Fatal error: Cannot redeclare has_shortcode() HELP!

That’s a problem with your theme – you can deactivate the theme by using FTP to rename the theme’s folder – on the server find it here:

wp-content
     themes
         pendulum.HOLD

That should let you login again as WP will use a default theme. Then ask the developer of your theme for help – as commercial themes are not supported on these forums.

ok thanks

Hi man if you have notepad++ or code editor, download the file, open the function.php.
CTRL+F and replace the has_shortcode into has_a_shortcode or something else.

hope this help

@devin lee

thanks for your response but i do not understand what you mean

I went in on both files and change the line from:

has_shortcode

to:

has_aa_shortcode in 1st file
has_a_shortcode in 2nd file

WordPress is back again and theme is working again. ??
