    SOS! I have multiple sites with two different hosts that have crashed today. I have spoken with tech support with both hosting companies, and was told it was a conflict in the theme? The following is the fatal error received:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare file_get_contents_curl() (previously declared in /home/thecal8/public_html/wp-content/themes/genesis/lib/shortcodes/footer.php(1) : eval()'d code:1) in /home/thecal8/public_html/wp-content/themes/genesis/lib/structure/footer.php(1) : eval()'d code on line 10

    I would greatly appreciate any assistance in resolving this matter.

    Thanks!

    Did you copy this function from genesis to your child theme?

    redeclare file_get_contents_curl()

    I'm sorry are you telling me I should? I'm starting to think I've been hacked. I ran the site through Sucuri and received malware warnings. Also received malware warnings for my other site bgldesigns.com, which is hosted by a different company. Could this be the issue?

    Hi, rbrown08,

    Do you have an active social media plugin on your site? If so, try disabling it to see if the error stops.
