    this is how i fixed it…

    I saved a permissions.cgi file to my WP root directory and with file permissions of 700. Ran it in my broswer and it now works.

    #!/bin/bash
    echo "Content-type: text/html"
    echo
    find . -type d ! -perm 1710 -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 710
    find . -type f -regextype posix-extended -regex '.*\.(php|pl|cgi)$' -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 700
    echo "<table border='1'><tr><th>Type</th><th>Name</th><th>User, Group</th><th>Permissions</th></tr>"
    find . -type d -printf '<tr><td>Folder</td><td>%p</td><td>%u, %g</td><td>%M</td></tr>'
    find . -type f -printf '<tr><td>File</td><td>%p</td><td>%u, %g</td><td>%M</td></tr>'
    echo "</table>"

    My site’s still up, but the header’s all wonky now. Any ideas? Thanks!

    have you tried:

    -deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to narrow down and possibly fix the problem . If the problem goes away, activate them individually to find the culprit?

    If you don’t have access to your admin area, try deactivating them manually via FTP or phpMyAdmin

    Hi t-p. Thanks for the idea. That didn’t seem to do anything, though. Although now I notice that all my fonts and such have gone back to the default. Looks like I need to re-edit my CSS stuff.

    try:

    -switching to the default theme (Twenty Ten) for a moment by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes. The idea is to force WordPress to fall back to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific issue.

    If you don’t have access to your admin area, then access your server via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    I already use the default theme.

    Try:

    While keeping ALL plugins deactivated, Download WordPress again and replace your copies of everything EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies. This should replace your core files without changing your content and settings in wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory.

    Note that some uploaders may not overwrite files reliably, so delete the original files before replacing them.

    my hosting site (host gator) doesn’t support to the new update. Is there any way to downgrade? my clients whole site is all messed up. ??

    I dont see how deactivating plugins would help. i did a brand new install and the update still b0rked up. (in my case at least)

    You could have had a corrupt file or an interrupted install. Still trying to figure out exactly what your shell script did… ??
