My client has encountered this problem. I have been unable to fix the problem. So I hope you can examine this for me.

If the fix I just put into the code doesn’t work, just delay the load of your plugin until after plugins_loaded, or possibly setup theme. * Long story short, wp_upload_dir() is called in the core, which calls the current_time() function. For whatever reason it hasn’t been loaded at that time. So… I included it. * We’ll see if that works.

The problem is that I disabled the plugins witht he command mv plugins/ plugins-bkp * But still no luck, it seems the error comes from core WP. I didn’t have this problem previously, just yesterday I tried to go to my blog and the problem appeared. If I restart Apache, it does’t appear for the first time, but still nothing shows in the page, and after the second time I get this stacktrace: * Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function current_time() in /var/ www/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php:2428 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/wordpress/ wp-includes/functions.php(2287): _wp_upload_dir() #1 /var/www/wordpress/wp-includes/ functions.php(2241): wp_upload_dir() #2 /var/www/wordpress/wp-includes/post.php( 503): wp_get_upload_dir() #3 /var/www/wordpress/wp-includes/post.php(6221): get_attached_file()# 4 /var/www/wordpress/wp-includes/post.php(6272): wp_attachment_is() #5 /var/www/ wordpress/wp-includes/media.php(193): wp_attachment_is_image() #6 /var/www/wordpress/ wp-includes/media.php(955): image_downsize() #7 /var/www/wordpress/wp-includes/ media.php(1119): wp_get_attachment_image_src() #8 /var/www/wordpress/wp-includes/ general-template.php(929): wp_get_attachment_image_url() #9 /var/www/wordpress/ wp-includes/general-template.php(970): get_site_icon_url() #10 /var/www/wordpress/ wp-includes/general-template.php(3256): has_site_icon() #11 /var/www/wordpress/ wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(287): wp_site_icon() # in /var/www/wordpress/wp- includes/functions.php on line 2428 * I cannot understand why it doesn’t find the function, it’s there in functions. php * Can you help me please? * Thanks! * Plugin Contributor [Dōvy Paukstys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dovyp/) * (@dovyp) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-error-call-to-undefined-function-current_time/#post-13396685) * So what we’ve found is this is a manifested permissions error. Long story short Redux isn’t able to read this file because either Redux or the WP core are under the wrong permissions. * I would love to try and fix this though, because perhaps I can find a way to make sure that Redux does things as it should. Would you be willing to provide me wp-admin access? * If you’d prefer not, the best bet is to follow a guide like this to fix your permissions.

I mention I didn’t install the redux plugin at all. This is very weird, the wordpress installation was working just fine, but all of a sudden it stopped… * [afivan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afivan/) * (@afivan) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-error-call-to-undefined-function-current_time/#post-13398629) * It seems that I’ve solved the issue. I took the newest version of WP and I copied all files from wp-includes to my blog and now it works * Plugin Contributor [Dōvy Paukstys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dovyp/) * (@dovyp) * [5 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-error-call-to-undefined-function-current_time/#post-13403432) * WordPress couldn’t read the file and it manifested by saying that function didn’t exist. 😉 * Glad to hear it was solved!
