ERROR /class-tgm-plugin-activation.php: PM Pro bbPress addon with Kleo

[sedmorders]

After manually upgrading kleo from 2.3.4 to 3.0 and activating plugins one at a time, the PmPro bbPress plugin consistently fails with the following error after clicking on “Activate”:

PHP Fatal error: Call to protected TGM_Plugin_Activation::__construct() from invalid context in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\zzz.org\httpdocs\wp-content\plugins\pmpro-bbpress\class-tgm-plugin-activation.php on line 953

Is there something wrong with Kleo 3.0? Can you tell me how to fix it? Everything else appears to work properly. Using bbPress 2.5.7 and PmPro bbPress Add On version 1.2 and PmPro 1.8.4.2 and WordPress 4.2.2. Running on Windows Server 2012R2 with Plesk 12.0.18.

Here are the stats on my system using the Theme-Options->System Info from within Kleo:

I’ve confirmed that this is indeed happening. As a workaround I temporarily activated the WP 2015 theme, activated the forum addon, then reactivated Kleo. I’m still getting an error message in the admin, but the plugin appears to be working. See if you can do that for now.

@abe – take a look at this: http://tgmpluginactivation.com/faq/fatal-php-error-1/

Looks like Kleo is using the 2011 version and PMPro for bbpress is using the 2012 version

Sharmstr,

THanks, but I can’t use another theme and completely change the site waiting for Seventhqueen to fix this upgrade problem. Only choice is to downgrade to Kleo 2.3.4 until you get your act together.

BTW, I tried the fix you suggested but concluded it was unworkable. I’d suggest removing the Kleo 3.0 from Envato until this problem is fixed, because PM Pro support is supposed to be built into your theme and work out of the box.

Please advise when a new update to the them comes out that fixes this problem. In the meantime, back to 2.3.4.

[sharmstr]

Actually, I was wrong. I was looking at the copywrite header of the file which wasnt changed and had old dates so I thought it was an old version. Kleo is actually using a newest version of the file 2.4.2. PMPro for bbpress is NOT (version 2.3.6).

Just to be clear, I wasnt suggesting you stay on the 2015 theme. I’m only suggesting you change it to the 2015 until after you enable the plugin.

I’m also disabling auto-updates on Kleo so I don’t overwrite the old version. I will do the upgrade manually from now on.

Don’t you test this stuff before you release it?

[sedmorders]

You said there were admin problems after following your workaround, which I was able to reproduce. In fact, the admin login doesn’t work at all! I can’t have a system where the admin doesn’t work.

[sharmstr]

Of course Kleo is tested. But to be fair, the cant test every single plugin/addon that users will install, nor do they claim to work with every plugin/add-on out there. Kleo works with PMPro. I dont recall seeing 7th queen to claim that the bbpress addon works with Kleo. I could be wrong, but since its not a suggested plugin, I dont think I am.

In any case, copying the newer TGM activation file into the bbpress add on folder seems to fix the issue.

– Disable the bbpress addon
– Go to /plugins/pmpro-bbpress/ and rename class-tgm-plugin-activation.php to class-tgm-plugin-activation-old.php
– Go to /themes/kleo/lib/ and copy the class-tgm-plugin-activation.php file and paste it into /plugins/pmpro-bbpress/
– Enable the bbpress addon

Let me know if you run into any issues with it.

Hi @sedmorders, please note that because of the recent announcement made by themeforest we were noticed to update all third party libraries used in our theme because of security reasons.
http://marketblog.envato.com/news/wordpress-item-security-vulnerability/

I’m sorry to hear that the plugin that you’re using didn’t made this step yet, maybe you can contact their author and ask them to update their TGM library in order to avoid such kind of issues in the future.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi there!!! Help others from the community and mark any reply as solution if it solved your question. Mark as a solution

[sedmorders]

Actually, the class-tgm-plugin-activation.php is found in /themes/kleo/kleo-framework/lib RATHER than /themes/kleo/lib.

I tried that on my system as follows:
1. Downgraded to kleo 2.3.4.
2. Activated the pmpro bbpress plugin.
3. Upgraded from kleo 2.3.4 to 3.0. At that point, the admin login produced a 500 error and I couldn’t get in.
4. Renamed /plugins/pmpro-bbpress/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php to /plugins/pmpro-bbpress/class-tgm-plugin-activation-ole.php
5. Copied /themes/kleo/kleo-framework/lib/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php to /plugins/pmpro-bbpress/
6. Logged in as admin using Kleo 3.0 and it works!

This is a good sort-term fix. However, it appears that pmpro bbpress needs to be updated to fix this problem. I have posted a companion trouble ticked in the pmpro forms at:
http://www.paidmembershipspro.com/forums/topic/problems-activating-pmpro-bbpress-addon-version-1-2-in-kleo-theme-version-3-0/#post-31767

I have asked them to update their plugin.

[Andrei]

I’m glad to hear that you managed to finally update and this will also help us for other users that might encounter this issue.

Cheers

[sedmorders]

Andrei,

Thanks.

BTW, after doing the above, the following plugin was installed AUTOMATICALLY somehow:

TGM Plugin Activation, version 2.5-dev

The plugin wasn’t activated so I activated it. I don’t know how it got installed because I didn’t put it there. Perhaps moving the file class-tgm-plugin-activation.php caused the plugin to install ITSELF. Anyway, other users need to know about this problem so they don’t repeat my problem.

In the meantime, I hope PMPro gets off their butts and fixes their plugin. It wasn’t your problem but you were very helpful anyway. Great support every time I needed it.

Keep up the great work and upgrades to an indispensable theme. Have a good day.

[Andrei]

Well, the TGM library is a “plugin” itself which help us ease the way you can install recommended/required plugins to use in addition with the theme. Normally you won’t find it declared in the plugin list, but in this case dunno exactly what might happen, didn’t tested this issue myself, hope PMPro guys fix it soon.

It’s our pleasure to help you any time you need it.
Cheers

@sharmstr I upgraded to Kleo 3.1 and something went wrong and I can’t access the Admin Pannel. Do yuo think the downgrade to 3.0 will solve the problem? How can I do this?

[hdavidsen]

@sharmstr the trick with class-tgm-plugin-activation.txt worked for me, thank you so much 🙂

Should I keep the file as -old and leave your file in the folder?

[sharmstr]

If you dont, it wont work.

I was getting an “Internal Server Error” in Admin/Updates.

Now with this recommended fix I am getting an “Internal Server Error” everywhere in Admin.

Any further suggestions?

[Andrei]

Please download the latest version of the theme and manually update your main theme over FTP.
This should fix this issue which was caused by the envato theme updater api.
