 * Hi,
 * I’ve wordpress running for about a while, but now I want to change some things
   and build some things on it. For some of this I need to get things like user 
   name and e-mail etc. .
    Now I tried using get_currentuserinfo();, like [http://codex.wordpress.org/get_currentuserinfo](http://codex.wordpress.org/get_currentuserinfo)
   says, but this gives me an error: Call to undefined function.
 * Does anyone know what the problem is and how i can solve it?
 * Thijs

 * what version?
 * If youre using 2.x that function is inside pluggable-fucntions.php which, in 
   my own experience, has caused problems.
 * What I did was move everything out of that file and into one of the other core
   files, like plain ole functions.php
 * There might be other ways to get around that error, thats just the way I overcame
   it.

 * This worked for me. I only used require_once(dirname(__FILE__).’/pluggable-functions.
   php’); instead of copying everything to functions.php
 * Thanks anyway!:)
