# Cannot redeclare tinymce_include()

 * Today I updated my WP install to the newest Alpha version. After the new version
   installed whenever I try to login to my admin dashboard it gives me the above
   message.From what I learned from some websites is that something is being included
   more than once in a file, and it is giving this error. Does this problem have
   to do with my plugins or the new version of WordPress, and is there any way to
   fix it? Here’s the full message. Sorry if this is in the wrong section, and for
   bothering you guys.

 * I’d guess it’s a plugin conflict. What ones are you running?

 * FWIW, this happened to me as well. Upgrading WP from r12817 to r13811 *and* upgrading
   the reCaptcha plugin too.
 * Well, by “upgrading” the latter I just _renamed_ the old version to something
   else, not realizing that WP will still try to make a plugin from everything under
   wp-content/plugins – and now some functions were obiously doubled.
 * Strange error message though, neither the old nor the current reCaptcha version
   does anything with tinymce, dunno how this error came to be exactly.
 * HTH,
    C.

 * I had this problem too and was unable to find a solution anywhere. But I did 
   in the end discover the solution so came here in case my solution might help 
   anyone else. I updated to the latest version of WP by going to my host and then“
   Fantastico’. After upgrading there I got a message to do various things one of
   which was:
 * – delete all the files listed in /home/mydomain/public_html/fantastico_fileslist.
   txt
 * I deleted it using file manager.
    This has got rid of the problem. Might not 
   for you but I hope so!

 * tinymce_include() hasn’t existed in wp-includes/deprecated.php since WP 2.9. 
   It was moved to wp-admin/includes/deprecated.php in 3.0 development.
 * Sounds like your installation is incompletely updated.
