[wp-hackers] Re: Plugins Causing My 2.04 To Die

[Andy Staines]

Hi Folks

Well - no ideas or solutions came forth but - just for the record - I  
solved it.
Owen and the other two plugin authors had used short php tags and my  
short tags were turned off having re-installed php.
Simple and very annoying. Didn't expect to find those.
