 * Not sure what version of WP i’m using, it’s a few back (2 yrs old?) as my dashboard
   is currently paralzyed. I downloaded, installed and activated Disable Comments,
   and instantly my whole administration panel ceased to work. Whether i click on
   Dashboard, Pages, Posts, Comments, Appearance, Tools, Plugins, or any other section
   or subsection, i only see one thing, a fatal error message that says:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in /var/www/vhosts/
   mywebsitename.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/disable-comments/disable-comments.
   php on line 114
 * How do I go about fixing this?

 * Hi Deb,
 * The plugin requires WordPress version 3.2 or greater, which yours definitely 
   isn’t if you haven’t upgraded in so long. You really should upgrade as your site
   is currently insecure.
 * To fix it, you have to manually delete the folder `wp-content/plugins/disable-
   comments` – using FTP or whatever other means your web host provides. Once deleted
   your WordPress admin will be available again.
