Getting those errors after a successful merge. *** the FTP path for obvious reasons.

Any ideas what the issue is?

We'd need to see the code around those lines; it's nice liking some quotes or something on those lines.

$working_dir = dirname(__FILE__);
if(!$working_dir)
{
	$working_dir = '.';
}

// Load main MyBB core file which begins all of the magic
require_once $working_dir."/inc/init.php";

$shutdown_queries = array();

// Read the usergroups cache as well as the moderators cache
$groupscache = $cache->read("usergroups");

// If the groups cache doesn't exist, update it and re-read it
if(!is_array($groupscache))

	$cache->update_usergroups();
	$groupscache = $cache->read("usergroups");
}

if(!defined('THIS_SCRIPT'))
{
	define('THIS_SCRIPT', '');
}

$current_page = my_strtolower(basename(THIS_SCRIPT));

// Send page headers - don't send no-cache headers for attachment.php
if($current_page != "attachment.php")
{
	send_page_headers();
}

That should be enough, lemme know if you need more.

EDIT: eval("\$header = \"".$templates->get("header")."\";");

eval("\$footer = \"".$templates->get("footer")."\";");

I think it's these two that are causing the issues.

For some reason this plugin won't work after the merge, which seems to be causing the issue.

Post the contents of your header and footer templates please.

Header:

<?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/header.php'; ?>

<section id="forums">
	<header>
		<h1>Community</h1>
	</header>
	
	<section>
			<a name="top" id="top"></a>
				{$pm_notice}
				{$bannedwarning}
				{$bbclosedwarning}
				{$unreadreports}
				{$pending_joinrequests}
				<navigation>

Footer:

<!-- The following piece of code allows MyBB to run scheduled tasks. DO NOT REMOVE -->{$task_image}<!-- End task image code -->
{$auto_dst_detection}
	</section>
</section>
<?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/sidebar.php'; ?>
<?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/footer.php'; ?>
<script type="text/javascript">jQuery.noConflict();</script>

Ah, you can't use PHP in templates unless you install the "PHP in templates" plugin.

PHP and Template Conditionals --- that one?

If so, it's already installed.

Turns out this was turned to off, problem fixed.

Glad its sorted ;D

Yes, not a merge issue either. Whenever there is a problem referencing a core file, it isn't the fault of the merge. Moved to general support just in case someone else runs into it.
