    Hi!

    I have just been on my website and noticed a few things weren’t loading properly and coding was visible on the home page etc. I assumed this was to do with some of the plugins that hadn’t been updated so I wen’t through all the plugins in my admin and updated them all. I also updated to the latest WordPress. But now my site won’t load at all and i get this fatal error message:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sydney_set_import_files() (previously declared in /customers/0/4/b/simonfinley.net/httpd.www/wp-content/plugins/sydney-toolbox/demo-content/setup.php:18) in /customers/0/4/b/simonfinley.net/httpd.www/wp-content/themes/sydney/demo-content/setup.php on line 12
    There has been a critical error on your website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.

    I can’t even log into the admin to try and fix it now. Can anyone offer any help in solving this issue?

    many thanks

    Simon

    The error message indicates a conflict related to the sydney-toolbox plugin.

    If you connect via ftp and rename the sydney-toolbox plugin’s folder (perhaps prefix the name with an underscore) then that plugin will not be loaded and the error should not occur.

    If that works to enable you to load the site and log into admin, seek support from the author of that plugin to resolve the issue.

    My site also has critical fetal issue. Showed as below. Do you might know why?

    @numeeja I did what you said and it worked thank you. I managed to get back into the admin and I’ve now deleted the plugin. It seems it was a problem that a lot of users were experiencing after updating wordpress but the plug in authors haven’t fixed the bug.

    Although there’s is still one small issue now that I have the site working again. There is still a bit of text showing at the top of the page that shouldn’t be there. The text is:

    Deprecated: contextual_help is deprecated since version 3.3.0! Use get_current_screen()->add_help_tab(), get_current_screen()->remove_help_tab() instead. in /customers/0/4/b/simonfinley.net/httpd.www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5152

    Do you know how I can get rid of this?

    many thanks

    That looks like a deprecated notice which doesn’t indicate that anything is actually broken, but a function which is not current best practice has been used, which may or may not be removed in a future version of WordPress.

    You can use the health check and troubleshooting plugin to identify whether this is caused by your theme or a plugin: https://make.www.ads-software.com/support/handbook/appendix/troubleshooting-using-the-health-check/

    You are probably seeing the notice due to a line in your wp-config.php enabling WP_DEBUG

    If you have a line in wp-config.php like:
    define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );

    you can turn off debugging by changing it to:
    define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );

    @chouncj – please start a new topic as your issue is the same as the one being discussed here
