I suddenly got this message when using the plugins screen. I have no idea what to do or what it means so I hope that you can help.
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_rtl() in /home/magnetic/public_html/audios/wp-includes/general-template.php on line 2102"

Hi Liz,
Something seems to be wrong with one of the plugins you are using. To find out which plugin is causing such problem, start by disabling the plugin one by one until you no longer see that error. You can enable them later. Once you find the culprit, check it out with the plugin developer.

I can't get back into admin because of this message. I can delete the plugins in the file manager and then reinstall one by one. Would that work?

Just want to add that I found out how to do this without access to the admin area. So in case this helps someone else.
I do not know which plugin caused the trouble.
I went to my FTP files and renamed the plugins directory by adding an x to its name.
That cleared the error message and let me back into admin. Once there I deleted all the plugins as they were already deactivated. Now i just have to add them again one at a time.Tomorrow!

Correct that's the way to go. You will notice which plugin it is since when you start adding them 1 by 1, when you add the one which is causing such problem you will have problems accessing the admin portal.

Oh dear. Now my plugins will not install at all. I can't even install Akismet-just get a message that it failed to install. I have no idea why this shld be happening. Do you have any ideas?

HI Liz,
What error messages are you getting when trying to install plugins? A screenshot would help.

This is what happens
Downloading install package from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akismet.2.5.6.zip…
Unpacking the package…
Installing the plugin…
Could not create directory. /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/akismet/
Plugin install failed.
I am a bit mystified!

Hi Liz,
It is a permissions problem.
Check the permissions of the plugins directory (/wp-content/plugins/). It is a permissions problem. The plugin directory should have 755 permissions.
Check the following for more information about file and directory permissions: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions
