[Resolved] my site just crushed

[Kaleem]

hi, im getting the following error when i try to open my site. please kindly help.

/home3/tajforum/public_html/wp-content/themes/generatepress/inc/plugin-compat.php on line 27

Hi there,

What’s the full error? That’s just the line telling us where the error is.

[Tom]

That line is just a closing bracket. Make sure your plugin-compat.php file is identical to this: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/1.3.48/inc/plugin-compat.php

[Kaleem]

thanks for the quick response, i like that! so please can i replace the whole code with the one u just posted?

[Tom]

Yes, as long as you’re using GP 1.3.48.

[Tom]

Before 1.3.47, that line called the do_action() function.

Without seeing your full error, I’m not sure what exactly is happening. But if it’s saying do_action() isn’t defined, it means something in your WP installation is broken and you should re-install WordPress (Dashboard > Updates).

[Kaleem]

sorry, i think this is the full error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare generate_setup_woocommerce() (previously declared in /home3/tajforum/public_html/wp-content/themes/generatepress/inc/plugin-compat.php:12) in /home3/tajforum/public_html/wp-content/themes/generatepress/inc/plugin-compat.php on line 26

[Tom]

Yea not sure what’s happening there, the function isn’t re-declared, and those lines aren’t even the lines with any functions being declared: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/1.3.48/inc/plugin-compat.php

I assume that file has been changed on your end somehow. Try replacing it as I suggested.

[Kaleem]

i just replace the codes but still the same error

[Tom]

From a coding perspective that’s not possible.

Are you using a child theme?

[Kaleem]

yes im using child theme

[Tom]

Make sure the child theme only has files you need to overwrite. If the child theme has all of the same files, you will get errors.

You can find a good starter child theme here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/

[Kaleem]

i think my theme is not update, so let me update it and see. but can that really cause the error?

[Tom]

That error says that function is being defined twice, which it isn’t in the parent theme. If it’s being defined twice, it must be in the child theme as well.

[Kaleem]

in the child theme i have only style.css and function.php. i did not add anything new for long ago.
