 * Hi there,
 * Hope you guys can help me out with this problem.
    When I am on my website sometimes
   I get a blank page with this error message:
 * PHP Notice: Constant ABSPATH already defined in /public_html/wp-load.php on line
   22
 * Does anybody know what triggers this error?
 * Thank you in advance.

 * Hi,
 * It sounds like another plugin or theme might be trying to define ABSPATH again.
 * Or maybe ABSPATH is being defined again in wp-config.php
 * Have a look in your wp-config.php for anything that might say
 * `define('ABSPATH', 'some path');`
 * If it’s there, try removing it or change it so it looks like:
 *     ```
       if (!defined('ABSPATH') {
       define('ABSPATH', 'some path');
       }
       ```
   
 * if it’s not there, then try changing theme or disabling plugins to see if the
   problem goes away.
