Hi!

I just installed the latest version of the pressbook. When activating the plugin (2.6. from the installation-instructions here: https://docs.pressbooks.org/installation/), I receive a 500 error.

My log says:

AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function HM\\Autoloader\\register_class_path() in [MYPATH]/wp-content/plugins/pressbooks/compatibility.php:135\nStack trace:

Any Ideas?

Thanks!!!

Looks like you didn’t follow the second step here. The auto loader file needs to be in mu-plugins. https://docs.pressbooks.org/installation/#part-2-pressbooks

Hi Ned, thanks for your answer. Yes, I did, the file “hm-autoloader.php” is located in the directory “/wp-content/plugins/mu-plugins”. The error persists.

Hi again, I was wrong, I had copied the autoloader in

“/ wp-content / plugins / mu-plugins”

and not in

“wp-content / mu-plugin”.

I corrected it and now it works. Thank you!

But it is supposed to be in wp-content/mu-plugins, not wp-content/plugins/mu-plugins. Please review the instructions.

yes, that was the mistake, now work it. Thank you very much!
