    I tried to update a 3.0 wp site to 3.05, but it didn't finish the installation.

    Although the site is running normaly, I can no longer access the wp-admin.
    Here is what I get:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_network_admin() in /…/wp-admin/admin-header.php on line 16

    Any idea how to solve this?

    It sounds like some of the files were not updated. Try a manual update. That way you'll know that all the files have been properly installed.

    There are instructions here.

    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 access /wp-login.php to get this to kick in fully.

    - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    - re-running the upgrade manually.

    Just try logging into your site after you've renamed your current theme's folder.

    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.

    reseting plugins doesn't work either.

    I guess the only solution is now to manualy upgrade.

    Ok, all set now.

    Aparently a manual update is seriously not as complicated as it sounds, and I should have started straight ahead there.

    using ftp:
    1. make a backup of previous wp-content, wp-config and htaccess.
    2. replace all files with new wp version, everything besides 'wp-content, wp-config and htaccess'.
    3. desable actual plugins and themes folder.
    4. upload new plugins and themes folder.
    5. open in browser: …/wp-admin/upgrade.php and press continue.
    6. After that, just put back your existing theme and plugins, without replacing the defaults.
    7. Reactivate your theme, and normaly the plugins should be all good.
    8. That's all Folks!

    Thank you for the info. it went all smooth.
