• Hello I have been given the task of working on our website that hadn’t been updated in a long time. When I clicked the update button on the Dashboard I was given this error message :

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /home/blcinc/blcinc.org/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 1281

    I am now unable to access the Dashboard. I am new to this and would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks in advance!

  • Probably a plugin issue. You might try renaming your plugins directory/folder, which will deactivate all your plugins. If that works, you can create a new plugins folder and add the plugins back one at a time until it breaks (or it might be easier to to the reverse…just change the name of each individual plugin folder one at a time until the site starts working). The advantage of the first method is you find out right away if it’s actually a plugin (you just don’t know which one) that is causing it. It could also be a theme.
