Upgrade to 2.1.3 gives wp() error

    I have just updated a WP from 2.1.1 (I think) to 2.1.3 (I know)… from the sites CPANEL with a double click upgrade.

    now if I go to https://www.rosslangdon.com I get an error line stating

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp() in /home/drewh/public_html/ross/wp-blog-header.php on line 14

    As I haven’t ever done anything outside of the themes folder I am a bit at a loss as to what to do about this… could it be because this is a subdomain in another account and therefore inside the folder “ross”???

    I have the cut and paste advice at the end of the upgrade on how to restore the old version but to be honest I’m not sure I am confident to do that – it is not my blog.

    Is this an anomoly or is there an issue on the upgrade side that is happening to a number of people?

    Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • If WP is in the root, why is it looking for it in the folder “ross”?

    If WP is in a subfolder you would acces it here:
    https://www.rosslangdon.com/ross
    The only thing there is a couple of flash files.

    If in a subdomain, it would be
    https://ross.rosslangdon.com

    So where are the WP files really?

    ahh sorry its been a while since i looked at this… its in

    https://www.drewheath.com/ross

    which a subdomain of ross

    ross.drewheath.com

    The subdomain (which is in the folder ross) has its own domain name of https://www.rosslangdon.com

    So the files are inside a folder called ‘ross’ – and that is how it worked fine before the upgrade. It obviously finds the files such as wp-blog-header.php correctly but doesnt’ recognise the function wp() anymore.

    The wp-blog-header.php page has not changed from the older versions…

    thanks for the reply. Any advice?

    sorry
    to explain…

    the flash files are actually in a folder inside ‘ross’ dumbfoundedly also named ‘ross’

    root
    – ross
    — wpfiles here
    — ross
    ——- flash files

    I just noticed something in Fantasico inside CPANEL where I did the double click upgrade…

    it says…
    *********

    UPDATE NOW!
    Following installations are not up-to-date. Keep your installations secure and up-to-date and ensure that future versions of Fantastico will be able to maintain your installations by updating now.

    WordPress
    Location Installed Version Upgrade Link
    rosslangdon.com/ Only manual upgrade possible
    **********

    It doesn’t show an installed version and says only a manual upgrade is possible. This mean? Did it not work fully?

    Fantastico bites.
