3.8 broke all my plugins.

    I upgraded to 3.8 on a clients wordpress-site and now NONE of the plugins work anymore. Needless to say, the site is completely useless.

    I tried to downgrade back to 3.7.1 (and even 3.7), thinking they would work again since it did before I upgrade, but to my surprise they still don’t work.

    When I try to activate a plugin all I get is a blank screen. I have to click the backarrow in the browser and it looks like it’s activated, but going to the site all I get is a blank screen again. Backarrowing again I’m able to de-activate the plugin and the site loads again, but without any of the plugins running.

    This is quite stressful since it’s not my site and I can’t get it work properly again. I don’t know what to do… at all.

    Be aware that the database was changed in WordPress 3.8, so you would also need to restore an appropriate database backup.

    So my best bet is to delete everything and make a new fresh installation of the whole thing?

    Did this not happen to anyone during the beta-stages at all? Did it work for everyone else without any plugin-problems? I’m confused that it is such a big difference between 3.7 and 3.8 that all plugins stopped working.

    I did a fresh installation of WordPress and everything worked fine until I changed the language to Swedish and that’s when it goes wrong. So something is not quite working as it’s intended to with the swedish localization.

    Yes, and that helps me… how?

    Ok, a clean reinstallation (delete everything database included) and NOT install the Swedish-version is the way to go. So I guess this is resolved… sort of.
