 * PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_network_admin() in /home/kriswb/
   public_html/wp-admin/admin-header.php on line 16
 * I am getting this error on my site, im running 3.0.5.
 * All of a sudden today when i log into wp-admin i get taken to a 500 internal 
   server error page.
 * I haven’t changed any plugins, none have been updated, no new themes or alterations.
   Just new content as in posts and media.
 * Can anyone help me solve this?

 * This is ridiculous. Why can’t the WordPress team fix this issue which has been
   happening for the past several versions?? Why even have an auto-update if it 
   never works?

 * A lot of issues regarding the auto update are to do with your hosts server settings…
   
   I had no end of trouble until they updated their settings and now all my sites
   auto update without issue. I’ll give them an email to see what they did and i’ll
   report back when i get a response … BBS <W>

 * I have an Atahualpa theme that I have tweaked just how I want it… on the 5th 
   of this month I clicked Update WP on the dash and now I can’t log in to the admin
   at all. I don’t want to lose everything I have done on the site previously. Any
   ideas? I am hosted with godaddy.
    TIA lnsokol
