Title: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_get_user_request_data Last modified: April 1, 2020 --- # Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_get_user_request_data * Resolved [freia010](https://wordpress.org/support/users/freia010/) * (@freia010) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-cannot-redeclare-wp_get_user_request_data/) * Hi, * A couple days ago I tried logging in on my WordPress website and I could get to my dashboard, but on my site I was logged in, just wasn’t able to get to my dashboard. But when I tried an other button, like ‘edit this page’ I did get in. So I thought this was weird, I tried updating my WordPress version to 5.3 but I couldn’t. I let it be for a day and now I still see my website, I get logged in but I can not enter my dashboard. So I followed some steps to see what the problem was, I was supposed to get an email of this, but I didn’t so I edited the wp-config.php file to show the bug. * This came out: * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_get_user_request_data() (previously declared in /mnt/web403/c2/21/59767121/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-includes/user.php:3639) in /mnt/web403/c2/21/59767121/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-admin/includes/deprecated. php on line 1578 * But I don’t know what to do now… * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffatal-error-cannot-redeclare-wp_get_user_request_data%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-cannot-redeclare-wp_get_user_request_data/#post-12611520) * This type of error usually appears when you have performed an incomplete upgrade. * Do a manual upgrade.
