Do you get an error as well? * [upyup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/upyup/) * (@upyup) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-duplicate-post-fatal-error-on-version-11/#post-1555458) * There is a conflict with the smooth slider ([http://www.clickonf5.org/smooth-slider](http://www.clickonf5.org/smooth-slider)) plugin as both define a function named register_mysettings() wich causes a fatal error * I had to change it to register_mysettings_dp() for it to pass * Last but not least, the “Duplicate” link under each post in the admin edit creen has disappeared since the plugin upgrade. It was very convenient, a pity it is not here any more * Hope it helps ! * Plugin Author [Enrico Battocchi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lopo/) * (@lopo) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-duplicate-post-fatal-error-on-version-11/#post-1555483) * > There is a conflict with the smooth slider > ([http://www.clickonf5.org/smooth-slider](http://www.clickonf5.org/smooth-slider)) plugin as both define a > function named register_mysettings() wich causes a fatal error > I had to change it to register_mysettings_dp() for it to pass * Thank you, it was my fault, I used a snippet from a tutorial but I forgot to change it to a safe name after testing it. * > Last but not least, the “Duplicate” link under each post in the admin > edit creen has disappeared since the plugin upgrade.

If you’re an Editor but the option is set to “Administrator”, you won’t see the “Duplicate” link. But you wouldn’t see the “Copy to a new draft” link on the edit post screen either – which I suppose you can still see, don’t you? * Do you use some other plugin which adds a link where the “Duplicate” one used to be? * Thanks for your help. * Plugin Author [Enrico Battocchi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lopo/) * (@lopo) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-duplicate-post-fatal-error-on-version-11/#post-1555494) * **upyp**, there is another user who didn’t get the “duplicate” link, he says that deactivating the plugin and reactivating again fixed the issue. Maybe it’ll work for you too… Meanwhile I’ll look if it’s something I can fix in the next version. * Thread Starter [marikamitsos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marikamitsos/) * (@marikamitsos) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-duplicate-post-fatal-error-on-version-11/#post-1555503) * Hi lopo, I did as suggested (deactivate->delete->install v1.1 from scratch) and it NOW WORKS. Thank you PS. I’ll leave this topic open for a few days(just in case…). Then we could tag it “resolved”. OK? * Plugin Author [Enrico Battocchi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lopo/) * (@lopo) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-duplicate-post-fatal-error-on-version-11/#post-1555510) * OK! Someone has suggested a possible conflict with a few other plugins, so I’m releasing a new version hoping to avoid this problem to people who haven’t upgraded yet. Feel free to report any bug or suggestion, here or on [my website](http://lopo.it/contatti/) * [upyup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/upyup/) * (@upyup) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-duplicate-post-fatal-error-on-version-11/#post-1555539) * hi lopo * version 3.1.1 does work very well, thanks for changing the function name! Upgrading wasn’t sufficient to make the duplicate link reapper, so as suggested I de and reactivated the plugin and now the duplicate link is back. Do not understand why, but it works ! * Many thanks for your proactivity 🙂 To me the case is closed * [upyup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/upyup/) * (@upyup) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-duplicate-post-fatal-error-on-version-11/#post-1555540) * iiich, previous post sent too early, so here are the answers to your questions 🙂 * I definitely was logged as an administrator, so I do not think it’s a role or capavbilities problem… and the only plugin I can see modifying the admin edit screen list is EG-Series, if it is of any help… Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: Duplicate Post] FATAL ERROR on version 1.1’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/duplicate-post/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2336666) * [Yoast Duplicate Post](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-post/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-post/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/duplicate-post/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/duplicate-post/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/duplicate-post/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/duplicate-post/reviews/) * 8 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [upyup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/upyup/) * Last activity: [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-duplicate-post-fatal-error-on-version-11/#post-1555540) * Status: resolved
