Alex King’s wordpress plugin which goes by the name of Popularity Contest has the best popular post plugin. It gives a lot of information thus helping bloggers to judge what readers usually read. Well, sad to say, I did face an error when I converted my WordPress from 2.3 to 2.5. No error whatsoever at first, that was until I went and deactivate the popularity contest plugin.

The outcome?? After I tried to reactivate the plugin, it went bonkers and kept giving Fatal Error message. So off I go to search and found a help in Ken’s web. In his site, you can either download his latest patched file or rather you can just modify the popularity-contest.php and changed the following.

Open popularity-contest.php and scroll down to line 59.
Replace require(’../../wp-blog-header.php’); with require(’../wp-blog-header.php’);

This somehow solves my problem perfectly. So it tells me to be prepared for WordPress 2.5 compatibality issues.
