Are you saying that I can delete the specific plugin folder 100%?

I think he is saying “DO NOT Delete” the plugin folder. Instead, he recommends to edit the plugin files and change the string from is_site_admin to is_admin

Works great – thanks rmak!

Ok thanks!

I didn’t even know the function is_site_admin() exist(ed)… I used is_admin() all the time.

How do you delete the plugin folder if I cannot access the admin pages to edit anything?

You have to use your hosting control panel or FTP client to do that

Thanks! I didn’t have to delete anything. I logged onto my host server using SSH and directly edited the file with pico (it’s a UNIX host).

THanks again!

Thanks! I just edited sem-google-analytics-admin.php on my site and changed it as you said and it worked just fine.

Thank you! I upgraded today and got the error. Searched and found your perfect fix.

Thanks for sharing the useful information…

Thanks for sharing this!!! Very helpful, quick fix that worked like a charm. As a note I had to .php files in my google analytics folder. It was the -admin.php that had to be changed and there were 2 instances of the is_site_admin()that had to be corrected.

Cheers!

Thanks for this Useful Info…

Thanks! That worked like a charm. As some mentioned above, my culprit was sem-google-analytics-admin.php and once I fixed it, it worked!

Thank you so much for posting this. I had no idea what was going on when this happened. Fortunately, your very simple solution was at the top of my Google search, and fixing this took all of two minutes.

Thanks for this!

I love simple clean solutions – thanks a bunch!

I am not sure I udnerstand this: is_site_admin was checking if the user is an overall admin. what does is_admin do? to me it sounds like its just checking for admin not “sper” admin? so every blog owner is basically an admin!?

actually, wordpress made is_site_admin() function obsolete and dropped from core functions. that’s why any plugin that calls it seize to work.

Hi,

Thx for your information. My problem solved just by editing is_site_admin() to is_admin() without deleting plugin’s folder

Thanks a lot for this. Saved me when upgrading to 2.8.4.

hi thanks!

this post helped a lot

some of my “fatal error” problems are already solved!

hope you can write a post about fixing fatal error on comments!

cheers!

Many thanks!
This worked a treat.

Although I edited mine in CPanel.

Good Post, clear and simple.

BTW the plugin I had to edit was wordpress_related_posts

Cheers

Thanks. This worked for me as well today. Edited my google analytics file in the plugin folder using CODA.

Thanks! Worked perfectly

Thanks so much for the tip!

Thank you, you’ve saved my life. You should add that the use of Notepad++ is highly recommended. It searched for the obsolete function and replaced it in the whole plugin folder automatically, which tottaly rocks!!!
