Title: fatal Error Last modified: October 30, 2018 --- # fatal Error * Resolved [costind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/costind/) * (@costind) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3045/) * Whilst developing a snippet I have inadvertently made a mistake by turning on 2 snippets that clash with each other. Now when I try to access the web site I get this message: – * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare create_entry_after_submission() (previously declared in /homepages/38/d514219189/htdocs/app545640219/wp-content/plugins/code-snippetsOLD/ php/snippet-ops.php(353) : eval()’d code:2) in /homepages/38/d514219189/htdocs/ app545640219/wp-content/plugins/code-snippetsOLD/php/snippet-ops.php(353) : eval()’ d code on line 28 * I can deactivate the plugin in order to access the web site. But this does not solve the problem of accessing the snippets to rectify the errors. When I reactivate the plugin I crash the website and get the above code. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffatal-error-3045%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [Shea Bunge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bungeshea/) * (@bungeshea) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3045/#post-10830613) * I’d recommend [using safe mode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-i-just-activated-a-snippet-and-my-site-broke/) to solve this. * Thread Starter [costind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/costind/) * (@costind) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3045/#post-10831178) * Many thanks for that. It sounded promising, but unfortunately it didn’t work. * Plugin Author [Shea Bunge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bungeshea/) * (@bungeshea) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3045/#post-10831187) * Did you add this line to your `wp-config.php` file? * `define( 'CODE_SNIPPETS_SAFE_MODE', true );` * After adding it, your snippet code should temporarily stop running, so you can log in to your site and disable the problem snippet. * Thread Starter [costind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/costind/) * (@costind) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3045/#post-10831206) * Many thanks. I will have a look at this. * Thread Starter [costind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/costind/) * (@costind) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3045/#post-10838227) * I do not have access to WP-config. * Is it possible to access the folder where each snippet code is stored? * Thread Starter [costind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/costind/) * (@costind) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3045/#post-10846448) * Any thoughts on my previous comments? I am anxious to access the snippets because I did not keep a copy of the code therefore I cannot delete the plugin and re- install. * Regards * David * [poniel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/poniel/) * (@poniel) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3045/#post-10858123) * Hey Man, I contacted my host and they have a live chat where I was able to get them to go in and out of safe mode for me. That way all I did was go into the admin through safe mode and could edit my snippets. Have you tried contacting your host? * Plugin Author [Shea Bunge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bungeshea/) * (@bungeshea) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3045/#post-10858554) * Hey [@costind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/costind/) * If you look at the page I linked, there is an alternative way of enabling safe mode that is much easier to use. * Visit your site URL with `/wp-admin/admin.php?page=snippets&snippets-safe-mode =true` on the end (e.g. [https://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=snippets&snippets-safe-mode=true](https://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=snippets&snippets-safe-mode=true)). Log in with an administrator account and you should be able to disable snippets without them running on your site. * Thread Starter [costind](https://wordpress.org/support/users/costind/) * (@costind) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-3045/#post-10864485) * Thank you for that.
