# dashboard widget error

 * Just started using CollabPress so I’m not that familiar with it. The dashboard
   recent activity widget says “Fatal error: Call to undefined function cp_recent_activity()
   in /home/thelafay/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/collabpress/includes/cp-core.
   php on line 59” and I’m not sure how to fix it. This error seems to be making
   it so that other widgets on my dashboard aren’t showing up (specifically quickpress)
   and I can’t get ‘screen options’ to drop down. Is there a fix on github for this
   already? I searched but couldn’t find it, although it’s possible that I just 
   missed it. If not, then how do I fix it? Thanks for the help!

 * Hey adrirena,
 * please don’t use the CollabPress widgets, we’re moving away from their usage.
   Sorry they’re still in there, they should be removed from the plugin. Will make
   sure to get rid of them in 1.4.

 * If I remove the code for it in the cp-core.php file, will that get rid of it 
   and resolve the issue? I don’t want to mess with the code if it will just screw
   things up more.

 * Weird, I’m running master from GitHub and the Dashboard widget displays fine 
   actually. If you comment out the line `add_action( 'wp_dashboard_setup', 'cp_wp_add_dashboard_widgets');`
   in cp-core.php you should be good.
