Just a head-up that the Download monitor, spam stopper, and contact form, all function fine and dandy.

    I know of two people that had difficulties with the upgrade and the contact form plugin. I don’t think it’s the fault of the plugin though since others have reported no issues.

    Mike, did you deactivate your plugins before upgrading? I think that may be related. Other plugins are giving the same error for some people too, namely this:

    Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in path-to-files/wp-includes/functions.php on line 282

    The fellow who reported it is pretty convinced it is an issue with WP 2.2. Not sure myself, but I don’t think it’s the plugin as several 2.2 users are using it without issue. Only two people that I know of had this issue so whatever it is is pretty bizarre.

    Any answer to this, as I am person 3 then. Contact form has worked for me on WP2.2, so it may be the combination of plugins/theme. Will investigate further.

    For the info of anyone else who has this issue: My problem came from a combination with the ‘Ultimate Tag Warrior’ plugin. The UTW plugin seems to be leaving a record in the wp options table with a blank option_name. Delete out this record, and the contact form works again without error. Save the options for UTW and the blank record is back and the error for the contact form.

    I had the same problem as Ernie, and the same fix worked for me. I think UTW’s interaction with WP2.2 is causing the contact form not to work.

    I’m having the same problem and am also running the UTW plugin. I would like to try the fix that has been suggested by Ernie, but I don’t know where to find the ‘wp options table’. Where is it?

    Use phpmyadmin to look, its a database table

    Thanks Mike – I found it, deleted the record, and now the contact form works fine. It’s a great plugin, BTW.

    I know this is an old topic – but my contact form was just reported to me as not working. I don’t actively update the blog any more, but it’s running Mike’s contact plugin on WP 2.2.1.

    The problem certainly seems to be caused by UTW, which for some strange reason puts an entry in the wp_options with no option_name property. For me it was option_id 300, but it might be different for others.

    Just load up the table in phpMyAdmin and sort by the option_name column. It pops up at the top, then just select it and delete it.

    All working for me now – so thanks! :)
