Hi, I just want to ask for help, I tried using some of the plugins like facebook, spamforum. But It didn't work. Tried some troubleshooting still not working. Now can't save settings and all got 500 page error. Removing all plugins installed solved the plugin.

When do you plan releasing new version of plugins?
When do you plan releasing new version of visiolist?

Thanks.

What shall I do now? Stick to the simple one?

That sounds like you did not installed those plugins, but just uploaded them to ftp. That's correct?

some plugins modify the database, like facebook, its suggested you upload the downloaded zip via admin -> plugins. When doing that it automatic performs the updates and put the files on your ftp.
If you can't do it that way due server limitations and do a manual upload, you need need to visit admin -> plugins afterwards and click the install icon for the plugins in question ( if no icon = no database changes )

I can't install using via admin. i still got an error 500. Even changing version of php 5.5,5.6 and 7.0..
Uploading via ftp still can't install when clicking install icon..error 500. I dont know what to do and how to use some plugins.. Can't wait you release the new version..i hope it will solve.

Ah ok I found the issue, the plugin install file was not updated when we switched from MySQL to mysqli, it uses hardcoded MySQL function instead our db wrapper function

please open plugins/facebook/install.php

Code: 
mysql_num_rows
replace the word above ( found 2 times ) with the following
Code: 
$DB->num_rows
That should fix the issue with facebook plugin. If you have issues with install on other plugins, most likely the same issue
Ill update and check all plugins again and post updates along with VL 1.6

It didn't work when installing via admin. I need to install it via FTP. It works.
Problem is the plugin facebook is not allowing permission. It might be the facebook since they upgraded their dev UI or the code in plugins.

Yea, that might be. Those permissions are quite old to say it nicely :) Looking at their docs, things changed 200%

Ill have to rewrite the plugin, 1.6 not fixes that. Its the FB api which changed. So need to test myself. Will give you an update next few days
