 * so i installed the plugin code snippets and i tried adding this function;
    function
   fullframe_child_theme_setup() { // Used for Featured Content, Featured Grid Content
   and Archive/blog Featured Image add_image_size( ‘fullframe-featured-content’,
   400, 225, true); // used in Featured Content Options Ratio 16:9 } add_action(‘
   after_setup_theme’, ‘fullframe_child_theme_setup’, 11 );
 * when i activated the code it gave me this fatal error and now i cant get to my
   dashboard.
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare fullframe_child_theme_setup() (previously declared
   in /home/calclaua/public_html/wp-content/plugins/functions.php:15) in /home/calclaua/
   public_html/wp-content/plugins/code-snippets/includes/snippet-ops.php(446) : 
   eval()’d code on line 4

 * This error is happening because there are two functions in your site with the
   same name. One is added through code snippets, from the error message the other
   seems to be in the file at /home/calclaua/public_html/wp-content/plugins/functions.
   php.
 * You’ll need access to your site files either through a file browser in your hosting
   control panel, or FTP. Deleting the fullframe_child_theme_setup() function from
   that functions.php file (or if there’s nothing else in there, deleting the file
   completely) should solve the issue. Remember to take a backup of the file before
   making any changes, just in case, as without knowing the purpose of the file 
   I can’t say what else may be in there and how important it is.
