If you've tried upgrading a recent version of WordPress and received this error...
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare pclziputilpathreduction()
...here's what you do.
In a nutshell, deactivate the plugin "WordPress Automatic Upgrade", then try again and WordPress should upgrade without a hitch.
Here's the explanatory video I posted on YouTube about this error, and how to fix it.
About Fatal error: Cannot redeclare pclziputilpathreduction()
The reason you get this is because your activated plugin, WordPress Automatic Upgrade, is creating problems with WordPress' new in-built automatic upgrade function. But because of this new WordPress feature, you don't need this plugin anymore, anyway. It was a great, highly useful plugin. But it is now negated, so lose it. And then, no more error. Upgrade away.
Did this fix work? Or not? Hmmn! Lemme know below...
