If you’re a WordPress user, chances are you’ve come across a few errors here and there. While some of these errors can be easily fixed, others can be a little more tricky. In this blog post, we’re going to take a look at how to solve one specific WordPress and php problem.

The problem we’re going to solve is the “Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_recent_posts()” error. This error can occur when you try to access your WordPress site after a failed update, or if you have an outdated version of WordPress installed.

There are a few different ways to solve this problem, but we’re going to focus on two of the most common methods.

The first method is to simply delete the wp-get-recent-posts.php file from your WordPress directory. This file is no longer needed in newer versions of WordPress, so deleting it shouldn’t cause any problems.

The second method is to edit your wp-config.php file and add the following line:

define(‘WP_USE_EXT_MYSQL’, true);

This will tell WordPress to use the external MySQL database instead of the internal one, which should solve the problem.

Whichever method you choose, make sure to save your changes and upload the modified files to your server. Once that’s done, you should be able to access your WordPress site without any problems.
