WordPress 2.8

  • WordPress 2.8 just messed everything up, and I am so mad at myself, I did not backup my latest 2.7 folder, I have one but not the latest. My dashboard is a mess, my posts are in html even though I am on visual, when I got to new post there are no editing tools. I can still see my posts on the site, but they look nothing what they look like on the dashboard, what is going on?

  • Might need to deactivate all plugins and clear your browser cache and cookies.

    If necessary, read How to deactivate all plugins when not able to access the administrative menus?

    There also maybe the need to follow Steps 7 and 8 of Upgrading WordPress Extended if deactivating plugins doesn’t work.

    For future reference, review WordPress Backups.

    I have upgaded to wordpress 2.8 and having problems that I hope there is a patch for or something.

    1. the widget interface looks nice and seems to work but then does not remeber the changes made, I mean when I go back the widget is added but the details – name etc… are will not save. Even though it says they are saved.

    2. Another odd thing The “general” setting are not working. I have set up my site for this page : https://www.forum.rogersvillewomeninbusiness.com/forum
    to show up as home page and the setting does not seem to take…

    Any answers you can give me or send me in the right direction for help would be great.

    Oh, I also can not get the plugin “Event Calendar” (Luke Howell) to work proper since upgrade.

    I found a temporary fix.

    When I did the upgrade I did the “automatic”.
    The files I had on my home pc were still the old version, I just re-loaded them.

    I am going to hang out here in the boards until I see some fixes for the newer version and then try the upgrade again.

    I had the same problem, and couldn’t access my sites backend. Turns out it was caused by my recent installation of Buddypress. I went to my FTP, deleted the plugin, and it was fixed.

    I did the automatic upgrade and deactivated all my plugins but have problems with my dashboard.

    I am also having posting links when I make a post. Can’t get the link to open into a new page as I could with the old version.

    I’m noticing that the WPG2 plugin breaks many of the save features on the site.

    you end up with a white page of death .. sometime going back and reloading the page works but it ends up totally hanging ….

    I can’t change the date of any posts, I can’t use the widget settings… several other minor issues like certain plugins not working… big mistake updating.

    I am keeping all other sites at 2.7
