# shortcode error displaying on page

 * After updating to WordPress 5.0.3, the sermons page is publicly displaying the
   following error (followed by a normal display of the sermons feed):
 * Notice: Constant WPFC_SM_SHORTCODE already defined in /home/saintmarks/public_html/
   wp-content/plugins/sermon-manager-for-wordpress/includes/class-sm-shortcodes.
   php on line 980
 * How should I address this? My predecessor in this position asked this same question
   7 months ago and received no replies, so we’ve just been living with it. It’s
   not causing any problem with functionality that we can tell — it’s just irritating.
   Advice about how to camouflage the error message is just as good as suggestions
   for actually clearing the error — we just don’t want to have to look at it anymore.

 * Sounds like a theme issue. Try switching to one of the WordPress themes, like
   TwentyNineteen and see if that cures it.
