When I try to active the plugin, I get this “fatal error” message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/mbeck/public_html/wp-content/plugins/gcal-sidebar-0.11/gcal-sidebar.php on line 177

Can you help?

Thanks,
Martin

What version of PHP is installed on the server. PHP4 does not properly handle lines like that.

Try chaning this:
$event_link = $entry->link->attributes()->href;
To this:
$event_attr = $entry->link->attributes();
$event_link = $event_attr->href;

See if that resolves your problem.

Martin:
Please let me know if that works for you. I have an updated version to release, and if that resolves it. I’ll do that in the update as well.

I made the coding change, tried to active without success but then I found a way in my cPanel dashboard to switch to php5 … and the plugin installed fine. Thanks for your help.
