 * Hello everyone!
 * I know this is a common topic but still all queries regard a different .php file
   with the same error. I have a problem with the following:
 * **Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in /home/realizir/
   public_html/bluebirds.bg/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22**
 * Every time I try to go to my network admin from my site dashboard I get this 
   message. I can’t edit any of my plugins, theme, updates, etc.
 * When I opened the setting.php file here is what it says:
 * **get_current_screen()->add_help_tab( array(
    ‘id’ => ‘overview’, ‘title’ => 
   __(‘Overview’), ‘content’ =>
 * Can you tell me what should I do, do i need to change the code ot something else?
   I am kind of comprehensive with worpress.
 * Thank you in advance,
    Mihaela

 * Hello,
 * Could you please let us know whether your using any sort of e-commerce plugin?
   because the concerned error arrive mostly in that part.
    If your using that one,
   then de-activate the same plugin & do the changes given below :
 * get_current_screen()-> add_help_tab( array
    ( ‘id’ => ‘overview’, ‘title’ => 
   __(‘Overview’), ‘content’ => Save the same file & check.

 * Hello!
 * I didn’t use this particular plug-in. I changed the theme of the website and 
   after I deactivated a Cooming Soon Plug-in that I used before. That’s when this
   error happened.

 * Okay, try to insert this small piece of code above the error line.
 * `require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/screen.php’);’

 * Try to check whether the file screen.php exist or not on the path wp-admin/includes/
 * It would be also an alternative for it.
    It would be great, if you can create
   wp-user for me. I’ll fix it up.

 * **_DO NOT GIVE TOTAL STRANGERS ACCESS TO YOUR WEBSITE!_**
 * Absolutely no offence meant to Sagar, but NEVER EVER EVER SHOULD YOU ASK SOMEONE
   HERE FOR LOGIN CREDENTIALS TO YOUR SITE!
 * 1) YOU are a stranger to them
 * 2) THEY are a stranger to you
 * 3) THIS IS HOW YOU GET HACKED.
 * Look, I want to say you can trust everyone here, but you can’t.
 * The issue is actually simple. You have a plugin or a theme causing it.
 * Disable ALL plugins. All. Every last one. Heck, rename the plugin folder to plugins-
   off. See if that first.
 * And please, DO NOT ASK FOR NOR GIVE SOMEONE ACCESS TO YOUR SITE. Period.
 * I would be changing all passwords right now, frankly.
