not install it unless intending to use it (many users do not need this functionality).
