If you use the Ocean Extra plugin on WordPress, or use it together with the OceanWP template, you have likely encountered an issue with the Ocean Extra plugin after the latest update. So take a look, how the problem with the Ocean Extra plugin could be fixed. After update plugin displays the following error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare oceanwp_webfonts_enqueue() (previously declared in /wp-content/themes/oceanwp/inc/customizer/controls/typography/webfonts.php:128) in /wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/compatibility/ocean.php on line 94
How to solve the problem with the Ocean Extra plugin?
This is an error on the part of the plugin developer and can be resolved in the following way.
First, you need to download the new versions of both the template and the plugin, which are available in the official WordPress repository.
template: https://cs.wordpress.org/themes/oceanwp/
plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ocean-extra/
To manually update both the template and plugin, you need to use FTP. This ensures that you are using the latest versions for both the template and plugin.
Problem with missing file after update
After this update, you may encounter another error where PHP cannot find the file /wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/freemius/includes/sdk/Exceptions/Exception.php. This error is likely to occur only on a Linux web server, as it is again a developer error. This time, the problem is with the case sensitivity (which is usually only an issue on Linux, which distinguishes between lowercase and uppercase letters).
The problem arises because the source code of one of the scripts uses the path to the file /Exceptions/Exception.php. However, the folder and file are actually named with a lowercase “e” at the beginning. If you rename the file and folder to use an uppercase “E”, the problem will be resolved.
Source code path: /wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/freemius/includes/sdk/Exceptions/Exception.php
Real path on FTP: /wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/freemius/includes/sdk/exceptions/exception.php
