Yes, I’m aware I can disable debug logging. I’m just reporting so the cause gets fixed. Thank you.

    Hi Clifford P

    Thank you for reporting it.

    I tested it on my website, but I couldn’t replicate the issue.

    This warning happens when a plugin tries to define the same constant that we use on this file.

    We would need to find which plugin is causing the logs to replicate and check if the issue is on our plugin on any other plugin.

    Do you have a staging website for this website where the issue is happening, and we can take a closer look running some tests?

    Best Regards
    Patrick Freitas

    Hi Clifford P

    Thank you for the support access.

    I checked the Dev website but I couldn’t find any page returning this warning:

    PHP Notice: Constant HDOM_INFO_OUTER already defined in /wp-content/plugins/wpmu-dev-seo/includes/external/simple_html_dom.php on line 60

    I used the Query Monitor plugin to test it.

    Would be possible to send the FTP credentials for staging website and we can check if any plugin has those constant too?

    Note: Please don’t share any sensitive information (i.e credentials) in the Support Forum.

      Hi fred ,

      Hope this message finds you well, and thanks for reaching us.

      This happens because the library simple_html_dom (which is being used in SmartCrawl) is also being called by a third-party plugin at the same time.
      This is something that our SmartCrawl team is aware of, so they might try to replace that library in the future which would address these conflicts.

      If you require us to check your site, kindly open a new ticket.

      Let us know if you require additional assistance.
      Kind Regards

      Hi heidschnack ,

      Hope this message finds you well, and thanks for reaching us.

      As explained this is something that our SmartCrawl team is aware of, so they might try to replace that library in the future which would address these conflicts.

      If you are not using Query Monitor and these warnings are showing up on your Admin area, we strongly suggest turning off PHP display errors from your server, since it is not safe. You can also disable it by adding these lines of code on your wp-config.php file:

      define('WP_DEBUG',false);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', false);
ini_set('display_errors', 0);

      If you require us to check your site, kindly open a new ticket and we will check further.

      Let us know if you require additional assistance.
      Kind Regards
