Error message: Cannot declare class Nps_Survey, because the name is already in use. * I have tried reinstalling the plugin and the error appears again. * The only solution I’ve found is restoring to my last backup and deactivating the automatic update for this plugin. * Do you know how I can update the plugin without getting this error? * Thanks! * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffatal-error-when-the-plugin-updates%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Support [sushma_kure](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sushmak02/) * (@sushmak02) * [1 year, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-when-the-plugin-updates/#post-18263987) * Hi, * Thank you for reaching out and reporting this issue. * It seems like the error you’re encountering is specific to your environment, as our team is not able to replicate this on our end. * To ensure a quicker resolution, I recommend reaching out to our official [support centre](https://ultimateelementor.com/contact/).

We’ve looked into the issue, and it seems it might be caused by older versions of plugins or themes on your site. Specifically, if you’re using the Starter Template plugin, please make sure it’s updated to the latest version. We’ve noticed this issue occurs on sites where the Starter Template plugin hasn’t been updated. * That said, this error shouldn’t happen even with older versions of plugins. Our developers are already working on a fix, and we’ll release an update as soon as possible to address this. In the meantime, we suggest you to update the plugins and theme on your website to resolve fatal error. * Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work on resolving this! * Kind regards, Ankush 🙂 * Thread Starter [neusfi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neusfi/) * (@neusfi) * [1 year, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-when-the-plugin-updates/#post-18268770) * Hi Sushma and Ankush, * Thank you very much for your replies. Ankush, that was it, I’ve done as suggested and now the updated version doesn’t produce the fatal error. Everything works fine! Thanks!! * Neus * [Ankush Thakare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iankusht/) * (@iankusht) * [1 year, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-when-the-plugin-updates/#post-18269234) * Hi [@neusfi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neusfi/), You’re very welcome! 😊 I’m so glad to hear that resolved the issue and everything is working perfectly now.
