    Hi,
    Last weekend our hoster did update the php version, so our page (modx 1.0.5) dd not work any more. He then put in the backups from last Friday and downgraded PHP to 5.3. Now the side works again all ok, but unfortunately the modx manager is not able to edit/create pages any more

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare mm_synch_fields() (previously declared in /home/httpd/vhosts/xxxxxxxxxxx.com/httpdocs/assets/plugins/managermanager/functions/fieldvalues.inc.php:284) in /home/httpd/vhosts/xxxxxxxxxxx.com/httpdocs/assets/plugins/managermanager/widgets/mm_synch_fields/mm_synch_fields.php on line 77

    Does anyone have an idea what needs to be fixed?
    Many thanks and regards

    UPDATE:
    Only pages cannot edit. Templates, Chunks, Snippets all no problem to edit...??!

    This question has been answered by AMDbuilder. See the first response.

      In short, you need to upgrade to 1.0.14.

      If you ignore the MASSIVE security risks with the older version, they simply don't support newer php versions. Keeping in mind PHP 5.3.x is now end of life and most hosts will start phasing it out if they haven't already, we loop back to you will need to update sooner than later.

        Hi and many thanks for the answer. I followed your suggestion and updated to 1.0.14. Now all works perfectly.

        BTW, during updating I found a strange piece of code at the end of .htaccess:
        <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
				RewriteEngine On
				RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (google|yahoo|slurp|bing|msnbot|yandex) [OR]
				RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} (zzzzzz)
				RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$ [OR]
				RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (html|htm|php|phps|shtml|xml|xhtml|phtml|asp|aspx)$ [NC]
				RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !sitemap_xml_xml.php
				RewriteCond /home/httpd/vhosts/oursite.com/httpdocs/sitemap_xml_xml.php -f
				RewriteRule ^.*$    /sitemap_xml_xml.php [L]
				</IfModule>


        Is this the MASSIVE security risks AMDbuilder did mention? Looks like someone hacked our site and blocked us from being listed at search engines.. or do I interpret this code wrong??
        I made a new Post for that question: https://forums.modx.com/thread/92998/was-our-site-hacked#dis-post-508061

        Thanks again and regards
