    When I upgraded to 3.6 4 days ago, I found that I cannot make any changes to any of the pages.I get an error message on every page saying not to connect it however I am connected because I can make other types of changes or modifications to my WP installation.

    I had another post which curiously I cannot find now and at least four other people commented they were having exactly the same problem. I thought I got lucky this morning it turned out that I made a backup of my WP installation of couple days before upgrading to version 3.6. I downloaded as a copy of the entire WP folder, then erased it on the server, Then uploaded my pre-3.6 version. I thought I could pick up for everything had been running. WRONG! Now when I try to go to WP – admin Now I get a page that says I must upgrade.I can’t get into my dashboard. Then I tried just going to admin, and that also takes me to an upgrade page.

    I doubt the WP is deliberately trying to drive me crazy but how do I get past this nonsense? I’ve tried reinstalling 3.6, no go. I’ve tried doing everything that was suggested me in my previous post nothing works. I would be very happy just to get back to my 3.5 version that was completely working and then I made the mistake of believing that upgrading to 3.6 would only be for the better. Boy am I was I wrong!

  • …made me desperate enough that I was willing to try the unreasonable – change themes.

    Help spread the word…and I used to not want to have to de-activate all my plugins either! But no matter how the site might look for a few minutes, experience has proved the mods here had been right all along:

    “When everything goes goofy, begin troubleshooting by disabling all — yes, *all* — plugins and activating a default WordPress theme!” –unanimous

    Glad you figured it out. The reason the mods (and other troubleshooters here) recommend that you disable all plugins and activate a standard WordPress theme (like twentytwelve) is that it puts your WordPress install back to a common working state (most of the time at any rate) that we can then work from to figure out if it’s a plugin, a theme, or your host which may be causing the issue.
