WordPress 2.8 “Baker” is now available for download. If your upgrading from a previous version, you should do an Automatic Upgrade from the wp-admin of your WordPress blog or site. WordPress 2.8 looks and feels like 2.7 but with many improvements to themes, widgets, taxonomies, and overall speed. There are over 790 bug fixes. This release is in honor of jazz legend Chet Baker.
Using the Automatic Upgrade is always fast and easy, but this time, it presented me with an error message after upgrading:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_site_admin() in /home2/menoobco/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sem-google-analytics/sem-google-analytics-admin.php on line 20
To fix the error and get back your wp-admin page, you need to go to the File Manager utility of your Web Host, go to your Plugins directory and rename the folder sem-google-analytics to some other name such as sem-google-analytics-orig.
Refresh your wp-admin page and the sem-google-analytics plugin will automatically be deactivated.
Just wait for an upgrade from the Plugin author before activating it again, or simply replace it by a similar plugin.
Enjoy your new WordPress 2.8 “Baker”!

Ahhh, thank you! I was preparing a freak-out, but this managed it quite quickly.
You're welcome! :-)
Nice find, thanks!
An easier way is to ftp in and rename the google analytics plugin file, which breaks the error and lets you into the admin panel. Then you can deactivate it.
Are there any fixes to this yet? You're like the top google search while I'm trying to find out!! I really want to be able to see my stats again…
I have replaced mine with Google Analytics for WordPress by Joost de Valk.
Thanks for writing this, really saved my bacon!

You save my day! Thanks so much!
Oh man, thanks so much for this explanation. Wahoo! Freedom!
THANKS! I was also starting to freak out!
Can one of the reasons this error occurs be the fact that I'm using shared web hosting for my Wordpress blog?
Thanks, the explanation was clear. And the solution worked. Cheers
