    I have a WooCommerce site I am attempting to move.

    I have the database setup. I installed the files. When I try to go anywhere, front-end or admin I get this error:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class WC_Widget in /home/myusername/public_html/directory/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/abstracts/abstract-wc-widget.php on line 220

    I have no idea what to do.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    I am going to answer my own question because I figured out a work around.

    1- Make sure you have your database setup
    2- WordPress site uploaded

    At this point if you get the same error I did, you will not be able to do anything. So….

    1- FTP into the plugins directory
    2- Delete the woocommerce folder. (this is the initial woocommerce installation plugin)
    3- Install a fresh new woocommerce installation into the plugins directory that you download from the WordPress repository
    4- Refresh your browser and go to yoursite/directory of install if any/install.php
    5- Follow the prompts

    It should tell you that you have a database installed already and to login. That is all there is to it. Only took me 12 hours to figure this out:)
