Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class in wordpress plugin automatic update
I have bunch of plugins on blog. Today I decided to update some of them to the latest versions. One of the plugins is called “WordPress Automatic Upgrade”. This updates your entire wordpress system to the latest version and I have found it to be immensely useful.
However, when this plugin is activated and I try to update the other plugins, I get an error:
