 * Try:
    – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder
   inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using
   [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever file management application
   your host provides.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder and the
   wp-config.php & root .htaccess files – from a **fresh** download of WordPress.
   Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the
   new ones.
 * – running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php

 * Oh – and `Call to undefined function` is a technical programming term. It does
   not refer to phoning anyone.

 * i went to back up support it says…
    ‘Back up your database regularly,and always
   before an upgrade.’ i think i didn’t back up before i clicked the upgrade button…
   have I lost everything? :((((

 * Hopefully not. Right now, you simply seem to have an incomplete upgrade.

 * Please carry out the steps I suggested above. We do not have access to your site,
   so there is nothing we can do from our end. The work has to be carried out on
   your site. If you cannot manage this yourself, you may want to consider [hiring someone](http://jobs.wordpress.net/).
