Upgraded to 3.0 — Observing Weird Problems

DewPointProductions — If you can look in your error log for any errors, that would help. Alternatively ask Earthlink to look them up, and we can look at them. I’m confident that WP 3.0 is now fully compatible with PHP 5.0.5, but I can’t be certain.

roy547 — There was not a 2.8.7 release ??

I just wanted to say. You guys are awesome. I just downloaded your new version of post.php and it worked perfectly!

Thanks!

I still have the problem,
I already have increase the version of wordpress, but this haven’t fix my problem.
When i post an image only, I do not have the problem, But when I add text to the post, this one fails, and throws me the blank page.

Please Help!

julio81: I will need to know the error being thrown. Can you add define('WP_DEBUG', true); to wp-config.php? Then paste the errors here.

If there is an additional incompatibility with 3.0.1 and PHP 5.0.5 I will want to make sure we can fix it in 3.0.1 before we release it early next week.

Hi,

I’m new to wordpress, but have a good bit of experience with html, php, and the like. I’m on Earthlink and have been having problems with the white page as well.

I tried the work around, both uploading the single post.php file (from wp-admin/includes/ v. 3.0.1) as well as updating both the wp-admin and wp-includes folders. Unfortunately neither worked entirely.

I also wiped everything, including the database and started from scratch (before generating any errors) and uploaded the new post.php file to start off with. I still get white pages.

As you suggested in your last post I turned on the debugger. I generated the same error using two different methods.

1. When using the twentyten theme set to static page to open, the menu option that points to the page designated for displaying posts generated the following error.

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /netapp/whnas-silo1-node1/s4/s4/00662/www.flagparade.org/webdocs/wordpress/wp-includes/query.php on line 2741

2. I went to Pages->Edit->View Page to view the page that would not load correctly and it gave the same error.

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /netapp/whnas-silo1-node1/s4/s4/00662/www.flagparade.org/webdocs/wordpress/wp-includes/query.php on line 2741

Hope some of this helps.

I left the debugger on so you could see for yourself. It’s at https://www.flagparade.org/wordpress . The offending menu item is “Yet Another Blog Page”.

It’s not much of a blog, since I’m just playing around with the interface getting up to speed.

Fixing that now. Thanks!

Will want to know if there are any other errors you can generate.

Accra,

It was indeed another incompatibility with PHP 5.0.5, involving static posts pages.

I combed through some more code and fixed five additional issues. All of these fixes will be in 3.0.1, which we intend to release early next week. Make sure you upgrade and you should be fine. If you do notice any other white screens resulting from this odd bug, feel free to return here and I’ll take a look.

Ultimately though, Earthlink should be speeding up their adoption of a newer version of PHP. Our new minimum requirements will be 5.2.0 for WordPress 3.2.

Thanks,
Nacin

Hello!

I’m not sure that my problem relates to this string but, sometime within the past two or three days, my blog (see it here) disappeared, i.e., all white screens, wp-admin included.

I upgraded to WP 3.0 a few days ago and it seemed to work just fine for several days. Then, last night, nothing but white screens.

Any help would be appreciated!

Nacin,

Thanks so much! I will check in early next week for the update. And as you suggested in an earlier I post I made sure to let Earthlink know that PHP 5.0.5 needed to be upgraded.

Thanks again,

Accra

Earl – If you’re not using Earthlink, please open a new support topic.

Accra – you’re quite welcome.

Using Earthlink for our host (trying to get that changed). Brand new installation, 3.0.1 and I’m having the same problem described in this thread: on new posts they don’t show up under ‘mysite.com/blog’ but individual posts are visible at their specific permalink. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I’m done with Earthlink- we are switching to Website Source for our webhost.

Hello,
I have the same problem (blank page for new page or post).
My host has PHP 5.3.3-0.dotdeb.0. on Debian (Leny) Do you think it is the problem ?
Thank you.

I have the same issue:

PHP v5.3.2

server: Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-?rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough?/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635

I’m getting a 404 error message when trying to add a new post or page.
