Cannot redeclare class FetchTweets_Template_Settings_Plain

Hi,

What templates do you have and have activated?

I’m using <?php echo do_shortcode('[fetch_tweets id="3710"]'); ?> on archive.php and single.php with a custom theme, and the code is still preforming properly.

I mean the plugin templates of Fetch Tweets.

Go to Dashboard -> Fetch Tweets -> Templates -> Installed Templates. Then you’ll see activated plugin templates there. Let me know what you have there.

This is the heart of my issue, any pages under Dashboard -> Fetch Tweets or Dashboard -> Plugins give me the error.

That being said, I’m using whatever the default template is.

Okay.

Do you see a folder named fetch-tweets in your theme folder located in .../wp-content/themes/[your theme folder]? If you do, rename it to fetch-tweets.bak or something. This will temporarily disables the custom template. Let me know if you don’t find one.

Theme folder does not contain a folder name fetch-tweets.

Have you installed a custom Fetch Tweets template plugin?

If yes, rename the folder of that plugin to something else. It will deactivate the plugin.

If no, can you go to the fetch tweets plugin template folder and see what folders are in there, located in ...wp-content/plugins/fetch-tweets/template/. You should see plain, single, and debug there. If there is something else, let me know.

I have not installed any custom Fetch Tweet template plugins.

I see only plain, single, an debug here: /wp-content/plugins/fetch-tweets/template/

Strange. Have you recently moved your site?

Open the settings.php file of the plain template and insert the following code right below the <?php notation and save.

if ( class_exists( 'FetchTweets_Template_Settings_Plain' ) ) {
    return;
}

This should fix the error but it does not solve the root problem. After that go to Dashboard -> Fetch Tweets -> Templates -> Installed Templates and let me know what templates are listed there.

I added the code to settings.php, it is the first thing right after the opening PHP tag and before the class ‘FetchTweets_Template_Settings_Plain’. Adding the code did not remove the error.

I’ve been rebuilding the site locally and recently moved the site to a staging environment on the live server.

You may be seeing a different PHP error now. If so, let me know the new PHP error message. The error may now indicate FetchTweets_Template_Settings_Single or something.

I see. Maybe it might have caused something on the plugin settings.

Still the same Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class FetchTweets_Template_Settings_Plain in /wp-content/plugins/fetch-tweets/template/plain/settings.php on line 219.

I didn’t notice the issue until I made the update to the plugin and I’m pretty sure I did this after I moved the site.

I’m not sure what causes it.

Open the plugin file FetchTweets_Templates_Base.php located in ...wp-content/plugins/fetch-tweets/include/class/template/FetchTweets_Templates_Base.php and modify the line 280.

include( $_sFunctionsPath );

to

include_once( $_sFunctionsPath );

It should at least remove the fatal error. After that let me know what are listed in the page accessed via Dashboard -> Fetch Tweets -> Templates -> Installed Templates.

Updated, still displays the same error.

What happens if you rename the plugin folder fetch-tweets to something else like fetch-tweets.bak located in .../wp-content/plugin?
