   Hi,

   Somehow, whit Easy Nivo Slider enabled on the main site of a WordPress Multi-Site network, the Network Admin section is blocked. The error log shows

   PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user()

   After some googling I found the solution on another thread on the WP forums. Apparently this happens when a plugin includes a file called settings.php. And indeed, renaming the file settings.php to easy-nivo-slider-settings.php and changing the include statement in the main plugin file accordingly, solved the issue.

   I'm not saying this is caused by Easy Nivo Slider. It seems to me more a bug in WordPress. For instance, renaming that file to options.php (and adjusting the include statement again) will result in the complete site admin back-end being inaccessible...

   But for the time being, simply renaming settings.php to anything except options.php will do the trick :)

   Thanks for the fix.

   Also another patch to add to wp is a require_once call to the top of capabilities.php : http://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-call-to-undefined-function-wp_get_current_user-4?replies=32

   Actually a better solution for the above fix is presented on the second page of that thread, putting the require_once in wp-config.php instead
