# Error comparing snapshot

 * Not a great start investigating this plugin. Installed it (no errors), saved 
   a snapshot (no errors), changed a single checkbox in on plugin (WPFusion) and
   then tried to compare the snapshot with the current tables. Received this error.
 * ‘An error has occurred. Snapshot data has been compromised. Saved metadata does
   not match data in the DB. Contact WP Reset support if data is critical, or restore
   it via a MySQL GUI.”
 * I haven’t done anything else at all with the plugin (this was the first thing
   I tried, since it’s an important scenario for me).
 * Running WordPress 5.2.4.
 * Any ideas on why this occurred and how to resolve.

 * I created another snapshot and now I receive the following when I try to compare
   it.
 * “An undocumented error has occurred. Please refresh the page and try again.”
 * So haven’t been able to do anything concrete with the plugin yet.

 * Hi, thank you for giving WPR a try. Sorry to hear you’re having problems 🙁
 * Can you please share the list of active plugins on that site?

 * Thank you for the response. I have deactivated all plugins except WP Reset but
   still receive this error. My theme is the latest version of Astra. I have tried
   with Trenty Nineteen, though, but the problem remains.

 * Thank you for testing that. So it’s not a conflict with any other plugins or 
   the theme. That’s good and bad news in one 🙂
 * A new version of the plugin will be out either early Monday or Tuesday morning
   and will have some improvements in for snapshots. So hopefully that will fix 
   it.
 * Aside from that, I have one more idea. When you do a compare, can you please 
   open the console and see what the response for the AJAX request is? Is it a valid
   JSON object or are there some extra errors printed in the response. If you need
   more info on how to do that, let me know.

 * Thank you again. Yes, dev tools reports this as a 500 error.

 * This error is reported in the debug log…
 * Failed opening required ‘../wp-content/plugins/wp-reset/libs/Diff/SequenceMatcher.
   php’ (include_path=’.:’) in /…/wp-content/plugins/wp-reset/libs/diff.php on line

 * Also found this earlier in the debug log.
 * Cannot declare class Diff, because the name is already in use in /home/xxx/webapps/
   xxx/wp-content/plugins/wp-reset/libs/diff.php on line 46
 * By the way, after finding these errors I deleted and downloaded/activated the
   plugin again, but the problem remains. The error above occurred when I first 
   installed the plugin but not since, even though it’s been deleted and installed
   again since.

 * Thank you for the detailed report!
 * Good news – the “Cannot declare class Diff” has already been fixed! It’s in this
   next release. We’re putting finishing touches on it. I’ll let you know as soon
   as it’s out.
 * The other bug, with the missing file. Not quite sure what to tell you 🙁 File
   is definitely in the plugin ZIP and we haven’t heard any other reports on it.
   And since you reinstalled … even if it broke the first time it should have unpacked
   properly. I’ll have my colleague have a look, and circle back to you ASAP.

 * Thank you. Very eager to try this out properly, so I look forward to the update.
 * I, too, was / am confused by the missing file, since I see it exactly where I
   would expect it to be. I have no explanation of that.
 * Thank you again.

 * Found the other bug!!!
    In 2 years nobody saw it or reported 🙁
 * Will let you know once we have the new version up.

 * Thank you. Can you give me a rough idea of how long we’re looking at? I purchased
   the LTD (5 sites) but 3 days in haven’t been able to use the plugin yet, so hope
   to have a good chance to use and assess your plugin.
 * Thank you.

 * This is the free version, not PRO. Completely different code-base …
    For everything
   PRO related please email us and our support staff will help you ASAP.
 * Update for free will be available tomorrow.

 * Thank you. I was assuming there was some commonality and this is my first exposure
   to your app. I will write to support about the Pro version.
 * Thank you.

 * In general, commonality – yes. But in this particular case – not that much 🙂
 * You’re welcome 👋🏻
