   I tried to upgrade one of my blogs to 3.1 from 3.0.? (not sure of the specific number). Now all I get is this:

   Fatal error: Cannot redeclare require_wp_db() (previously declared in /home/stephensmith/libre.ereaderjournal.com/wp-includes/load.php:323) in /home/stephensmith/libre.ereaderjournal.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3090

   I searched the forum and found this post, which may be related: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-31-pg4wp-cannot-redeclare-class-wpdb?replies=1

   However, I do not understand the answer. What does it mean to re-implement the WP 3.1 require_wp_db() function?

   Does this mean there's a specific file that I need to download and rewrite (like in Notepad)? And does this indeed apply to the error I am getting?

   Thanks for any help.

   Your upgrade did not complete successfully.

   Try:
   - switching to the Twenty Ten theme by renaming your current theme's folder in wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides. You may need to try logging into your site to get this to kick in fully.

   - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

   - re-running the upgrade manually.

   Thanks esmi.

   I assume that you meant that if I renamed my current theme's folder to something else (anything else), that WP would default to Twenty Ten as the theme. Otherwise I am not sure how to make Twenty Ten my theme, since I cannot log in to wp-admin. So ... I did rename my current theme's folder. (The theme was Enterprise, so I named the folder enterprisebak.)

   I also followed the instructions for resetting my plugins folder, up to the point where it said to log in to my wp-admin (which I cannot do).

   These did not solve my problem, so now I will try the manual upgrade. I assume this means finding the WP 3.1 distribution file and using FTP to deploy it in my WP directory. Will my database with all my old content be protected if I do this?

   Thanks again.

   I am having the same problem...however, I do not know how to do the manual upgrade & would like to know if my original content will be lost.

   HELP! During an upgrade...something drastically went wrong! I cannot login to my wordpress page & I keep getting errors as I try to tweak things to make the code work. I am more than willing to completely start over, without losing all of my "stuff" on my site. Can someone help me? I have tried to upgrade manually - but the only way I can do this is if I upload one file at a time. I use netfirms as my host. I have tried using FileZilla...but I do not know my "host name" to login. I am so beyond upset! I have spent a whole day working on this. WASTED a whole day working on this. http://www.whami.org

   Thanks in advance.
