    You have another plugin/theme adding the WP_Importer class. Did you install any recent plugin/theme that broke the website?

    go in the wp-content/plugins folder and change/delete the folder of the plugin you installed. It will work again after that. You should also open a ticket with the plugin developer and describe the problem.

If you did install a plugin that broke the website go in the wp-content/plugins folder and change/delete the folder of the plugin you installed. It will work again after that.

You should also open a ticket with the plugin developer and describe the problem.
