   Hi,

   I keep getting this error message when I attempt to change the password for the admin user...

   Catchable fatal error: Object of class __PHP_Incomplete_Class could not be converted to string in /home/youresse/public_html/ilovemywhisper/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 445

   Could you help?

   Thanks,
   Carol

   This will be a bit techie, but...

   here is an article on a very similar issue
   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/274521?replies=5

   The patch described there is not the one you need. The one you need apparently is this one
   http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/9640/wp-db.patch

   The file in question is wp-includes/wp-db.php
   If you want to attempt fixing this, make a backup copy of that file. Then change the lines of code that are highlighted at that link in green, in your installation. According to the articles that will correct the problem.

   I don't have personal experience with this error so can't vouch for it. That is why you are making a backup copy. If you don't have FTP and a text editor, you can gain access to that file in your hosting account's control panel file manager, which should contain an editor.

   The solution didn't work :( but I've decided to re-install Word Press and go from there.

   Thank you Steve for your effort!

   I have the same problem. The patch here doesn't work for me either.

   However, the patch to functions.php in the first link given above *does* work!
