Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function wp_get_network()

The error occurs because WordPress tries to call a function that does not exist in the loaded code. The core defines get_network() but the call uses wp_get_network(). The mismatch stops PHP execution and produces a fatal error.

When the function is missing, WordPress cannot load network features. The script aborts before any page output, resulting in a blank screen or error message.

Symptoms

White screen

Common Causes

Typo in code
Code calls wp_get_network() instead of get_network().
Outdated core
Running older WordPress version that lacks the function.
Missing network file
ms‑network.php is corrupted or not loaded.
Multisite not enabled
Network functions load only when MULTISITE is defined.
