 * Hi I was upgrading WordPress, logged in to my dashboard, when the update was 
   loading, this error came up:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_taxonomies_for_attachments() in \\
   boswinfs04\home\users\web\b2976\apo.grupoumano\marisolbarroso\wp-admin\menu.php
   on line 67
 * I’ve tried erasing line 67, but then something else comes up as fatal error, 
   I was able to get into the dashboard but all posts came up as warning…error.
   
   Webpage seems ok… marisolbarroso.com Please help!

 * Fatal error in the output generally indicates either:
    (1) your theme doesn’t
   like your version of WordPress (2) you have a plugin that doesn’t like your version
   of WordPress (3) or you have an incomplete install/upgrade.

 * Hi thanks! how do I complete the upgrade if I can’t access the dashboard??? I
   never got the mesaage saying updagrade complete, so it could be that. I have 
   no plug-ins. How do i know the theme does or doesn’t like the WP version???

 * – To rule out any theme-specific issue, try switching to the unedited default
   twenty twelve theme for a moment using the WP dashboard. If you don’t have access
   to your admin area, you can switch to the default theme by renaming your current
   theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder
   name using via [FTP or SFTP ](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)or whatever
   file management application your host provides.

 * try manually re-uploading all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file
   and the /wp-content/ directory from a fresh download of WordPress. This should
   replace your core files without changing your content and settings in wp-config.
   php file and the /wp-content/ directory. Read the [Manual Update ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
   directions first!
