Cannot redeclare prismatic_highlight_inline_js() on Edit Page

Thanks for this great detailed report. I will look into this and try to resolve any issue. In the meantime, please let me know if any further/related information. Thank you, @dmrzzz.

Hey I am looking into this now, trying to follow the steps, but getting stuck on this part from step 3:

“add New Page “Test Page”, Option (kebab menu) > Code editor”

When I go to create a new page, there is no “Option” or “kebab menu” displayed or available anywhere. I am using latest WordPress and have tried to complete step 3 using both Classic and Block editors.

Hi @specialk, the Options menu is in the far top-right corner of the Edit screen, to the right of the Publish button.

(This is an older screenshot I found on wpbeginner.com; some other aspects look a bit different, but it accurately shows where to find the Options menu icon and the Code editor choice)

Here’s another reference: https://wordpress.com/go/tutorials/yes-the-wordpress-block-editor-has-a-code-view/

Thanks!

Oh okay thanks, so the issue happens with block editor context. I am familiar with the Options menu, just never heard it referred to as the “kebab menu” before. I will take another look and try to repeat this error on default WordPress.

After adding the code, publishing, and then updating again, I am getting no errors, either in the UI or browser console. After publishing, I can edit anywhere in the code content, post content, post title, and no errors. So guessing that there must be some other variable (perhaps another plugin) involved in this case..? Let me know how I can help.

I think this interaction got fixed by a recent-ish update to Table of Contents Plus. I can’t reproduce it in my own environment anymore either (WP 6.4.3, Table of Contents Plus 2402.1, Prismatic 3.4.2), but if I manually revert to Table of Contents Plus 2311 then I do see the issue again.

Marking resolved. Thanks!

Understood, thank you @dmrzzz.

Hi @specialk, I’m now seeing this again in my main WP 6.4.5 environment, and can also reproduce it from a fresh 6.5.5 install using the same steps as originally.

WordPress version 6.5.5
Active theme: Twenty Twenty-Four (version 1.1)
Current plugin: Prismatic (version 3.4.3)
PHP version 8.2.18

Error Details
=============
An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 232 of the file /home/dmrz/public_html/test3/wp-content/plugins/prismatic/inc/resources-enqueue.php. Error message: Cannot redeclare prismatic_highlight_inline_js() (previously declared in /home/dmrz/public_html/test3/wp-content/plugins/prismatic/inc/resources-enqueue.php:235)

Table of Contents Plus (the only other active plugin) is at version 2406.

Hopefully you will also be able to duplicate it now.

Great, please walk me thru the steps to repeat the issue, starting from default WordPress. That will enable me to investigate asap, thank you.

1. Log in to dashboard, go to Plugins.
2. Add New Plugin, search for Prismatic, Install Now, Activate.
3. Add New Plugin, search for Table of Contents Plus, Install Now, Activate.
4. Go to Settings > Prismatic. Under General, set Library = Highlight.js, Save Changes.
5. Click Pages > Add New Page
6. (The theme wants us to Choose a pattern, so pick the “About” pattern on the left.)
7. Click the Option menu in the upper right corner (icon showing three dots in a vertical line), and select Code editor
8. Type “Test Page” in the title box.
9. In the main box, delete all the prepopulated boilerplate code from the theme pattern (I use Ctrl-A to select it, then press Delete on my keyboard) and replace it with only the following:

[toc]
<pre><code class="language-perl">print 1+1;</code></pre>

4. Publish, and confirm Publish.
5. View Page.
6. Click Edit Page (in the black toolbar at the top of the screen) to try to edit the page again.
7. At this point, GUI displays “There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.” Meanwhile, PHP error log on the server says

[01-Jul-2024 19:49:40 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare prismatic_highlight_inline_js() (previously declared in /home/dmrz/public_html/test4/wp-content/plugins/prismatic/inc/resources-enqueue.php:235) in /home/dmrz/public_html/test4/wp-content/plugins/prismatic/inc/resources-enqueue.php on line 232

Hopefully that’s super clear; let me know if not.

Thank you, I am able to repeat the issue and will investigate, try to resolve for the next plugin update.

Hey @dmrzzz, I went to investigate and try to resolve but the plugin has been closed and no longer is available for download. Gonna go ahead and mark this thread as resolved to keep things organized. Let me know if/when the plugin becomes available again, will be glad to take another look and try to help, thank you.

Hi @specialk, Table of Contents Plus was adopted by a new maintainer and is now available again, and I’ve just confirmed that I can still reproduce the issue as above with

WordPress version 6.7
Active theme: Twenty Twenty-Five (version 1.0)
Current plugin: Prismatic (version 3.4.4)
PHP version 8.2.25

and Table of Contents Plus version 2411.

Thanks!

Oh great. I will take another look at this and see if there is anything I can do. Thank you @dmrzzz.
