I get the following error and have no idea what to do about it when upgrading my site (beyondsurrendered.com)
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_admin() in /homepages/40/d205009528/htdocs/BeyondSurrendered/wp-includes/vars.php on line 16
I made a back up of wordpress files and my database. I'm on 1and1 fyi.
I'm quite the noob so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also - I had to manually upgrade because the autoupgrade never works...

Try reuploading new copies of the WP files and folders to upgrade again. Some must not have completely uploaded.
But don't copy over wp-content if you have a custom theme.

I re-uploaded...still getting the same errors. My database is MySQL5.0.
When I go to /wp-login.php I get the error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_admin() in /homepages/40/d205009528/htdocs/BeyondSurrendered/wp-includes/vars.php on line 16
When I go to /wp-admin/upgrade.php like it says in the installation instructions I get the same error.
It now says in mysqul databases that the one for my current site is not available.
Anyone have any idea?

For 1and1 you need to add this to the top of your .htaccess file with a plain text editor
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

Forgive my complete and utter ignorance - but is the .htaccess file in the wordpress files or in part of my web server?
Thanks for your help so far!

It seems it's on 1and1 through apache? Am I understanding this correctly? Forgive my ignorance - I'm building this site on my own since my webmaster abandoned me on my last site.

is that possible different view of dashboard between the chrome browser and mozilla firefox ? i don't understand why my post menu dashboard is unseen at the chrome browser and shown up at firefox.
@rebakahblam -- your .htaccess file is the same directory as your WordPress install.

@midjin: start a new thread with your problem.
@rebakahblam: How are you uploading the WordPress files? With FTP? Filezilla? You have to be absolutely sure you are uploading them in the right place:

I'm using filezilla. Is .htaccess in a sub folder of the install? I tried searching in the folder and didn't find it. I'll look again after this board meeting.

.htaccess is - or should be - at the same level of wp-config, wp-content, etc.
Do you know if you are on Windows or Linux hosting?
Oh, and if you haven't changed Permalinks from Default (see Settings -> Permalinks) you probably won't have an .htaccess file.

Chris, Good point.... Might have to create the file, but you can create a new file in FileZilla, just be sure there's a "dot" in front of the file name.
But if you're on Windows hosting, the existence of an .htaccess file depends on if 1and1 has .htaccess implemented for WIndows.

I have the basic package with linux hosting. I searched the wordpress installation file and did not find a .htaccess file. I guess I have to create it then? How can I go about doing this?
Thanks again for all of your help so far - I really appreciate it!

Also - I have changed permalinks already - thanks though Chris_K
Posted 2 years ago #
If you changed permalinks to anything other than default, you will have an .htaccess file. .htaccess is not in the WordPress install file or folder that you upload; it is in the root of your web directory, and created by WordPress. The dot in front of the name is important; be sure FileZilla is set to show normally invisible files.

I found the .htaccess file finally! Yay! Now - onto the real work. I opened it in Dreamweaver (it is a binary file ja?).
This is what it says:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPressWhere do I put AddType x-mapp-php5 .php - above the #begin or after?
-reba.
Right above
# BEGIN
or right after
# END
If you put it between them you'll just lose it next time you touch your permalinks...

Okay, I added it:
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPressBut I'm still getting the same error - do I have to delete the spaces or? I saved it as .htaccess and overwrote the other file - still an error?

If you want, contact me and I'll look at it.

I think I may just give up on 2.9.2. Everytime i try to upgrade somehing like this happens. I wonder if the auto upgrade is just not compatible with m browser? I use firefox.
Posted 2 years ago #
The auto upgrade has little to do with your browser and probably everything to do with 1and1 not playing well with WP....
Posted 2 years ago #
rebakahblam, contact your hosting support. Ask them politely to install WP for you. I'm sure they will.

Auto-upgrade mostly fails when your hosts has turned his servers "safe-mode on". In US lots of servers are "safe-mode off", in Europe almost all have "safe-mode on".

zeo - I don't need it installed I need it upgraded. I am going to try going through it again.
rainer23 - I'm in the US.
I'll try calling 1and1 but I doubt they'll be much help. I would switch hosts but they have been the cheapest one I have found and I wouldn't even know how to switch my other site with its database and such to a new host.
Here's to crossing our fingers! :)

I did it all over again - even re-downloaded wp and overwrote all files in case a theme was affecting it. Maybe I uploaded my .htaccess file to the wrong directory? Everywhere it says to the root of your wordpress file. Is that my sites file then? For instance...I have site>wordpress>wordpress folders and i uploaded the .htaccess to the site folder - is that not the root of my blog?

Everywhere it says to the root of your wordpress file.
Folder, not file.
Your .htaccess file goes the same directory as your WordPress install. So if you do have a folder called wordpress that's inside site, .htaccess goes in wordpress, not site.
Posted 2 years ago #
It still isn't working.
I contacted 1and1 but have not heard back yet.

Do a full database backup and then delete all files. Do a fresh install, and backup your database. This is a pretty much a last resort thing, but mostly i end up doing this when ever its messed up.
however, do wait for your hosting to reply back, and if they don't reply, i guess it should be time for you to look for a new host...
i hope you have the cpanel/fantastico option in the 1and1 hosting?
