 * I have a site using both the Error Log Monitor plugin and the WP-UserOnline plugin.
   Activating the latest version of both plugins causes a fatal error when accessing
   the backend. The error is logged as:
 * Fatal error: Cannot declare class scbWidget, because the name is already in use
   in /home/[myserver]/[mysite]/wp-content/plugins/wp-useronline/scb/Widget.php 
   on line 5
 * Here is my discussion with the WP-UserOnline dev: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2-88-8-fatal-error/#post-18215833](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2-88-8-fatal-error/#post-18215833)
 * The WP-UserOnline plugin author mentions that the SBC widget is no longer being
   maintained and is working off a fork which he maintains.

 * I replied in the thread you linked:

 * Summary: I’m not eager to switch to their fork since it has backwards-incompatible
   changes. But there is another way to fix the fatal error, and possibly also the
   other deprecation warning issue.
