This is a common problem with FieldMaster because it’s hosted at GitHub the download will include the version in the main directory and WP won’t recognize it as “fieldmaster” during the activation check. You simply need to rename the fieldmaster main directory to “fieldmaster” removing the version number such as “v0.1.1” from that directory name. For all intensive purposes the site doesn’t have FieldMaster installed, it has “FieldMaster-v-0.1.1” if you include that version number from github.
Thank you for prompt reply !
It works 🙂
Dear goldhat,
i’ve downloaded your plug-in, then i have downloaded fieldmaster through Github.
I renamed the main directory of fildmaster without the version number and finally i uploaded it through FTP and then activated it.
First, i’m not able to activate Field API because it gives me this error:
Fatal error: Cannot declare class fieldsAPI, because the name is already in use in [MY_DIRECTORY]/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/fieldmaster/fields-api.php on line 18
And secondly, when i try to activate QuizMaster, the plug-in gives me this error:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function fieldmaster_add_options_page() in [MY_DIRECTORY]/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/quizmaster/quizmaster.php:616 Stack trace: #0 [MY_DIRECTORY]/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/quizmaster/quizmaster.php(605): quizMasterAddOptionsPages() #1 [MY_DIRECTORY]/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php(525): quizMasterInit(”) #2 [MY_DIRECTORY]/wordpress/wp-settings.php(393): do_action(‘init’) #3 [MY_DIRECTORY]/wordpress/wp-config.php(91): require_once(‘/var/www/vhosts…’) #4 [MY_DIRECTORY]/wordpress/wp-load.php(37): require_once(‘/var/www/vhosts…’) #5 [MY_DIRECTORY]/wordpress/wp-admin/admin.php(31): require_once(‘/var/www/vhosts…’) #6 [MY_DIRECTORY]/wordpress/wp-admin/plugins.php(10): require_once(‘/var/www/vhosts…’) #7 {main} thr in [MY_DIRECTORY]/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/quizmaster/quizmaster.php on line 616
What can it be the issues?
Thanks!!
I think you may have used the “master” repo instead of the stable release of FieldMaster? Use the v0.6.1 at https://github.com/goldhat/fieldmaster/releases/tag/v0.6.1
Do rename it (after unzip) to be “fieldmaster” as your main plugin directory. After activation visit the “FieldMaster” menu item and click around a bit to ensure it’s working (no errors, functionality should look the same as ACF Pro).
Make sure FieldMaster is working before activating QuizMaster.
