Can’t edit/navigate posts or access Askimet configuration

    Hello,

    First post – been using WP for several years.

    After upgrading from 2.6 -> 2.7.1 I am unable to edit posts or pages and I can’t access the Askimet configuration page or the WP Security Scan config page. I also can not navigate through the admin pages for posts or pages. That is I can get a list of first page posts/pages in admin panel, but clicking page 2-N does not change the page/post list.

    I can use the quick edit feature.

    I have tried deactivating all plugins which also hasn’t worked. My plugins:
    Askimet
    Fold Page List
    Google XML Sitemaps
    WP Security Scan

    The site is displaying fine and so far the only issues are those listed above.

    I would appreciate any ideas for further troubleshooting.

    Thanks.

  • Have you tried switching to the default theme?

    Thanks, esmi, for replying. I hadn’t tried that, but after your suggestion I attempted to change themes and that isn’t working either.

    I have also discovered that I can not edit anything except the initially loaded file in the “appearance/editor” area. That is I can’t even navigate to the other files e.g., 404 template, archives, etc.

    What I can do:

    – activate/deactivate plugins
    – use the “quick edit” feature
    – change permalinks and other “settings”

    Any other suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

    Try re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders.

    OK, I deactivated the plugins, deleted the wp-admin, wp-includes directories and reuploaded from the clean WP 2.7.1 download.

    Everything appears to work/not-work the same.

    Can you provide other recommendations? Thanks again.

    esmi, I was able to change the theme in phpMyAdmin. I attempted both “classic” and “default” neither of which changed the situation.

    Anything else I should try?

    I resolved the issue. And it isn’t one most folks will likely run into – Basically I had some htaccess code to rewrite query strings that was there to handle a platform migration.

    That code
    # remove ALL query strings
    #RewriteCond %{query_string} .
    #rewriterule (.*) https://mysite.com/$1? [R=301,L]

    This code did not conflict with WP 2.6, but does with 2.7.1

    Thanks again for your help, esmi.

    I am having a problem that I think is the same as described by daseme, but I do not understand anything that daseme is writing about in regards to the fix. Is there anybody who can tell me what to do to fix this problem?
