please make sure that cache directory exists and it's writable.

Thank you for returning my message
The cache directory is there and is writable.

this is most likely a file access error. if you want you can send me your hosting detail in personal message to check it. otherwise I don't think there is anything else I can do. cheers

Hi @QA-Themes

Is this plugin compatible to work with Version 1.7.4?

The following error displayed when I tried to install on my site.

Answer 1

Nice Plugin - One recommendation. You might want to add a checkbox in Admin for letting users chose whether or not to allow nofollow or dofollow links to the blog as it might happen a user has Q2A and blogs on separate domains.
