Call to undefined function is_admin()

  • Hello WordPress-Experts,

    I am having trouble installing wordpress. I followed all steps in this inistruction-set very carefully:

    Installing WordPress

    When I start the installation script by calling install.php I get the following PHP-Error:

    Call to undefined function is_admin() in “/path/to/wp-source/wp-admin/includes/comment.php on line 162

    WordPress documentation says:

    is_admin() is located in wp-includes/functions.php

    I was searching for “function is_admin()” in that file without success.

    Seems like there is no function definition which seems kind of strange to me.

    Do you have any idea where to find the solution?

    Thx in advance,
    – K. Broich

    It’s solved.

    I configured the wp-config.php during the installation process which seems to be the much more comfortable way.

    Thx!

    Hi kbroich

    I just ran into the same problem with a host who complies with the minimum requirements. configured wp-config.php by hand and tried the setup-config.php but still get the same message.

    Can you explain better/in more detail what you did to overcome the problem? first time using wordpress and im not at all experienced with mysql/php

    Anyone who also had this problem please reply

    Thanks very much
