When I import the contents I choose to import the users too (please dont suggest that I re-create the users manually), and NONE of the users in the 3 original blogs have a “admin” or “administrator” as a username / login name.
Also, so is there nothing else I can try to fix the problem after it occurred rather than reversing everything ?
I have just imported the wp_users and wp_usermeta tables from a previous backup, but that did not fix anything. What elsa can I try to import that may fix it without having to uninstall the whole network and start again?? am desperate, and I am now more sure that it is a WP rather than server issue.
Is it not possible to call for one of WP developers to look into it ?After several tests and failures, I am not almost certain it is a problem with the admins being imported. The problem always occurred after importing the contents (full xml file) of one of the 3 old blogs. Also, while I was missing with the users after the import, I ran into the same problem again.
I am not sure what exactly triggers it, but it is certainly a conflict between users that are imported when I import the contents of the old blog, and the super admin.I hope this would help to further isolate the reason.
EDIT:
Okay I went to wp_usermeta in the DB and here is all the data of the super admin.. please tell me if you see something wrong

In reply to: Import Users from multiple databasesSalam Salman 🙂
I am trying to accomplish the same things. 3 blogs I merged into one network. two of them have multiple users. the users were imported fine, but in one of them, posts do not have their real authors as their authors, but rather, strangely, have authors from the the other blog as their authors.. again, although the users of the original blog are imported, and appear in the users list.
I found it, the users were imported but not as “contributers” as in the original blog but as “subscribers”. so I had to convert them to contributers and assign their posts to them. This was exhausting and it should have been done automatically.Thanx Ipstenu. Last install I did without SimpliScripts, as you advised me. But the problem still occurred although it was a completely clean install.
I have another network on a different hosting account in the same company (Hostmonster) and I did not have the issue. But there it’s sub directories not subdomains.I am keen to know the reason. It would be a disaster if it appeared after I deleted the original sites. But I am really not sure how !
Well I have tried everything as you saw!
Anyway, in the fourth time, this is what I have done:
I kept taking backups of the whole network DB via PHPMYADMIN, after every successful step.
I think I can say that the problem was occurring after I completed importing the contents (xml)files of one of the old blogs that I want to combine.
Now when the problem occured, I imported the last DB I created with PHPMYADMIN before the 500 error appeared. After importing it, the Network dashboard loads fine, and to my surprise, the contents of the child blog I was importing into one of the new subsites in the network, were imported fine. I still do not understand how that heppened.So after I have done other things, I got the error again. and this time I imported from a more recent backup, one that I took later, only seconds before the error appeared.
I did that twice. Now my network seems to have settled down, and I am performing normal tasks with no issue, and the error did not appear again.
But I am very worreid that later, after I complete everything and delete the old original sites, the prblem comes again, and then I wont have the old sites to import the content from if anything goes wrong. How can I assure myself ?Thanx
I have already made clean installation of WP 3 times so far, with the same result !!
After I was frustrated the first time (which was the cause of this post) I removed WP totally and all files and started a new installation.
I configred the network, then imported the contents of the old 3 blogs that I want to combine into this network. Then copied their themes and until that point everything worked fine.
All of a sudden, with out any evident specific thing that might have caused it, I got the 500 error again !!This happened 3 times and it is very very frustrating !
Before the error happened the last time, I made a backup of the DB using WP DB Manager. Then I looked at it, and found that it is only a backup of the main site, not the whole network.
So what can I do ???? What exactly happens there?
I looked into the /network/error_log and this is what I found:
[27-Feb-2012 23:19:43] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in public_html/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22 [27-Feb-2012 23:19:52] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in public_html/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22 [27-Feb-2012 23:21:06] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in public_html/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22 [27-Feb-2012 23:21:36] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in public_html/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22 [27-Feb-2012 23:21:38] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in public_html/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22 [27-Feb-2012 23:21:49] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in public_html/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22 [27-Feb-2012 23:23:57] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in public_html/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22 [27-Feb-2012 23:44:56] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in public_html/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22 [28-Feb-2012 12:17:45] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in public_html/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22 [28-Feb-2012 14:11:02] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in public_html/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22 [28-Feb-2012 14:12:12] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in public_html/wp-admin/network/settings.php on line 22Line 22 in settings.php is:

What else can be done ?
Hi again. This is what Hostmonster support replied with:
I have setup the php settings on the account to default. I have also tried raising the limits substantially, from my investigations this does not seem to be the source of the issues you are having. Most likely this was caused by an upgrade or significant change you made to the wordpress multisite. When I try to replicate the issue I am not receiving a 500 error, or seeing a 500 error in the logs. It seems as though the script itself is broken but not producing errors. I recommend that you replace your wordpress multisite files inside your account with a new copy of wordpress multisite files, this should repair any incomplete or broken php files you currently have. If necessary I recommend using the wordpress support forums for further assistance (http://www.wordpress.org/support). Please let us know if you have further questions or need clarification on anything.
So should I replace the files indeed? which files exactly?
Did not help 🙁
well I can say there is no such thing.
There is a subfolder that contains the blogs that are still on the old subdomains (that I am combining into the network), but those are different in their names than the new subsites that I created in the network.Yes I know that, and I did it first, and just made a change then saved again to make sure it went into effect 🙂
In public_html there is only one htaccess file. is it a problem if other htaccess files were found in sub folders ?? will they be effective even if there is on hataccess in the public_html folder ?
BTW, I have been using Chrome to log into
http://SITE/wp-admin/network/index.phpI went to IE 9 and pates the same link. At first I got “you dont have sufficient permissions” .. then refreshing, I got the 500 internal server error.
As always I still can access
http://SITE/wp-admin/
which takes me to the main site’s dashboard, with no issues.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Problem with JAVA disabling content of a WP page.well you could just google it 🙂
here it is
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/optinpop-unblockable-popup-windows/Thank you.
That did not help either. what I did, I entered the permalinks and just clicked save. Tested , no change.
Then selected “default” permalinks, saved, tested, no change either.
Then reverted to the original setting “/blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/” but no change as well
How can I save it ? I can’t access the network dashboard at all !
I tried accessing wp-admin/upgrade.php , update, and update-core and I got the same results.
Is there no way to reset something there ?
What’s killing me is that the subsites and their dashboard are working great !Ipstenu I am relying on you with this 🙁
I emailed my hosting support (who are usually very helpful) but they said they dont support WP MU (which I understand).
