Auto upgraded to 2.8.4 – now I have no admin page

Rename the plugins folder and try accessing /wp-admin again.

In most cases this solves the problem. In the past the index.php in the plugins folder has been know to interference with upgrades.

dumb question – if i rename the folder, then how do i redirect WP to look in this folder for the files?

Set up an empty plugins folder – works without it as well. The folder doesnt have anything in that wordpress requires to run, unless ofcourse the plugins are active.

If its not there when it looks it simply deactivate the plugins and makes no further calls to the folder until its directed to do so.

ok, i think it’s working. but i still get this error message below. not sure if it is related to the same issue or if it is something related to the template.

and/or get a different theme.

I had the same problem but the plugins folder trick didn’t work

The problem appears to be in auth_redirect, if I put in a comment in admin.php it shows up until after auth_redirect. The page is still blank but adding ?>Hello<? to a line before auth_redirect shows it on the page, and after – it’s gone.

@ davert
delete the .htaccess in wordpress root
test site
regenerate permalinks
admin – settings – permalinks

@samboll – tried, failed.

… the actual site still works but it’s nice to be able to approve comments and such.

Found the problem:

1) Set define(‘WP_CACHE in wp-config to false
2) Delete extra space at the end of wp-config

I have NO idea why this worked.
