Cannot ACTIVATE Affiliates Pro in staging env

—

by

William

We bought the Pro plugin for our WordPress website (so we could integrate the Affiliate Coupons plugin for WooCommerce).

Download+install was successful for our production site (atpmechanix.com).
When trying to do the same for our staging site (staging.atpmechanix.com), the plugins install just fine, but I cannot activate the Pro plugin.

When I press “activate”, it acts like it’s doing something, then when page reloads, it still says inactive.

What gives?
Is there any other info that I could provide to help you help me resolve this quickly?

    That’s great William!

    Free version doesn’t work with Pro or Enterprise versions.

    The list of available integrations can be found under Affiliates>Settings>Integrations. ie if you are using Affiliates WooCommerce Integration Light, you should uninstall it and install Affiliates WooCommerce Integration which has more options and also it is free with the Pro version.

    Kind regards,

    Hi William,

    Thanks for the output.

    This seems to be related to your theme, but just in case, please switch to a one of the default themes like twentyfifteen.
    Also, deactivate the plugin on your live site and try again.

    If these don’t work, please provide admin access to your staging site by sending credentials to george at itthinx dot com.

    Kind regards,
    George

      Thanks!
      I think I may have found the solution though.

      I noticed a difference when going to disable the Pro plugin on the live site: the free version is not installed there.
      So, in staging, I deactivated the free version and tried again, and viola. Success.

      I had @$$umed the Pro plugin stacked upon the free version.
      I guess not :-j

      Thanks for the assistance.

        Also, since Pro does not stack upon the free version, am I correct to presume that the integration plugin is no longer needed either?

    Frustratingly, it is just a bunch of deprecation errors, and they don’t help much.

    First, the code line numbers referenced in the errors are just the line numbers for the error handling functions which detect the deprecated code (not where the deprecated code is actually found).

    Secondly, these error handling functions are only active when debug mode is turned ON, so the errors provided may not even be an issue when in production mode.

    Finally, the same errors are thrown regardless of whether I’m loading the plugins page, or trying to activate this stubborn/resistant Pro plugin, so again, I suspect they may be irrelevant.

    Nonetheless, here’s the error log in case it can help.

    Hi William,

    Please enable debugging on your staging site and try again. If there is something recorded in your debug.log file, please reply here.

    Kind regards,
