   Hi,

   I went to update wordpress today on a clients website before doing some SEO work for them and now when ever I go to login to the dashboard I get the following error.

   Fatal error: Cannot redeclare get_temp_dir() (previously declared in /var/www/vhosts/aird-cottage-skye.co.uk/httpdocs/wp-includes/functions.php:2160) in /var/www/vhosts/aird-cottage-skye.co.uk/httpdocs/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 189

   The website itself is running fine but I just can not access wordpress.

   I really need this fixing asap as they have paid for their SEO and I need to login today to complete.

   Any help would be much appreciated.

   Many Thanks

   I had the same problem on one of my sites and found this post http://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-from-wp-314-to-wp-32-admin-error-cannot-redeclare-get_temp_dir.

   Basically after trying a few other things I overwrote the wp-includes files with the version I was trying to upgrade to. It eventually worked but I still had to 'update' WordPress afterwards. Hope that helps.
