I experienced many of the same problems posted in this thread – specifically:

Auto upgrade failed – it appears not all files were copied. ( I blame this on hughes net not WP)

Trying to go to home page or wp-admin resulted in the blank white page.

After reading this thread I was able to get things corrected fairly quickly.

1. First I renamed the Plugins directory
2. Then I recopied all the files for the upgrade from the wp-content/upgrade directory back out to the root blog site.
3. The blog was up and when I logged into wp-admin it prompted for the DB upgrade. At this point the site was still cripled due to missing plugings.
4. I simply copied those from the old plugins directory to the new one and worked through them one at a time – I found several that had new 2.8 versions.

Anyway – I hope that helps those that have experienced the frustration of a bad upgrade. I was almost lulled into not making backups after such a great experience with the last automatic upgrade…. but i think my take away from this experience is that each upgrade is new and may have its own challanges!

Good Blogging to All!

It looks like I had an aborted upgrade. I reposted the files and now the entire site is out of wack…my left side bar is not in the right place and when I log into admin I get the following “headers already started message”:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/vaughnshire.com/wp-config.php:1) in /home/www/vaughnshire.com/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 390

I’m searching for solutions to this for now. I’ve been through a few of the post about removing extra lines in the opening and closeing php tags, but no joy so far. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks – paul

YOu can try to register to see the problem.

BTW – the sites at https://vaughnshire.com

This is the problem I am having with my admin pages. Nothing in the wp-admin or wp-includes directories will load. i get a blank page… no errors at all.

So far the main index page seems to load fine, but wp-login.php redirects and loads a blank page. can’t register a new user. the only page in these directories I’ve been able to load is wp-mail.php which is not configured.

Does anyone have any ideas?

TIA for any help.

I got the same message, after I reset my password…. but it did let me in.
