Deactivate a plugin when the same functions are present in the theme

[Ayanize]

Hi,

I am adding some plugins functions in our themes. Now, when the theme is activated in a site where the plugin is already activated, fatal errors occur due to the declaration of the same functions – both in the theme as well in the plugin. Now I wish to deactivate the plugin when the theme is activated because the theme itself has those functions in it. I tried with this

function deactivate_dfe() {
if( is_plugin_active('divi-footer-editor/divi-footer-editor.php') ){

    deactivate_plugins('divi-footer-editor/divi-footer-editor.php');    
    }
}

add_action( 'admin_init', 'deactivate_dfe' );

But that does not deactivate the plugin Divi Footer Editor and hence I get the fatal errors. Any suggestion

PS: I am the author of both the plugin and the theme

( @Alen I think you can surely help me here as well. Thanks)

Thanks

Kalyan
