   I am hosted at GoDaddy.com, and have performed a wordpress update on their system... that might very well be the fatal error... however, the blog was working properly... and now it returns the following:

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_file_data() in /home/content/u/m/a/umadoshi/html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/jetpack.php on line 278

   I have deleted jetpack plugin, downloaded the latest version, and uploaded it to the proper location on the FTP server. The error remains.

   I am using CreativeSpark theme.

   Here is the code that supposedly is causing the error:

   /**
   * Load module data from module file. Headers differ from WordPress
   * plugin headers to avoid them being identified as standalone
   * plugins on the WordPress plugins page.
   */
   function get_module( $module ) {
   $headers = array(
   \'name\' => \'Module Name\',
   \'description\' => \'Module Description\',
   \'sort\' => \'Sort Order\',
   );
   $file = Jetpack::get_module_path( Jetpack::get_module_slug( $module ) );
   $mod = get_file_data( $file, $headers );
   if ( empty( $mod[\'sort\'] ) )
   $mod[\'sort\'] = 10;
   if ( !empty( $mod[\'name\'] ) )
   return $mod;
   return false;
   }

   Thanks for your help...

   It looks like your WordPress install is missing or has corrupt versions of some core files.

   Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_file_data() in /home/content/u/m/a/umadoshi/html/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/jetpack.php on line 278

   This is for Jetpack trying to call a core WordPress function - get_file_data which is defined in wp-includes/functions.php.

   It sounds like during the upgrade of your WordPress install some files got corrupted. The best thing to do is to replace the wp-includes/functions.php file with a new version and see if this resolves the error or a new one appears.

   You can do this by downloading the zip file for your WordPress version from here: http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/ and then uploading the file using FTP.

   Thanks for the reply... I will give it a shot.

   If it doesn't work, I will just try to rever back to the initial installation of wordpress.
