Arras WordPress Theme Community Forums → General Help → Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _checkactive_widgets()
A few days here, the error described below appears when I try to access the options issue.
I can not change anything, I need help.
I am Brazilian, and use the Arras Theme 1.3.6 in the www.anormal-anm.com
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _checkactive_widgets() in /home/a102396/public_html/wp-content/themes/arras-theme_13/library/admin/templates/functions.php on line 191
This reply might be too late but may help others who come across this again.
I had the same prob even with the latest arras 1.4.3 and the prev one. it seems it occurs due to the widgets being used in a previous theme, so on resetting/clearing them, re-installing the theme again then i was able to avoid this error.

Stickied. Thanks for the heads up
Hi
I have the same problem with arras 1.4.3 :
Cannot redeclare _verify_activeatewidgets() (previously declared in /homepages/23/d211483291/htdocs/YPS/wp-content/themes/arras-theme/functions.php:63) in /homepages/23/d211483291/htdocs/YPS/wp-content/themes/arras-theme/library/admin/templates/functions.php on line 224
" re-installing the theme again" doesn't solve the problem.
What can i do ?
Greentings 
those functions are already declared in other php files (dependencies). If you want to keep the role of your function, declare it with other name.
if you accidentally redefine a function in the same file please make sure that you want a function to do different stufffs. PHP doesn't support function overloading outside of classes.
Please make sure that you have only one function declared in your code. If you want a function to do different stuffs, please check the parameters of the functions (how are they declared and what meaning has each one)

Thank you, thank you, thank you shadab.... this has been doing my head in for over a week now! Just followed what you said and bam no more error message! 
Thanks again friend
I think the same problem is happening commonly. I and one of friend also had the same issue some days back but he has thought it was some glitch with his VMware Hosting . We tried our level best and failed. One of our senior helped us to sort out the issue very simply. So I decided to share it with you all. Resetting or cleaning the previous widgets being used in a previous theme can help you to get out of this trouble. It helped me very quickly

Today I've the same trouble.
I did the wordpress 3.3 upgrade and the site goes down with a fatal error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Arras_Widget_Tag_Cloud::WP_Widget_Tag_Cloud() in C:\WebSites\asbasalti.it_2acfyhe61lsfehw9\wp-content\themes\arras\library\widgets.php on line 404
I don't know what to do.
There's someone can help me? Thanks a lot
I think you need to update to Arras Theme 1.5.1.1. See this announcement by the theme developer: http://www.arrastheme.com/forums/topic7 … lable.html
Or, maybe even the latest version of the theme.
