Fatal Error – Crashes Site

You can include me in that. And by the way: scrubbing and reinstalling wp-includes doesn’t cut it.

By the way, I checked. wp_get_current_user() is defined in wp-includes/pluggable.php. That shouldn’t have anything to do with WPAA. But now I cannot deactivate the plugin, because I cannot even get into the dashboard.

Couldn’t wait anymore. I signed into my file manager and scrubbed WPAA completely. Now the site will run. E-mail me when you are ready to help me rebuild my shattered Amazon Associations.

Hi this seems to be an issue with WordPress per some other posts.

Fix :

You open capablities.php and add require_once(‘pluggable.php’);
(but you need to change those quotes to single quotes) right after the opening <?php tag at the top of the file.

As described in following Post

As incredible as it seems, the fault does lie with a fatal omission from the capabilities.php file in wp-includes. A simple require-once statement after the comments (but before the first class declaration) allows WPAA to function as before. Amazingly, my configuration remained intact.

The only problem was that I scrubbed a bunch of Amazon Carousel Widget shortcodes from my articles before this fix came in. Now I have to decide: do I restore them? Or not?

Anyway, now, it would appear, this topic should be resolved. But this is a rather urgent fix. And WordPress needs to implement this right away, and maybe push another upgrade.

Yes, a strange issue as it is not present for all users. I am releasing a bug fix (1.7.1) to put in a check for if the wp_get_current_user function exists and if not the Admin Localization (to view content as a locale for logged in administrator) will be disabled.

Sorry for any problems this caused.
