I’ve seen this in a couple of places already, so I’ll go ahead an post it: If you’re getting an error with your WordPress install similar to: “Fatal error: Cannot redeclare pclziputilpathreduction()” and you’re using WP 2.7+, disable your WPAU – WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin. This error is caused because in version 2.7 WordPress added the ability to update itself, so this plugin is no longer needed. Here is an image of what the deactivated plugin should look like on the plugins page:

Update: This appears to be fixed in the latest version of the plugin. I was able to enable the plugin and browse around without getting errors. But I don’t see the need for this plugin in WP installs newer than 2.6 anyway.

I’m kinda regretting the switch to WP. I’ve used it before, but I don’t remember it being this bloated. It has a lot of nice features, but it’s also incredibly slow. And one of the plugins caused the XHTML validation to fail with something like 89 errors.. I realize that it’s not part of the core, but features that I consider essential aren’t included, so I had to install some extra plugins.

In other news: I am overly critical of other people’s work. Even when it’s free I expect it to be of a very high standard. =P

So, I switched to WP instead of my custom code I used before. This is mostly because I just don’t have the time/desire to keep up with the codebase right now. This should be easier to update(maybe I’ll post more than once every 8 months).
