Hi @balabanov @johnh10 Can you reproduce this with the latest version?

[balabanov]

Just confirmed in 1.1.1 version, same behavior

[johnh10]

Yes a fatal error with v1.1.1, though stack trace is slightly different.

This happens when you download the plugin from the .org as well? https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-sniffer/

I'll try to see if this is due to a theme or something else, it's odd that this is happening.
