    I'm pretty new to all this so maybe I'm making a blinding error but its one that keeps coming up regardless of the theme I'm using.

    Function file:

    <?php
    
    // Unhook default Thematic functions
    function unhook_thematic_functions() {
        remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_blogtitle',3);
    }
    add_action('init','unhook_thematic_functions');
    
    ?>

    Obviously, this is just a simple function to remove the blog title but everytime I enter the dashboard I get a fatal error message:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare _verify_activate_widget() (previously declared in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\chiron\functions.php:12) in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\thematic\functions.php on line 170

    Which is then followed by a message in my text editor (Textpad) that my child functions file has been updated by another program. When I cut and paste the text and save it again it works fine but only for one action (i.e. going to the themes menu on the dashboard), any actions after that I get the same problem.

    I have also recently updated Wordpress.

    I should add that things are absolutely fine outside the dashboard, I am able to edit the functions.php file and refresh without any errors, it is only when i go into the dashboard that I get the problem. Also there is no problem when the functions.php file does not exist

    Seems to be the very existence of the functions.php file because even when only the css files are called from it I get the very same error.

    have had to create a new theme from scratch so although not urgent I would appreciate any feedback any one had to offer on this issue.

    and start over with a blank child theme. then put your above code in your child's functions.php
