Cannot redeclare retrieve_password() error in 5.7

[khr2003]

The latest update is causing this error when trying to login:

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare retrieve_password() (previously declared in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-login.php:357) in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-includes/user.php on line 2671

as suggested by the error retrive_password is duplicated in the two files. I looked at the source and it seems wp-login.php is the old version so it needs to be deleted.

Hi @khr2003,

Welcome to Trac!

Just noting that retrieve_password() was indeed moved from wp-login.php to wp-includes/functions.php in [50129] and further to wp-includes/user.php in [50140] / #34281.

So this seems to be a case of an incomplete upgrade. Downloading the ​latest version of WordPress and replacing the wp-login.php file with a fresh copy should fix the issue.

@SergeyBiryukov You are right. I was not able to update WordPress through admin area due to file permissions inconsistencies. I tried to do it manually and did not replace all files.
