    I’ve digged a bit deeper into that issue. Reason is that a snippet includes the definition of the mentioned function. Each use of the snippet causes a repetitive definition of the same function which is not allowed in PHP. I’ve encapsulated the function definition by a if (!function_exists(randomString)) { } which resolved the issue.

    However, I’m still wondering why this hasn’t been a problem before as the resp. snippet is in use for quite some time (prior to WP 5.6).

    By the way, when will PostSnippets be made fully compatible with WP 5.6, resp. confirmed to be compatible?
