This plugin is only designed to work with either the K2 theme (http://getk2.com) or a child theme based on K2.

If the currently active theme on your site does not fit in either of these categories then the plugin will not instantiate itself, you will see no options panel, and no widget will appear.

I installed a new Wordpress 2.8.5 with new database, because i had too much bugs, probably caused by other plugins.
Now, in my new version i activated k2 switcher but nothing appear in admin panel “Appearence”, and no new widget listed.
I use a personnal theme made on Artisteer 2.

If your running an unmodified version of WordPress 2.8.5 then it’s hard to see why you’d encounter this error. Basically it’s telling you that my widget class is trying to inherit from a built in WordPress widget class that was introduced in WordPress 2.8, but that the class could not be found.

Are you running any other plugins, or have you modified the WordPress source code at all? Also, which theme are you running.

I try to activate your plugin in my WP 2.8.5 but it doesn’t works. I got this error message :
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Fatal error: Class k2ss_widget: Cannot inherit from undefined class wp_widget in /homepages/7/d250166249/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/k2-style-switcher/k2-style-switcher.php on line 838″

Must i modify something on the k2-style-switcher.php page (line 838) ?

Thanks by advance for your help.

The scenario you describe would occur if the plugin detected that the K2 theme was not active, leading to two questions:

1. Is the K2 theme installed and active when you are trying to use the plugin?
2. What is the name of the folder that the K2 theme is stored in?

The plugin uses get_current_theme(); to check if K2 is installed and active, so if you’ve installed K2 in a non-standard directory then it would not be detected. K2 should be installed directly into the ‘themes‘ directory (e.g. ‘/themes/k2‘), meaning that the K2 folders (app, blocks, css etc.) and files (404.php, attachment.php, comments.php etc.) should be directly inside this directory (e.g. ‘/themes/k2/404.php‘ etc.)

Is K2 installed in this way for your site?

Thanks,

I also tried using the “” with a daikos text widget but nothing appears on the sidebar. Other widgets below it would disappear.

Thanks,
