    I just used automatic upgrade to 2.8. It said it installed fine and completed the installation. Then when I tried to do anything: log back in, look at the site, I get the same error message:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined method WordPress_Module::_weak_escape() in /home/troublei/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 487

    What do I do?

  • This appears to be caused by the Redirect plugin. Delete that plugin from your plugin folder. Hopefully the author will release an update soon.

    Thank you Mertei! I simply deleted the redirection file and now 2.8 works. That was easy.

    Yes, thanks Mertei. Deleting the redirection plugin worked for me, too.

    Hey I don’t have any redirection plugin. If I create an empty plugins folder then none of the page loads. its shows a blank page.

    Yes, I renamed the redirection plugin folder to redirection2….

    The problem is I NEED THAT PLUGIN!

    Most of my outbound links depend on it! I CAN’T SIMPLY STOP USING IT!

    Any solution guys?

    I too solved the problem by renaming the folder redirect2. When I went to my plugins page after that there was an upgrade and the upgrade solved the problem.

    So if you upgrade the plugin first you might be able to avoid the problem all together.

    I had the same …wp-db.php on line 487 error and solved it by upgrading the redirection plugin to the latest version (2.1.22) – https://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/
