    Whilst developing a snippet I have inadvertently made a mistake by turning on 2 snippets that clash with each other. Now when I try to access the web site I get this message: –

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare create_entry_after_submission() (previously declared in /homepages/38/d514219189/htdocs/app545640219/wp-content/plugins/code-snippetsOLD/php/snippet-ops.php(353) : eval()’d code:2) in /homepages/38/d514219189/htdocs/app545640219/wp-content/plugins/code-snippetsOLD/php/snippet-ops.php(353) : eval()’d code on line 28

    I can deactivate the plugin in order to access the web site. But this does not solve the problem of accessing the snippets to rectify the errors. When I reactivate the plugin I crash the website and get the above code.

    I’d recommend using safe mode to solve this.

    Many thanks for that. It sounded promising, but unfortunately it didn’t work.

    Did you add this line to your wp-config.php file?

    define( 'CODE_SNIPPETS_SAFE_MODE', true );

    After adding it, your snippet code should temporarily stop running, so you can log in to your site and disable the problem snippet.

    Many thanks. I will have a look at this.

    I do not have access to WP-config.

    Is it possible to access the folder where each snippet code is stored?

    Any thoughts on my previous comments? I am anxious to access the snippets because I did not keep a copy of the code therefore I cannot delete the plugin and re-install.

    Hey Man, I contacted my host and they have a live chat where I was able to get them to go in and out of safe mode for me. That way all I did was go into the admin through safe mode and could edit my snippets. Have you tried contacting your host?

    Hey @costind

    If you look at the page I linked, there is an alternative way of enabling safe mode that is much easier to use.

    Visit your site URL with /wp-admin/admin.php?page=snippets&snippets-safe-mode=true on the end (e.g. https://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=snippets&snippets-safe-mode=true). Log in with an administrator account and you should be able to disable snippets without them running on your site.

    Thank you for that. Unfortunately it didn’t work, ‘Access Denied’.
