Thanks WordPress…upgrade borked

    So I tried to upgrade to 3.0.4 per the advisory.

    I used the automatic WordPress upgrade. And my thanks? A white screen of death in the wp-admin. The site itself is running fine, and I have found it to not be plug-in related.

    I did this through the WordPress routine and I still got screwed over.

    So any help on fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

  • Try:
    – switching to the Twenty Ten theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    – re-running the upgrade manually using /wp-admin/upgrade.php.

    Okay, here’s the weird thing: I can navigate to update-core.php, and from there, I can go to other things in the dashboard, but when I try to login via /wp-admin, it’s a friggin’ white screen.

    I tried to redo the update-core and then it yelled about something to do with an unclonable object.

    So now I’m completely screwed out of my site?

    Are you using wordpress from a directory if so than check the index.php file that is your root may have over written
    require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);

    it should have folder name example
    require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);

    No, nothing like that. All I did was an upgrade through the panel. Nothing changed. And now I have to shut the site down. Thanks WordPress.

    I just updated and did not have problem have you tried what Esmi Suggested.

    None of the things he suggested worked.

    All I did was upgrade, THROUGH WordPress, and I’m now without a site.

    She! She! ??

    Try re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress 3.0.4.

    I did just that now. And STILL a white screen. Funny thing is I can access SOME things, like the plugins, but when I go to edit a page, or go to the dashboard itself, it’s white screen city.

    Try adding define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false ); to the bottom of your wp-config.php file (just before the require_once line).

    No go. It looks like it’s thinking about it, and then it craps out to a white screen.

    Well, I HAVE to have this site up. It looks like I have no choice but to stay on 2.9.

    do you have twenty ten theme in your themes folder as when you rename your theme it should open twenty ten theme.

    It looks like I have no choice but to stay on 2.9.

    You upgraded from 2.9 to 3.0.4?

    Just do a manual upgrade of your site via FTP. This usually fixes a failed automatic upgrade:
