3.6 affected my connection??

  • I just upgraded to 3.6. Everything was working OK before the change.
    Now, I get a red error box on most if not all pages, saying that the connection is lost. It says that autosave will preserve my changes.
    However, I can make changes on the general settings page, and that updates correctly.
    I do not believe that my connection is “lost”, I think something happened in 3.6 to affect page updates.
    Can anyone help?

  • I am having the same problem.

    Though mine didn’t occur until after today’s JetPack update BUT still happens after deactivating ALL plugins. It’s very odd.

    HI Firemom:
    I upgraded today, so we probably have the same versions – same builds
    The Aug 1, 2013 comment for version 3.6 says that it has a “bullet-proof autosave.” Looks to me like it shoots bullets at your pages.

    There have to be a lot of people in this pickle. I hope there is a fix. As it is, I cannot modify any pages, I assume the same for you.

    Do you have access to your servers log files? There might be some useful clues there about what is failing and why.

    Also have you tried re-running the update?

    I went into cpanel, and extracted the raw access files. It is long with a lot of entries. I do not know how to decipher it.
    I haven’t tried re-running the upgrade, I will try that shortly.
    Are you saying that this is not a bug in 3.6, but possibly a corrupted install?

    Possibly. Servers and networks can add all sorts of interesting variables to troubleshooting!

    As for the server logs – maybe grab a couple of the latest entries, run a Google search using them as your search terms and see what you can find out.

    @inventorgeorge – where is your site hosted?

    I use Hostgator.

    I have the same problem.

    OK, so I am not the only one – probably many with this problem.
    Is anyone working to resolve the issue?

    probably many with this problem.

    I haven’t seen other threads with this problem, so no, I don’t think it’s a “bug” in WP3.6.

    Have you tried all of the troubleshooting steps in this thread?

    Yes, I have done everything suggested.
    Again, I must emphasize that everything was working until I upgraded to 3.6. Now I cannot modify any page but I am “connected,” unlike what the error message is saying.

    I may have found something. I went to disable all plugins, and got another error message – “WP Super Cache is disabled. Please go to the plugin admin page to enable caching.“

    So I followed the link provided.
    That got me to this notice –

    “.htaccess file may need to be moved
    It appears you have WordPress installed in a sub directory as described here. Unfortunately WordPress writes to the .htaccess in the install directory, not where your site is served from.
    When you update the rewrite rules in this plugin you will have to copy the file to where your site is hosted. This will be fixed in the future.

    I am not sure what this means, BUT, I installed WP in a subfolder of my site. WP is only part of the site, so I want it separated in its own folder.

    This worked fine up until 3.6.
    I guess my next question is – how do I backtrack to the previous version, if 3.6 handles something differently?

    I installed WP in a subfolder of my site.

    That should not be an issue. Did you move the site after you installed it?

    No. I have done nothing different since it worked, except upgrade.
    All links appear to work, I can call the WP portion of my site from elsewhere, it is there and working. The only problem is, I can’t modify it.

    Try:
    – switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    – running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php

    It will take me a while to figure out exactly what you are suggesting.
    First, I will download the complete WP folder so if I screw it up, I can just upload what I have right now.

    Before doing that, I just checked. I am using the theme Alexandria. I have version 1.04, and the latest is 1.10. to upgrade that, it warns that I will lose all customization. That sounds like a lot pf possible work to recover to where I am.
    Is there any way to find out if Alexandria 1.04 has a problem running with 3.6? If the problem is there, at least I will know what I face.
