Please replace the ??? with your data!

[desc]:Hey, I got this fatal error when moving my wordpress to other site.

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare cforms_activate() (previously declared in /home/np16923/domains/rockquake.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cforms/cforms.php:59) in /home/np16923/domains/rockquake.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cforms/cforms.php on line 61

Yes I changed the abspath to current path. Also I changed the database to current path. (with dreamweaver, find and replace.)

Thanks,_

It appears that this happens after moving cforms. Which may also have corrupted your cforms settings.

When moving, I usually recommend to

  1. make a backup of the cforms settings (under global-settings)
  2. install cforms afresh on new server
  3. restore the old settings
  4. deactivate and reactivate cforms (important!)
  5. & (as you mentioned) check abspath.php & js/cforms.js

I can send you v10 which I'm about to release, this I believe will be more 'forgiving' and may work right away.

Hey,

Thank you very much! I didn't delete my wordpress from the old site, backed the data there… Reset the new one. And it works!

You have made a great plugin!
Thanks!

What if you do not have access to the old host settings?

I built a site with a temporary domain name. When the site was finished, I pointed the real current domain to the new host WP was built on. I replace all occurrences in the database of the domain as well as the file root. I get the fatal error mentioned above.

Is there any other way to fix corrupted settings? Or if I reset cforms, is there a way to get my forms and styles from the current (corrupted) settings?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Not that I know of, unless you're very PHP/MySQL savvy and can fix that serialized array..or copy/paste bits and pieces from that array.
