Cannot Load Kramer

The Kramer plugin is a nice tool that can display inbound links to blog posts. In other words, you can find out who’s linking to you.

I downloaded the plugin and installed it. When I tried to configure it with Options->Kramer menu, I got an error. Wordpress promptly told me that it:

Cannot load Kramer.php

When I tried to save my options. Okay, NOW what?

The Problem:
The “cannot load Kramer.php” error message when trying to configure the plugin’s options.

The Cause:
The README is inaccurate. This plugin doesn’t install the same way as the bazillion OTHER plugins for Wordpress. This one is special.

The Solution:
In your plugins directory, you probably have a Kramer subdirectory with four files in it. Three of those files are unnecessary… and ALL of them are in the wrong place. Copy the “Kramer.php file” and put it directly into the plugins directory. Don’t put it in a subdirectory… drop it right there in “plugins”.

It should work now.
