Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_get_user_request_data

Hi,

A couple days ago I tried logging in on my WordPress website and I could get to my dashboard, but on my site I was logged in, just wasn’t able to get to my dashboard. But when I tried an other button, like ‘edit this page’ I did get in. So I thought this was weird, I tried updating my WordPress version to 5.3 but I couldn’t. I let it be for a day and now I still see my website, I get logged in but I can not enter my dashboard. So I followed some steps to see what the problem was, I was supposed to get an email of this, but I didn’t so I edited the wp-config.php file to show the bug.

This came out:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_get_user_request_data() (previously declared in /mnt/web403/c2/21/59767121/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-includes/user.php:3639) in /mnt/web403/c2/21/59767121/htdocs/WordPress_01/wp-admin/includes/deprecated.php on line 1578

But I don’t know what to do now…

This type of error usually appears when you have performed an incomplete upgrade.

Do a manual upgrade. Download a fresh copy of WordPress and install it manually.

You must upgrade wordpress manually and it’s working. I just did it and it’s ok.

Today in morning, I saw there was wordpress update. Then I clicked on updated and it was updating. After some time I saw this message on the screen –

“Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wp_get_user_request_data() (previously declared in /home/u342059081/domains/contactyourmind.com/public_html/wp-includes/user.php:3700) in /home/u342059081/domains/contactyourmind.com/public_html/wp-admin/includes/deprecated.php on line 1578

My website is working fine, but I am not able to enter the dashboard. I cannot enter this page – http://www.domainname.com/wp-admin

Do anyone have same issue? What can we do about this problem?

Same here, happened during upgrade to version 5.4.0 .

Just hit back to admin url, database upgrade was separately requested (never happened before, though), hit it and seems all good so far.

Updating manually works, bit of a pain but oke… Thanks for the help.

When I try to update I get the reaction: ! The web application selected is already running the latest version.

What can we do?
