I have been considering making a blog post for months now and my circular logic (and a bit of indifference) has kept me away from the keyboard. I needed to upgrade my version of Wordpress, I didn’t want to do it (headache!) so I just ignored my blog as a result. Today I had a more daunting task to tackle so, naturally, I took the path of less resistance and decided to upgrade my blog.
When I went into the dashboard, there was the persistent warning from Wordpress “Upgrade Now!”. Ok, ok, enough already. I knew it was a bad idea to push the “automatic upgrade” button so I backed up my database and THEN pushed the automatic upgrade button. 10 seconds later, I got the all clear and everything seemed ok. That is, until I tried to login again.
When I tried a login I got the following error, “Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_site_admin() in /xxxx/xxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sem-google-analytics/sem-google-analytics-admin.php on line 20″. Well, crap. So I went back and used my backup database to restore. Nada. So I looked on the internets and found this great solution but I did have to make some adjustments.
Basically, go into the control panel on your host, go to the plugin section and modify the folder name for the google analytics plugin. When you change the folder name, it automatically deactivates the plugin and the problem is solved. I didn’t have a folder so renamed all of the associated .php files (2 of them) and it did the trick. That was 10 minutes ago and here I am writing a post.
Good luck!
