error activating plugin

  • I have upgraded to WP2.01 and when i try to activate or deactivate plugin, I get this:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: check_admin_referer() in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mt\vowelsystem\wp-admin\plugins.php on line 5

    Can someone tell me how to fix it? Thanks.

  • gaebe: so all your plugins are deactivated right now? Or some are activated now?

    vkaryl, I deactivated every single plugin and tried one at a time and I still get the errors. ??

    Yes all my plugins are deactivated now.

    And you can’t activate even one of the “default” included ones without an error?

    None of them… =(

    gaebe: I think you might at this point download a fresh distro, uncompress, and reupload the files in case something got corrupted in the upload.

    I don’t have any other bright ideas, sorry….

    I am getting the same error with 2.01:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: check_admin_referer() … on line 5

    Have tried deleting wp-admin and uploading it, doesn’t work. CAnnot activate any plugins. I am using only the ones that came with WordPress.

    Does anyone know where’s the problem?

    I am getting this same problem now too. I upgraded from WP 2.0 to WP 2.0.1 and was able to activate all of my plugins after that, but today I tried deactivating one of them and received the following error message:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: check_admin_referer() in /home/dream/public_html/www137/wp-admin/plugins.php on line 5

    Now I cannot activate or deactivate any of my plugins, not even “Hello Dolly”.

    I looked on https://trac.www.ads-software.com and didn’t see any mention of this problem either. Does anyone have any idea why the script wouldn’t be able to locate the definition of the “check_admin_referer()” function? I looked at the source code for “plugins.php” and it is including “admin.php” and “admin.php” includes “wp-admin/admin-functions.php” which includes the “check_admin_referer()” function as far as I can tell.

    This is very weird, since I was able to activate all my plugins the other day, but now they magically won’t activate or deactivate. ??

    Well, I just downloaded WP 2.0.1 again and re-uploaded all the file and I am now able to activate and deactivate my plugins again. That was weird and I have no clue why I would’ve been able to activate my plugins the other night and then all of a sudden it stopped working today. Oh well, it is working again now so I am happy.
