Fatal Error

Do you have the file:

wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php

The function the error refers to resides in that file.

yes I have that file.

Is it the *correct* one for the upgrade you are going to? Open it in a text editor and look for

function make_db_current_silent() {

You’ll find it right at the end.

I don’t see that function in the file (I searched for it)

I’m still getting this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: make_db_current_silent() in
wp-includes/functions.php on line 348

I cut/paste all the text from wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php into notepad and searched for ‘silent’ and found nothing. How do I fix this?

It’s a function in the 1.5beta version of WP, so you’d need to extract that file from the download archive and upload it to your site. If you don’t have the download any longer, you’ll have to grab another copy:

Ok.

I was trying to go back to 1.21, if I upload the files from 1.21 will it solve my problem?

Go back to 1.21 from what?

If 1.22 (why?), you should only need to re-upload all the 1.21 files (being careful not to overwrite anything you’ve changed, like index.php, wp-layout.css, etc).

If it’s from the alpha or beta of 1.5, you may have more to do, since that update makes changes to the database, and there is no “downgrade” script.

The reason I wanted to go back is everytime I try to login to 1.5 it won’t let me. The url says:

/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fwp-admin%2F

Same here. All URIs in /wp-admin/ are redirected to

/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fwp-admin%2F

and it’s not possible to login.
