The .htaccess file is nowhere to be found anyway. Couldn’t touch it if I wanted to.

I have tried to manually reupload the files from 3.0.5 6 times now.

so I did all that stuff but…when going to try to rename the .htaccess is not there. DOH!

Shouldn’t it just be at the root? Could this be causing all my problems?

The hosting provider is a friend of mine who hosts websites for clients.
I checked with him yesterday and no changes have been made, everything is ok as he has other people who have this version of WP installed.

He looked and didn’t see anything wrong on the server side so it’s definitely something with the config on my end.

It’s not a plugin issue.
I renamed the plugin folder to something else and the put in the default WP plugin folder. I still can’t get to the admin panel.

As far as themes go, I deleted all the themes except the default and still can’t get in.

I’ve gone through almost everything I could find in the forums about this issue as well as things people wrote about randomly on their blogs, and none of it has worked. I’ve gone through the manual upgrade instructions 4 times and it’s still fubared.

I’m seriously about to blow the whole thing away and just start over from scratch.

I deactivated all the plugins before I started the upgrade process. One of the plugins was new (podcasting plugin). So how can I just delete it since I can’t get to any panel? Just go in via FTP and delete it?

How do I switch the default theme if I have no panel? All I have is the blank screen of death. Do I just delete all the themes except twentyten and that will force it?

I’ve replaced all the files except config and content twice and nothing has changed. Still get the blank screen of death.

I tried deactivating the plugins very early in the process and that didn’t solve the problem.

I looked at that and it’s how I have it setup…
https://rubyfruitradio.com/wordpress/wp-admin/ is where I go to login. I double checked all of that stuff and it matches up with this link.

WP has been installed for 3 years and worked fine until I installed a new theme manually in the folder and then manually installed the update.

rubyfruitradio.com is the site.
the url for all the wordpress stuff is https://www.rubyfruitradio.com/wordpress

I’ve had wordpress installed for at least 3 years, maybe 4 and have never had a problem. It was not until I went in and tried to edit under appearance that things broke and then after the update, things really broke.
I have tried to get to editor via the default theme and I get the same sorry message.

I tried the default theme and I still get the same message.

I tried a different theme and deactivating all plugins like suggested here https://quirm.net/2009/09/04/basic-wordpress-troubleshooting/
but i still can’t get to the editor.

I did a manual upgrade but now when I am in the dashboard and click on appearance/editor, I get this message
Sorry, can’t edit files with “..” in the name. If you are trying to edit a file in your WordPress home directory, you can just type the name of the file in.

before, it would take me a list of all the files (index.php, configs, headers etc).

not yet, i was about to.
it seems like something in general is messed up. yesterday, i tried to install a theme using the dashboard and it failed, so I just manually put it on the server and now the permissions are all messed up (even though i have rwx setup in such a way it should work (chmod 666 for isntance).

I’ll try the manual install and see what happens. maybe it will clear up everything.

I changed the value to several different ones and none of them worked. They didn’t seem to stick. I tried 666, 644 and a few others, but it keeps getting stuck on chmod 755 -rwxr-xr-x (which in theory should work for me.

Any ideas?
