Fatal error past WP 6.3.2

    Hi,

    I’m having a similar issue to this topic. Rolling back to WP 6.3.2 fixes the issue.

    When switching is activated, the site returns “Fatal error: Cannot redeclare,” citing a function path (in functions.php) that was previously declared in the publicly active theme. It indicates that the switched theme is loading the public-facing functions and then the functions in the test theme.

    The theme I am switching to is very simple, just index.php, functions.php (one function), and style.css. When I switch to the Twenty Twenty-Four theme, it seems to work. Are there additional theme elements that are needed to make the plugin work with newer versions of WP?

    Thank you

    Glad to help. As explained on that other thread:

    I’m not sure what might be happening, but if the issue can be repeated on default WordPress site, I can investigate and try to resolve any issue asap. What are the steps so I can repeat the issue?

    In other words, in order for me to fix the issue, I need to be able to repeat it on default WP setup.

    Hi Jeff,

    I’m not sure how to recreate the issue… it just happens when I activate the switch to this theme that previously worked. So I guess it’s an issue with the theme itself. Maybe some new theme requirements with the latest WP versions that I need to study.

    If I can figure out what is causing it I’ll report back.

    Thank you for your help

    Hi @janorris,

    Yeah that would be the first thing to check, whether or not it’s a theme-related issue. From there, test your other plugins, and also check the site’s error log for any related entries would be very useful.
