WordPress 3.3 Error

Wordpress 3.3 errorHow I woke up today to the “Upgrade Your WordPress to 3.3” message today!

Normally I don't worry about backing things up because I have a plugin that backs it up daily for me on autopilot, so I just clicked the upgrade link then all of a sudden got the FATAL ERROR message!  Dang it!!!!!  haha

Well I searched everywhere and tried tons of different things to fix it and found an easy solution to this wordpress 3.3 error.

Here is a video walkthrough on this wordpress 3.3 error

This wordpress error for me was caused by the plugin called Pop Up Domination.  I know a lot of internet marketers use this plugin so I thought I would get this blog out to help you out!

Steps to get rid of the WordPress 3.3 error with Popup Domination

  • Step 1 – Open up your FTP program and find and open your “plugins folder”
  • Step 2 – Rename the “popup-domination” plugin.  You can just put a dash and a number after it if you want

That will deactivate the plugin so you should have access to your back office again.  At this point you can rename the file back to the real name and just leave it deactivated…

If you would like to still use the Pop Up Domination plugin then just don't upgrade to wordpress 3.3 until the popup plugin updates to be compatible with the new wordpress update…

I Hope this helped you save a lot more time then it took me to fix this issue on my own.

Make it a great day!

If this wordpress 3.3 error has affected a different plugin let me know below, we can use the same process of deactivating those!

  2. Thanks for the tip Mike, hadn’t updated yet myself so you saved me from the inevitable problem with word press 3.3 Oh and by the way I can post comment now 😀

  3. Thank you so much posting so quickly the WordPress 3.3 Fatal Error that occurred with PopupDomination. I noticed the new version in my back office, but have not taken the time to install it. I don’t use that particular plug-in, but will let you know if I experience any other plug-in errors. You’re really on top of things to get that information out so quickly and it’s very much appreciated.

  4. Good work on that simple fix Mike!! I was also in freakout mode haha the popupdom guys probably have the inbox full of hundreds of unhappy customers by now >.< i'm hoping they step up and fix this issue because that popup was important. . cya later man have a good week 🙂
