Expected Behavior

I'm able to activate the plugin when running on PHP 8.2.25

Describe what should happen.

Actual Behavior

Describe what actually happens.

Just sent a site live, installed Stream and it went straight to ‘activate’ (so must have already been installed even though it was not showing). On activate I get ‘Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error’. I have deleted plugin and reinstalled same deal.

Here’s the log (actual domain replaced with the word ‘site’ in these paths for privacy)

AH01071: Got error ‘PHP message: PHP Warning: Undefined global variable $wp_stream in [/var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/stream/stream.php](https://daphne.creativewebhosting.com.au:8443/smb/file-manager/code-editor?currentDir=%2Fhttpdocs%2Fwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fstream&subscriptionId=25&file=stream.php&redirect=%2Fsmb%2Flog-file%2Fbrowser%2Fid%2F25) on line 67; PHP message: PHP Warning: Attempt to read property “install” on null in [/var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/stream/includes/db-updates.php](https://daphne.creativewebhosting.com.au:8443/smb/file-manager/code-editor?currentDir=%2Fhttpdocs%2Fwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fstream%2Fincludes&subscriptionId=25&file=db-updates.php&redirect=%2Fsmb%2Flog-file%2Fbrowser%2Fid%2F25) on line 20; PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function install() on null in [/var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/stream/includes/db-updates.php](https://daphne.creativewebhosting.com.au:8443/smb/file-manager/code-editor?currentDir=%2Fhttpdocs%2Fwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fstream%2Fincludes&subscriptionId=25&file=db-updates.php&redirect=%2Fsmb%2Flog-file%2Fbrowser%2Fid%2F25):20\nStack trace:\n#0 [internal function]: wp_stream_update_auto_308()\n#1 [/var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/stream/classes/class-install.php](https://daphne.creativewebhosting.com.au:8443/smb/file-manager/code-editor?currentDir=%2Fhttpdocs%2Fwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fstream%2Fclasses&subscriptionId=25&file=class-install.php&redirect=%2Fsmb%2Flog-file%2Fbrowser%2Fid%2F25)(340): call_user_func()\n#2 [/var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/stream/classes/class-install.php](https://daphne.creativewebhosting.com.au:8443/smb/file-manager/code-editor?currentDir=%2Fhttpdocs%2Fwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fstream%2Fclasses&subscriptionId=25&file=class-install.php&redirect=%2Fsmb%2Flog-file%2Fbrowser%2Fid%2F25)(111): WP_Stream\\Install->update()\n#3 [/var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/stream/classes/class-install.php](https://daphne.creativewebhosting.com.au:8443/smb/file-manager/code-editor?currentDir=%2Fhttpdocs%2Fwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fstream%2Fclasses&subscriptionId=25&file=class-install.php&redirect=%2Fsmb%2Flog-file%2Fbrowser%2Fid%2F25)(77): WP_Stream\\Install->check()\n#4 [/var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/stream/classes/class-db-driver-wpdb.php](https://daphne.creativewebhosting.com.au:8443/smb/file-manager/code-editor?currentDir=%2Fhttpdocs%2Fwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fstream%2Fclasses&subscriptionId=25&file=class-db-driver-wpdb.php&redirect=%2Fsmb%2Flog-file%2Fbrowser%2Fid%2F25)(166): WP_Stream\\Install->__construct()\n#5 [/var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/stream/classes/class-plugin.php](https://daphne.creativewebhosting.com.au:8443/smb/file-manager/code-editor?currentDir=%2Fhttpdocs%2Fwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fstream%2Fclasses&subscriptionId=25&file=class-plugin.php&redirect=%2Fsmb%2Flog-file%2Fbrowser%2Fid%2F25)(163): WP_Stream\\DB_Driver_WPDB->setup_storage()\n#6 [/var/www/vhosts/site/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/stream/stream.php](https://daphne.creativewebhosting.com.au:8443/smb/file-manager/code-editor?currentDir=%2Fhttpdocs%2Fwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fstream&subscriptionId=25&file=stream.php&redirect=%2Fsmb%2Flog-file%2Fbrowser%2Fid%2F25)(42): WP_Stream\\Plugin->__construct()\n#…’, referer: https://site/wp-admin/plugins.php
