Auto upgrade from 2.86 to 2.9 didn’t work

  • Hi there,

    I just did an auto-upgrade from 2.86 to 2.9.
    All worked fine but now all i get is a blank screen, can’t log into admin…etc.
    I tried to roll back and my external hard drive just broke down. Sure it has nothing to do with the new wordpress upgrade but i desperately need some friendly help here.

    Cheers

    Rajesh, this is an option

      before

    you upgrade.
    As you can read most people use the auto upgrade and then their WP gives a blank screen.

    I upgraded to WordPress 2.9 by uploading the WordPress files via FTP and I haven’t got any problem.
    I used the automatic updater tool from the WordPress admin page only once, and I saw that it backs up the current installation files and then install the new files.
    After that time I had some glitches, not major problems, going on, so I backed up my posts, I deleted all the WordPress files from my server, recreated the database for WordPress and uploaded via FTP the WordPress files.
    I use PHP 4.3.11 with MySQL 5.
    Since then I never used the automatic updater any more, and so far every time I upload the newer WordPress files via FTP, my blog works.

    It updated fine for me but broke my admin.
    many updates and plugins do not work. can not add new plugins.
    attempted all contact form plugins. Now I can not access my admin at

    I must agree with @imack03
    I have not had these kind of problems with a wordpress update

    Ok I have reloaded 2.9 cleared all cache re entered the admin Still having problems with my Plug-ins, so I disabled all then re-enabled. Working fine sorry for the frustrations. there WordPress is still my Drug of choice.

    I had the same problem with the upgrade to 2.9. After the automatic upgrade, I could not add new posts or edit existing ones. (The input text field for entering/editing blog text disappeared.)

    After reading SpankedNutz’s post about the Twitter plugin (TwitterTools, which I was using), I removed the plugin and now everything works fine.

    I upgraded to 2.9 and now my site has reverted back to a version in January, which means many of my posts are missing and, I have also lost a lot of work I did on several pages.
