 * There is code somewhere attempting to re-declare the same class. Does the error
   message tell us where second declaration is? The already in use location isn’t
   very helpful information by itself. When you manually updated, did you first 
   delete certain folders as instructed [on this docs page](https://wordpress.org/support/article/updating-wordpress/#manual-update)(
   step 1, item 4)?
 * Before reactivating plugins after manual update, switch to a default theme (assuming
   one is installed) by temporarily renaming your normal theme’s folder. Then log
   into the site. There should be no error now. Restore your normal theme’s proper
   folder name and re-activate it. Then re-activate your plugins. If and when the
   error returns, the last activated is the cause.
