 Hi dd32,

 I think it's important to note that we have all PHP errors/warnings being
 logged for our DEV and TEST sites. Since our TEST is a copy of PROD we
 decided turn on all errors for our PROD box for a few minutes and saw a
 ton PHP error messages that match what we saw in TEST but amplified. Which
 make sense, there is much more traffic hitting our PROD box versus or DEV
 and TEST.

 I asked myself the same question you asked me, why is this method being
 called so much and why is it clashing. So what I did was zip up the whole
 plugins folder and did a text search with WinRAR to get a list of all the
 plugins calling the function ''get_filesystem_method()''. I found four
 plugins that use the method and one of the plugins uses it five times. See
 screen shot below.

 On the more_entropy, I'm not sure if this is the way to go right now but
 this is why I'm here so thanks for any help you can provide.
