 * I am getting this error message when I click on the “Update” link in admin.
 * > Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_version_check() in /home/pjsart/
   > public_html/wp-admin/update-core.php on line 412
 * How do I fix this? I tried restoring using iDrive and it didn’t help.
 * Oh. One more thing. I recently moved the site from one host to another, but I
   have updated it since the move.
 * Thanks in advance.
    Scott

 * Try – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress 3.1.2.

 * Thank you esmi! That worked perfectly. Luckily I had this version on my machine.
   For future reference where can I get any older version of wordpress? Do they 
   keep them somewhere? I did try to find older versions by searching.
 * Thanks again!
