Question

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

bjohas opened this issue 4 years ago · comments

Hello,

when I install the plugin from within a Wordpress install (latest version, latest stable PHP), I get:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Fatal error: Cannot declare class Application_Passwords, because the name is already in use in /srv/data/web/vhosts/convet.org/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/application-passwords/class.application-passwords.php on line 9

Any tips?

Thanks!!!

@bjohas I just tried installing Application Passwords on a WordPress 5.5.1 install running PHP 7.3.5 and do not have issues activating the plugin. Mind sharing the export from your Site Health Info so others can try to replicate your issue and better assist?

@bjohas Could there be another instance active of this same plugin under the must-use plugins, for example? Searching for Application_Passwords from the root of your WP instance could help identify this.

@kasparsd - thanks for the comment!

There's nothing relating to Application_Passwords. However, I've got these two

./wp-content/plugins/application-passwords/class.application-passwords.php
./wp-content/plugins/distributor-stable/vendor/georgestephanis/application-passwords/class.application-passwords.php

(and other files in those dirs).

Does that look ok?

@bjohas Looks like you have the Distributor plugin https://github.com/10up/distributor installed which bundles the this plugin already. That means you can't have the standalone version of the same plugin installed as long as the Distributor plugin is active.
