Title: Call to undefined function request_filesystem_credentials() Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Call to undefined function request_filesystem_credentials() * Resolved [ozitsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozitsupport/) * (@ozitsupport) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-request_filesystem_credentials/) * Very weird issue here. Brand new installation, uploaded everything to the site root, go to the URL and get: * Fatal error: Call to undefined function request_filesystem_credentials() in / home/ozitsupport/public_html/oncallgeek.com.au/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader- skins.php on line 47 * Anyone have any ideas? * As a bit of background, this is an add on domain with its own root directory, hosted by GoDaddy (have a similar thing with another URL and never had an issue with that one). * Any help much appreciated Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [RossMitchell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rossmitchell/) * (@rossmitchell) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-request_filesystem_credentials/#post-5562215) * Most likely some files are missing or corrupted. This can happen on new installs. The solution is to download to your computer a set of WordPress 4.0.1 files, then access your site using FTP and delete and then upload fresh copies of directories“ wp-includes” and “wp-admin” * Thread Starter [ozitsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozitsupport/) * (@ozitsupport) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-request_filesystem_credentials/#post-5562222) * Hi Ross, * Thanks for the speedy reply. * This was was even after downloading 4.0.1 from wordpress.org and uploading all files via FTP. It hasn’t even started the install of WP yet * [RossMitchell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rossmitchell/) * (@rossmitchell) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-request_filesystem_credentials/#post-5562241) * It would be ideal if you could get a catalogue list of all the files with md5sum values, but this is difficult to do. * The definition of this function is in file: wp-admin/includes/file.php Could you upload this files again. * Thread Starter [ozitsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozitsupport/) * (@ozitsupport) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-request_filesystem_credentials/#post-5562242) * And that has sorted the issue!!! * Thanks so much Ross!!! * [RossMitchell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rossmitchell/) * (@rossmitchell) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-request_filesystem_credentials/#post-5562250) * Could you mark this thread as resolved. * Thread Starter [ozitsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozitsupport/) * (@ozitsupport) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-request_filesystem_credentials/#post-5562255) * Done.

If you didn’t upload one file properly somehow the first time, then it’s likely that others might be wrong too. * [stardrive](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stardrive/) * (@stardrive) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-request_filesystem_credentials/#post-5562626) * Please, I have the same issue. * When I click on any menu option on the admin dashboard, i get the following error: * Fatal error: Call to undefined function request_filesystem_credentials() in / home1/testroot/public_html/testsite/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader-skins. php on line 75 * Even when I uploaded wp-admin/includes/file.php, I still got the same error. * Right now, I cannot do anything on the dashboard. * Please, kindly assist. * Regards, * Stardrive * [stardrive](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stardrive/) * (@stardrive) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-request_filesystem_credentials/#post-5562627) * Hello, * I have detected the pro version of a popular slider plugin to be the cause of the above strange and rare problem. I discovered this after deleting the plugin in my control panel of my web host. I have notified the plugin vendor. * Best Regards, * Stardrive * [amokdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amokdesign/) * (@amokdesign) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-request_filesystem_credentials/#post-5562628) * Hi Stardrive, I think this may be the cause of my problem also, everything was working fine until I activated a slider last night and now i cant access my admin or site at all … please inform me if you are given a solution or can suggest another slider plugin i could try? I will try deleting that through c-panel now.

The plugin author have fixed the issue and released an updated version of the plugin today. So, if you are using master slider pro, you can upgrade to the new version * Regards, * Stardrive * [amokdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amokdesign/) * (@amokdesign) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-undefined-function-request_filesystem_credentials/#post-5562630) * Thankyou, it was included in my theme so i dont know if it was pro version or not, do you know how i could upgrade it if i cant access my admin panel? can i do it through c-panel?
