Hi,

I installed the Newspaper 9 update this morning and everything worked fine.

I’ve just returned home and logged on and tried to activate the mobile theme plugin and I get this error..

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

Fatal error: Cannot declare class Mobile_Detect, because the name is already in use in /homepages/45/d744300787/htdocs/clickandbuilds/MoorlandsRadio/wp-content/plugins/td-mobile-plugin/Mobile_Detect.php on line 28

Can you please assist?

Thanks

Hi,

Please delete the plugin from …/wp-content/plugins/td-mobile-plugin ( host file ), and install it again ( you’ll find it here https://www.screencast.com/t/Va2eHHA7T ).
This should resolve your problem.

Thank you.

Hi,

I removed the plugin from the host file completely and reinstalled it again and get the same error message.

Will the issue be because I have Newspaper 8 installed but installed the Newspaper 9 update yesterday. Both 8 and 9 are showing in the themes folder. Do I need to delete 8 out of the folder?

Thanks

Hi,

Please go and download mobile theme plugin, you need to go on themeforest.net login with your account and download full document for Newspaper theme.
Try to remove again, and install the new one.

Thank you.

Hi,

This still hasn’t worked, i’ve reinstalled the theme and the system still says the same message.

The plugin is not installed and I can not see it on the host file yet it still says its there.

Thanks

Hi,

Lets try again please read this documentation How to update the theme from here.

Also if another plugin uses the same hook to install the plugin then you will have to disable all other plugins and install the mobile theme first. Then you can install your other plugins

Thank you for your understanding.
