Title: WordPress Errors Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # WordPress Errors * [timothyrogers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timothyrogers/) * (@timothyrogers) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-errors/) * I have just installed WordPress onto my server and now I am got some errors. When I did the install, it got to Step 2 then showed the following error: * QUOTE Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home2/rogers/ public_html/wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line 546 * Line 546 is: * QUOTE if (! $wp_rewrite->using_mod_rewrite_permalinks()) * I could not go any further. Then I tried to visit the actual blog, and I got the following error: * QUOTE Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home2/rogers/ public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1059 * Line 1059 is as follows: * CODE return $wp_query->query($query); * So, how can I fix this?

Here are the error messages I have generated so far: * MANAGE: POSTS Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/ www/html/zapgarden.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1059 * VIEW SITE: * Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/html/zapgarden. com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1059 * OPTIONS: PERMALINKS Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in/ var/www/html/zapgarden.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php on line 37 * It doesn’t look like you can use the file upload feature at this time because the directory you have specified (/var/www/html/zapgarden.com/wp-content) doesn’t appear to be writable by WordPress. Check the permissions on the directory and for typos. * Any ideas on how to correct this? * [crankyfranky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crankyfranky/) * (@crankyfranky) * [20 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-errors/#post-216293) * I’m not sure about all of your errors but I had this error after uploading a new theme, but I was able to fix it quickly; * Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/xxx/public_html/ blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1377 * I wonder if my solution may be relevant. I’m not a php coder. * I checked the permissions on the new theme dir and they were wrong. When I tried to correct [chmod] via FTP i was blocked, so next step was to chown and chgrp. * This was the solution that removed the error; * root@srv5 [/home/xxxxx/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes]# ls -al total 20 drwxr-xr-x 5 xxxxx xxxxx 4096 Jun 13 00:55 ./ drwxr-xr-x 4 xxxxx xxxxx 4096 Apr 5 20:21 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 1000 80 4096 Jan 9 09:27 black/ drwxr-xr-x 2 xxxxx xxxxx 4096 Apr 5 20:21 classic/ drwxr-xr-x 3 xxxxx xxxxx 4096 Apr 5 20:21 default/ root@srv5 [/home/xxxxx/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes]# chown -R xxxxx black root@srv5 [/home/xxxxx/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes]# chgrp -R xxxxx black root@srv5 [/home/xxxxx/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes]# ls -al total 20 drwxr- xr-x 5 xxxxx xxxxx 4096 Jun 13 00:55 ./ drwxr-xr-x 4 xxxxx xxxxx 4096 Apr 5 20: 21 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 xxxxx xxxxx 4096 Jan 9 09:27 black/ drwxr-xr-x 2 xxxxx xxxxx 4096 Apr 5 20:21 classic/ drwxr-xr-x 3 xxxxx xxxxx 4096 Apr 5 20:21 default/ * [My real user name is replaced by the xxxxx] * Worth a look maybe.. 🙂 * Cheers. * [pm44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pm44/) * (@pm44) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-errors/#post-216460) * im still getting a message when i log in, i cannot change my wp url in options, I new to wp so i dont know much Viewing 3 replies - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The topic ‘WordPress Errors’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [1and1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/1and1/) * [enable sending referrers](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/enable-sending-referrers/) * [installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/installation/) * In: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) * 3 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [pm44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pm44/) * Last activity: [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-errors/#post-216460) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
