    I’ve tried looking at this subject via the forums and I am still coming up empty on what I am to do, exactly. Maybe it is right under my nose and I am not seeing it because it is so simple, but…

    I recently migrated my site to a testing folder, set everything up (or so I thought) according to the migration directions featured in the Codex. I attempt to access the wp-admin, and I get this error

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function apply_filters() in /home/content/d/a/r/darcher/html/clgb_final/wp-includes/l10n.php on line 85

    I’m building a site as a “learn-as-you-go” and this is my current hurdle. Can someone please assist?

    What am I missing?

    Thank you.

    Fatal error in the output generally indicates either: (1) your theme doesn’t like your version of WordPress (2) you have a plugin that doesn’t like your version of WordPress (3) or you have an incomplete install/upgrade.

    So, have you tried:

    – deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s). If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try deactivating via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
    – switching to the unedited default, core-bundled Theme (such as Twenty Twelve, Twenty Thirteen or Twenty Fourteen) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue. If you don’t have access to your admin area, you can switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides. Alternately, you can remove other themes except the default theme. That will force your site to use it.
    resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems (because the hooks remain unless plugins completely removed or some plugins stick around in cached files. So by renaming the folder, you break them and force them inactive).
    – If the above troubleshooting steps fail to resolve the issue, try MANUALLY re-uploading all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones. Read the Manual Update directions first!

    Hello Tara,

    Thank you for responding. I am trying that out next. I have gone into toe Admin portal via the localhost version and deactivated all the plugins and changed the theme to the default. Now I am waiting for the file to re-upload to be followed by your suggesting. I am hoping it solves the issue. I am sure it will solve the issue.

    Tara,

    That was it. Thank you for confirming the actions I ended up taking.
