3.1 Beta 2 upgrade, now I can't log in

try deactivating all plugins, and revert to the default twentyten theme. Does that solve it?

I cannot log in, so how can I deactivate anything?

Use FTP and rename all plugin directories, and ditto for themes.

ahh, are you using PHP4? Looks like someone else is having a similar issue.

I’m hosted by Godaddy.

Yes, PHP 4.x

https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/16080
has a fix for this issue.

I have looked at your link and modified the string it indicates.

Disregard

Now that I have edited that line, I get a second error on trying to log in:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’, expecting T_VARIABLE or ‘$’ in /home/content/w/h/e/wheat395/html/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 1479

check again. there are some files called class. as opposed to class- which might mean you’ve missed it.

Sorry, Rich, we’re out of sync here.

I found the correct file, and modified the correct string, and once I did that, i tried to log back in and I got a second error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/content/w/h/e/wheat395/html/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 1479

posted on the testers list, I’ll keep an eye out for updates for you.

Thank you. I’m a total newbie when it comes to .php code, so I do need help. And I have never used the bug tracking system here before, so thanks for posting for me.

Status:

The WordPress site runs and the outside world can see it, but I still cannot log in and perform any admin functions.

If you’re using GoDaddy, do yourself a favor and switch to PHP 5. It works way better and allows the automatic upgrade to work properly as well.
