WP 2.7 Fatal Error Please Help

Disregard.. I had to re-upload the root files (wp-config and the others). Now it’s working again.

If you’re getting a “Call to undefined function” message, then you did not upload all the files. Really. We’re not just guessing here. ??

For example wp_remote_post *is actually defined*. It’s in the wp-includes/http.php file.

So saying you downloaded and uploaded again and it didn’t work is not helpful. Clearly, whatever you did wrong the first time you also did wrong the second time. Do it differently, somehow. The fact of the matter is that you’re missing files, so until you actually fix that, it’s just plain going to stay broken.

Additional: Yes, when we say “all the files” we really do mean “ALL THE FILES”. Including those in the root folder. Just uploading the admin and includes directories is not enough. UPLOAD EVERYTHING. The entirety of WordPress. As in “all the files”.

Ok.

But, perhaps not wp-content.

Unless you’re using the default or classic theme and have customized it, then yes, wp-content too.

UPLOAD EVERYTHING. Just don’t delete anything that you want to keep, like your added on themes and plugins and such.

While we don’t recommend it around here because so many people screw it up for some reason, you can in fact simply upload the whole of WordPress overwriting your existing installation and it’ll work fine. If you can actually make your FTP client overwrite files, that is. A lot of people screw that up for some reason. But I do just that when I upgraded in the past. It works perfectly.

I have solved the issue, thanks Otto42.
First disable all of plugins, then upload V2.7 codes, after succeed upgrade, enable plugins, some incompitalbe.

I don’t like three column style.

Anybody want detail steps pls refer

Hmm..I’m using Transmit and it usually does a great job. I’ll try a different FTP client.

Ya…I’ve tried several different FTP clients and they show no errors. I don’t know what’s wrong.

OK guys!

I got the answer

Just upload everything, I mean all the files of the new wordpress and you’re all set

THIS IS THE SOLUTION FOR YOUR GUYS!!!!
To fix the problem, you simply need to deactivate the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin.

THAT`S IT !!!

Hello, I also have this problem of a “blank” site, even though the admin site/dashboard works. It is also caused by the:
`Call to undefined function: wp_remote_request()
in my error_log. However, none of the suggestions works:
1. I copied everything native on the server from a tar.gz, so no FTP involved
2. I disabled all my plugins, and even switched back to the (new version of) default theme, but it still doesn’t work.
3. I don’t see any “Automatic Upgrade” plugin, so not sure what MONKMASTER is referring to.

So, sadly, downgrading to WP 2.6.5 from my backup until this issue has been further debugged.

Randall,

I might have to downgrade too, as I’ve spent too much time, should have been flawless. I have no idea why this doesn’t work.

#@#@#@@@#… the same error here…
after wanting to enter the dashboard (yx.com/wp-admin):

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_user_settings() in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxxx.com/wp-admin/admin-header.php on line 14

I can’t even enter the dashboard, so how can I disable plugins?!
And I don’t have the “WordPress Automatic Upgrade” plugin.

Upgraded to WP 2.7 almost 40 blogs yesterday via cpanel (crazy me), I have this error on one blog now, and really hope it will be resolved before it “attacks” my other blogs.

Help appreciated ??

1. disable all plugins, especially auto-upgrade and old ozh menu, maybe others. so the best way is disalbe all.
2. using default themes (not sure, but to be safe, a simple way)
3. upload all code files of V2.7, using overwrite, or after moving your old version code files to other directory, something like “/backup-v26x/”
4. http: //xxxxxx.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php
to upgrade your V2.6.x to V2.7
5. OK

some plugin is abnormal under v2.7, so the best way is just using old database, not codes. remember to backup it first!

Hey guys, I found this thread after resolving my issue and thought I would contribute. I had the same issue with syntax errors / functions not being defined due to missing (or corrupted) files after FTPing new files to my server. In the above discussion Otto42 is spot on. I resolved the issue in the following way (do backup first):

1. Deactivated all plugins by renaming their folders in my wp-content/plugins/ directory. (ie Akismet -> _Akismet)
2. Deleted all of the wordpress core files from my server with the exception of the wp-content directory. (ie wp-admin, wp-includes, index.php, ect)
3. Downloaded WP 2.7, unzipped it, deleted the wp-content directory, and then rezipped it.
4. Uploaded the new zip file to my server and decompressed it server side.
5. Ran upgrade.php… all was well.

Hope this helps.

Aha – I finally got it to work (none of the above suggestions solved my problem however). Here’s what I did:
1. got to the Site Admin (even though the normal blog-site was empty, the admin area worked fine
2. on the Left Toolbar, press “Tools”/”Upgrade”
3. There are two buttons:
i) “Reinstall Automatically” and
ii) “Download 2.7”
Pressing the first (“Reinstall”) made everything work
