   I'm doing multiple installs and was messing with some files. While doing this, something went haywire and I can't access my Admin panel. I first discovered some white space after the closing php tag in my config file. This helped me bring up the Admin login screen, but now when I attempt to log in, I get the below error message:

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function set_screen_options() in /home/forthemo/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/admin.php on line 45

   Line 45 says:

   set_screen_options();

   Not sure what to do here - any suggestions? Could this be a plugin problem? Should I disable all plugins and try to login again?

   I should also note that I have had this particular theme running for a long time. The problem started when I viewed the install.php file in a browser. I was having trouble with another blog, and wanted to see if it was working. I think this set off a chain of problems, and is the result of the above issue.

   Thanks!

   Don't mess with the core files. Put them all back to the standard set of files from a standard WordPress installation.

   The set_screen_options function is in wp-admin\includes\misc.php. So make sure that's there. Make sure *all* the WordPress files are there, and unchanged.

   I didn't touch the misc.php or admin.php. All I did was view the install.php in a browser.

   Would you recommend grabbing a fresh copy of the misc.php and overwriting my current uploaded version?

   Problem solved...

   I simply uploaded a fresh copy of my admin folder.
