Just updated app to 0.4.3 and still no go.

I am having the same problems as noted above. The space previously occupied by the widget on my homepage is now empty. https://www.christophersmith-op.com/

I am running 0.4.2 and I also re-entered the key and secret which generated the following error (same as dbcr)

{“code”: 400, “error_type”: “OAuthException”, “error_message”: “Redirect URI does not match registered redirect URI”}

Thank you.

The solution to my problem was to reset the settings in my php.ini file in wp-admin. I had modified to allow for larger media uploads but apparently I had set it too high. Amazing how such a little thing, changing one setting, can cripple your site.

Jan…thank you for talking me down off the ledge. I apologize for my behavior, especially to Esmi

I followed the directions you provided: switched to 2011, moved plug-ins folder, logged out, cleared cahce, logged in, created a test post, attempted to publish it and, as you guessed, it failed.

I went to the logs but I didn’t see anything about the failed publishing attempt. I saw my access to the site was recorded, but I tried three times to publish an entry. Here is what I saw. If you wanted me to access a different log, like via phpMYadmin, then I will need some fairly detailed instructions since I have never messed with that stuff before.

Knut…I attempted to create a new admin user, but I was unable. As for your other recommendations, as I told Jan, I don’t have any experience interfacing with my database with phpMYadmin, so I will need some help navigating that.

Thank you both for your help.

Seriously Esmi?!?

Your reply was to cut and paste what you sent me two days ago?

Did you read what I last posted? I know it was long, but that is because it was full of detail!!

To answer your question simply, with as few words as possible – YES, I tried all the things you recommended. I tried them the last time you recommended them.

Now what?

Okay, so my latest update.

First, I was obviously a bit irrational with my last post. I was very frustrated.

Second, I have restored my site, but the problems that prompted me to originally post still exist. These are some examples:

1) I can’t save or publish a new blog post. I can compose a new one, but if I click either save or publish, it kicks me out to the list of all my currently published posts. Every thing I typed before I clicked save or publish is lost.

2) I can’t removed widgets I’ve installed. For example, I had a box advertising the 50th Eucharistic Congress on my front page. It was two weeks ago and I want to delete it. I can delete behind the scenes but if I look at the blog it is still there.

3) I can’t update plug-ins for the site. For example, right now there is an update available for Jet-Pack because you successfully updated the WP version to 3.4. If I select it and click update, the block becomes unchecked and I get an error at the top that says, “Please select one or more plugins to update.” I can keep doing that over and over again.

These are just three examples. The bottom line is, I don’t have any behind the scenes control of my website. While I may be able to do certain things (e.g. write a new post or delete a widget), the changes don’t take effect, it’s like they changes are not “saving”.

These are the actions I have taken so far based on the advice I have seen in the forums (none of these have fixed the problems described above):

1) Updated to WP 3.4 via simple script
2) Down a fresh copy of WP 3.4 and uploaded files individually via FTP (1600 files)
3) Disabled all plug-ins
4) Tried to create a post while using twenty-eleven theme
5) Checked to make sure wp-content permissions are 755
6) Contacted my host (iPage) about the problem. Not surprisingly, they say its a WP problem. Here is a quote from iPage:

I’ve uploaded a test script at https://www.christophersmith-op.com/test.php and test database connection script at https://www.christophersmith-op.com/testdb.php and both are working fine . Hence, there’s no server side issues.

I’ve searched the forums and found that I’m not the first person to have the problem:
This one, from three years ago, describes my exact problem. This one also sounds a lot like my problem.

The “fixes” are all about the same: change theme, disable plug-ins, update WP. I’ve done all that.

Now what?

I’m kind of a rookie at all this so I guess I’m getting what I deserve (not really since the damn thing should have never crashed in the first place).

Anyway, I’ve disabled everything – I mean EVERYTHING!!! If you go to my URL now, it looks like something fresh out of the box. None of my content is there. It’s all GONE!! I don’t have any plug-ins installed (it won’t let me install any now) and I’ve changed to a different theme.

I’ve tried to restore a back-up to bring it back – doesn’t work!
-That is 541 posts over a two year period I can’t find!!
I’ve tried to create a new post (the original problem) – still can’t!
I’ve even tried to say screw it and start a new design without my old content, but none of the changes (colors, title, etc.) I make will save.

So not only have I lost my old site and all its awesome content, but I can’t even create a new one on the same URL.

WTF?!?
