Omeka has encountered an error

We are encountering an odd error in Omeka site. I can get to all the site’s Simple Pages, but when attempting to access a Collection or an Item on the Public Side, get the “Omeka has encountered an error” message. The error message states:

Exception

Any ideas what might be going on? We can get to the Admin side of things fine, but the Public View is not working.

The error indicates that it is a problem with the SocialBookmarking plugin, so turning that off will almost certainly fix it.

That error typically happens when the server can’t access the service that the plugin uses, so if the site worked before, but not now, I’d guess that some configuration on the server has changed.

Thanks, I noticed that in the error log and just deactivated the SocialBookmarking plugin and that seems to have fixed the error.
