HELP! Error in Functions.php

    Hi there

    I just got a job to add a blog to a clients existing WordPress site and its all gone crazy. Her previous developer had not enabled sidebars so I went in and added the code to create the sidebar functionality and as soon as i tried to hit save I got a 500 internal error message. Since this point the clients site and the admin login have all been down.

    I managed to get ftp access and enable error logging and now when I visit the site I am given this error message:
    “
    Notice: Use of undefined constant TEMPLATE_URL – assumed ‘TEMPLATE_URL’ in /home/linweb01/s/saplingdesign.co.uk/user/htdocs/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_bloginfo() in /home/linweb01/s/saplingdesign.co.uk/user/htdocs/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2″

    The actual line of code it is referring too is this:
    “define(TEMPLATE_URL, get_bloginfo(‘template_url’) . ‘/’);”

    If anybody, anywhere can perhaps work with me to fix this today I would be so grateful as the client naturally thinks I have screwed her site up.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards
    Paul

    Using an FTP tool such as FileZilla or your host provided file manager, rename each theme and plugin folder to old-‘name’, making sure the default theme is present (do not rename)…try to login.

    Also verify wp-config.php or web.config if on IIS…

    can you confirm what you mean by this “Also verify wp-config.php or web.config if on IIS…”

    Also, I tried renaming plugins and moving all the themes out of the themes folder except for the twenty eleven theme and i still get the same error message.

    The site in question is http://www.samplingdesign.co.uk

    ps. I can provide the functions.php file if anybody is good with this sort of stuff.I’ve read all about spaces and numerous issues but dont know where to begin.

    As I say, I seem unable to even get the default template working

    I am unable to connect to site at this time….

    If it’s not your theme files and not your plugins, then what is left is core WP files (or a corrupt db).

    wp-config.php is a required file in the root and needs to configured properly. The link provided explains this well. IIS is a type of server environment (provided by many hosts and created by Microsoft).
