“Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ”

Question

I have a function(this is exactly how it appears, from the top of my file):

Answer 1

This errors says your function is already defined ; which can mean :

• you have the same function defined in two files
• or you have the same function defined in two places in the same file
• or the file in which your function is defined is included two times (so, it seems the function is defined two times)

I think your facing problem at 3rd position the script including this file more than one time.So, you can solve it by using require_once instead of require or include_once instead of include for including your functions.php file -- so it cannot be included more than once.
