Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_network_admin() in /home/ascimage/public_html/wp-admin/admin-header.php on line 16
Hi Folks
I tried to update to the latest version, I do not think it was successful and I now get the message above. I can access through cpanel and can see the line 16. But what do I do to fix the problem?

Hi Colin,
What version were you upgrading from?
The is_network_admin() function was added in WP v3.1.0, so if you look on your server in the wp-includes/load.php file, you should see around line #614 the definition of this function. If it's not there, you can probably fix your WP installation by following the instructions here for a manual upgrade: http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress#Manual_Update
It seems possible that for some reason, during your upgrade the load.php file is not getting updated with the new file, so you may want to take a backup and then attempt a manual upgrade.
Hope this helps!

Hi
I cannot see anything in load.php, only seems to go to a line 585.
I am doing a backup at the moment, but if I do a manual upgrade will I lose all the settings that I have amended over the past year?

Hi Colin, have you edited any of WordPress' core files? If not then your manual upgrade should go quite smoothly.
After you back up your database AND files, the manual upgrade is pretty simple and should not affect any of your wordpress settings unless you have made edits to wordpress core files.
The manual upgrade basically boils down to these steps:
1. backup db AND files
2. De-activate all plugins (I have a lot of plugins on some sites, not all of which are active all the time, so common sense, write down the ones that are active)
3. Delete the wp-admin and wp-include folders on your server. DO NOT DELETE YOUR WP-CONTENT FOLDER.
4. Delete all files wp-*.php files in the top level of your wordpress folder EXCEPT wp-config.php.
5. Upload all wordpress 3.1.2 files to your server except wp-config-sample.php
6. After upload is completed visit the following url:
http://YOURWPSITE.COM/wp-admin/upgrade.php
and follow the steps there.
And you should be all good to go. I hope! :-)

Hi Greg
This may sound daft, and probably is, but I cannot remember what I changed. I spent a lot of time when I first set it up finding out what I needed to do. Not touched the tech side since.

Colin,
Yikes, bud. That is a problem. :-(
If you're sure you edited WP Core files, you most likely were editing in the wp-includes folder. You could login via ftp and look at the timestamps on the files to see if anything jumps out at you.
If you're pretty sure the files you had to customize were in your theme and or plugins though, those will be in the wp-content folder, which you won't be deleting during the update process. Those files will remain untouched by the upgrade process.
Hope you figure it out!
