James Cochran’s Blog

Recently I tried to run an automatic upgrade on this here blog but ran into some problems.  Specifically it was kicking back this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare pclziputilpathreduction() (previously declared in */JAMESCOCHRAN.ORG/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/lib/pclzip.lib.php:5421) in */JAMESCOCHRAN.ORG/wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php on line 5498

It turns out this is due to the fact that I was using the old WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin which is apparently no longer needed in WordPress 2.7.  This is an easy fix, all you need to do is disable that old plugin and go back and run the upgrade again.
