This issue of blank pages and user creation persists in 2.6 now. I had no problems before the 2.7 upgrade, and it’s really marvellous to see this bug transport itself back down to 2.6…except that this seems to be happening on MY blog, which takes out the amusement factor fairly quickly.

Thoughts? Would really love some. I had thought to create new user accounts, then migrate the info from the older corrupted ones into the new ones. but the new ones themselves don’t work once you take them out of subscriber status, in either 2.6 or 2.7 now. I am stumped at this point.

OK this is ridiculous. These accounts, when created via register, are okay only so long as they are subscribers. When changed to author, suddenly the site admin goes blank; change them back to subscriber and the site admin can be seen again. This is true if I change the account to anything other than subscriber and then back again.

The View Source in FF shows me as stopped along here when I get the blue screen of death, every time I check:
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’my-wp-site/wp-admin/js/plugin-install.js?ver=20081210′></script>
<script type=’text/javascript’ src=’my-wp-site/wp-admin/js/media-upload.js?ver=20081210′></script>

Not that that seems especially helpful.

This is silly. Going to go back to 2.6 and rebuild my users db there. *grump*

Final bit of information. If I use the admin panel’s User functions to create a new user, by using the “Add User” link, the resulting user account gets the white/blue/blank screen. If I create a new account by using the registration link off the login page (having logged any current account out), the account created this way is functional.

Back again. Going back to 2.6 did not resolve my issue. I believe in my case some of my users have had their entries corrupted in the database when upgrading to 2.7 and now it doesn’t matter what version I’m running. I am going to delete and replace these users. Hope this issue is fixed at some point for 2.7…

Hello…Reading through this is rather interesting. After upgrading to 2.7 last week, what I have found is that some users can get in to the admin panel and others cannot. It is very consistent (but no obvious reasons for the two groups) — one user will always get the light blue screen of death (as we started dubbing it) and another never does. Fortunately all our admin people had no problems, but a good number of our author and editors and plain subscribers can’t get in. What perplexes me about that is that it would seem to contradict the notion that it’s something in the code as described above – I would expect php/wp 2.7 incompatibility to result in something across the board (which seems to be what most of yo have). We’ve got something quite different, some users affected and some not. I’ve poked thru the databases on the *_users and *_usermeta and not seen anything untoward, but I’m seriosly thinking some kind of database corruption.

I did get this error message at one point
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 94371840 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /my-wp-path/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 636

which is basically one of the generic retrieval routines, not sure which query tripped that, of course.

Anyway, I am rolling back to 2.6 as I have no patience for even this much poking about, really, but hope maybe this sheds futher light. We tested pretty extensively with our different users on different browsers, clearing caches, cookies, etc. I did not attempt to change anything in the wp install itself apart from the upgrade steps. I can’t see how any of the above pertains, because they should be across the board and as I have said, only some of our users are affected.
