I'm using Wordpress 3.1.1 and that's because I cannot afford any downtime if the upgrade goes awry. Is the latest version of Wordpress necessary to have in order for the plugin to work?</p> <p>I just purchased Gravity Forms today--version 1.6.7. I haven't checked to see what the latest version is. Since I just purchased it, I was under the understanding that I purchased the latest version.</p> <p>I am willing to try to install it through the FTP process provided there are no issues with the plugin working with WP 3.1.1. I'll await to hear from you.</p> <p>Thanks so much for your help! I so very much appreciate it :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/fatal-error-upon-trying-to-activate#post-76574 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 15:23:54 +0000 David Peralty 76574@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Are you using the latest WordPress and Gravity Forms releases?
