Localhost load-scripts.php Error 500 in Dashboard [closed]

by

I cloned a remote site on my local MAMP. I fixed pretty much all isues like permission issues and timthumb cache issue used by my Woothemes Fresh News theme. The only issue now is that the backend is not working properly. I cannot add tags nor pick existing ones. I cannot load the featured image I picked and so on. When I check the access log I see:

[29/Jul/2012:14:59:42 +0700] "GET /wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=1&load=admin-bar,hoverIntent,common,jquery-color,schedule,wp-ajax-response,autosave,wp-lists,quicktags,jquery-query,admin-comments,suggest,jquery-ui-mouse,jquery-ui-sortable,postbox,post,media-upload,jquery-ui-datepicker,theme-preview,word-count,editor,jquery-ui-resizable,jquery-ui-draggable,jquery-ui-button,jquery-ui-position,jquery-ui-dialog,wpdialogs,wplink,wpdialogs-popup,wp-fullscreen&ver=3.4.1 HTTP/1.1" 500 -
::1 - -

In the error_log I found

[Sun Jul 29 15:14:47 2012] [error] [client ::1] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function did_action() in /opt/local/www/elc/wp-includes/script-loader.php on line 65, referer: http://elc.local/wp-admin/edit.php

I tried turning off all plugins by renaming the plugins folder as regular deactivation did not work either. But it did not work. Still jQuery / JavaScript issues. I Googled for a solution. No luck. Any ideas to get me back to working on the site locally?

Had to remove the folders wp-admin and wp-includes and add them again. Now all good. Somehow some of the files did not tag along during the migration. Has been a long time since I had this issue so did not think that would happen. But it did. This was because two different users have uploaded data and data uploaded by one was hidden by another. This happened as I moped a sub domain to another user for security purposes. I will never forget this again.

NB I still have some slides that are not being loaded despite replacing all urls using the tool search-andreplace from https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ by David Coveney. and adding all missing files. But that is another issue I will have to deal with later on.
