Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user()

I installed WPMU, which seems to be working fine. After I installed the buddypress plugin, I am getting the following error whenever I try to view my site: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /html/wp-includes/capabilities.php line 920.

But if I remove the buddypress plugin, the WPMU works fine. (Note that the relevant permissions are already set to 755.)

I’ve been hearing that this is caused by a widget error in one of the buddypress plugins, but am not sure how to fix it.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Haven’t run across this as an issue with bp before.

I don’t think it is exactly a strictly BP issue, but I have no idea other than this google search.

I found this post and it helped (https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=7393)

In file wp-includes/capabilities.php add on line 2:

require_once(‘pluggable.php’);

Worked PERFECTLY!

because i think you’re using svn, you should upgrade to the final

@nicolagreco,

Thank you for your post. I thought I downloaded the buddypress combo, which is the final version. I didn’t even go to the SVN site.

Is there someplace I can double check to make sure I have the final version?

Thanks,

Jessica

Jessica, it has nothing to do with update, svn, final or whatsoever..

only the fix below works. like you posted.

In file wp-includes/capabilities.php add on line 2:

require_once(‘pluggable.php’);

thanks, it helped us too.

and to whom it may concern; these kind of errors are discouraging. If we had a decent buddypress alternative we would have switched already. $bp related errors* and errors that belong to the core, very demotivating as they are making our whole system unstable.

We spend hours first on the system try to find what’s wrong, and hours on internet try to find if anyone else has a fix.
