# WP-Admin access: HTTPError500

 * Hello,
 * I am experiencing a major error with trying to log in to the admin area of my
   website (I’ve seen it called the “White Screen of Death” too). When I try to 
   access <www.themusicphoenix.com/wp-admin> I get “HTTP Error500 (Internal Server
   Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting
   to fulfill the request.”
 * According to my error log, the following issues have happened:
 * [10-Aug-2012 00:19:51] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes
   exhausted (tried to allocate 13987004 bytes)in wp-includes/class-http.php on 
   line 1154
 * [10-Aug-2012 18:27:50] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_theme_data()
   in wp-content/themes/mystique/atom-core.php on line 143
 * [13-Aug-2012 06:52:29] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_load_translations_early()
   in wp-includes/functions.php on line 1129″
 * About 4 days ago, I wrote a new post on the website; the main page loads, but
   shows that post as only 17 hours old. The website isn’t able to notice what time
   or day it is either. (not sure if that detail will help or not)
 * —
    Here are a number of things I have tried without luck: -refreshing my computer’s
   cache -restoring my most recent backup, restoring last week’s backup and restoring
   last month’s backup -deactivating the plugins through the FTP -deactivating the
   cache through FTP -creating the php.ini to add the memory=20mb -editing the .
   htaccess & deleting and recreating the .htaccess -uninstalling wordpress and 
   restoring the backup
 * I am up to date with all of the updates, in fact it was right after the update
   of “viper video quicktags” when the site went into this error.
    -I have tried
   deleting that plugin from the FTP and the problem still exists -I’ve also been
   in phpMyAdmin to try those suggestions.
 * I’m not sure how to deactivate a theme without accessing the actual admin page.
 * —
    As you can tell, I have tried just about every suggestion I could get my hands
   on. I really don’t want to scrap the website and start over – I have nearly 450
   posts on this website that I would lose. Please help me!

 * I hope you have backed up database.
 * Have you tried to **replace**(delete them) all files and folders except your **
   wp-content** folder and **wp-config.php** file using ftp

 * I never deleted the files first, I just went with the restore button. How much
   do I delete? Just **wp-admin** and **wp-includes**? Or everything (outside of**
   wp-content** and **wp-config.php**?
 * …I do have a backup saved to my computer which is good.

 * Did you make any changes in wp-config.php file to cause this error.

 * No, but I re-uploaded that specific file after I received that error and that
   fixed the problem. Except for being back to the original problem of course

   so the default theme opens.

 * Yeah, those don’t appear to be the problems anymore. The only issue I am working
   with now is:
 * [14-Aug-2012 00:31:07] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_load_translations_early()
   in public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1129
 * I’ve even tried to delete that code completely and then it tells me I’m missing
   tables or something and offers to fix it and after I go through the steps I ultimately
   have to put the code back and I’m back to step one.
 * Not trying to be difficult, I’m just not sure what I can do anymore and my host
   provider has been less than helpful – just giving me the surface level solutions.
