Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen()

    I’ve just updated my site to buddypress2.0, and now am unable to access the administration for the site.
    The site is running correctly, but every time I try to access any of the administration pages, I get: Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in /home/jenae20/public_html_cip_thecustomgolfshop/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-admin.php on line 825

    Looking up this line: 

    if ( $this->users_page != get_current_screen()->id ) {
  return;
}

    If I comment out the if clause, things seem to work ok. Just wondering why this is causing an error. Appreciate anyone’s help who could shed light on it!

    To add some context, I updated buddy press just after updating to wp 3.9

    After a bit of google searching, I found something that seems to have solved the issue.
    Just before the if clause shown above, I inserted:

    `require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/screen.php’);’

    Error gone.

    Hi @chrisipeters

    This line should only be run if a user query is made, in administration and if it’s not an ajax request. So this is really weird. Can you share the plugin you activated on your site that are dealing with users ?

    I think a simpler fix can be to add another if statement above like :

    if ( ! function_exists( 'get_current_screen' ) )
     return;

    Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for the feedback.

    I am running bbPress for forums, and woo commerce, but other than that nothing user impacting.

    I did the WP3.9 update after which everything was fine,
    Then buddypress2.0, after which I experienced the error.

    Hi,
    Can you please help me with the exact same problem as well. I think I am up to date on all patches and just installed a bunch of premium plugins from wpmudev, but I was getting almost this exact same error trying to access admin screens this morning:
    Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in /home/bitpad/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-admin.php on line 825

    Your patch fixed it perfectly I think. I can now get back to the admin level. Thank you so much. I was worried I’d have to delete and reinstall plugin possibly starting over on a lot. I am now worried if I will break it by updating since it may over-write plugin patch you gave. Is all ok to upgrade next buddy press one that comes out?
    Thank you for your help! You saved a lot of grief 🙂

    Just wanted to chime in and say the patch worked perfectly for me. I was the same error when trying to use a plugin to export user data to CSV. Works now, thanks @imath!
