I switched up to 2.8.2 – Problems! Plugins exploded and won’t let me reinstall

  • Hello Folks!
    I “upgraded” to 2.8.2 and, as soon as I had I couldn’t get into admin to edit or whatever. I called hostgator. For some reason they insisted I re-name my plugin folder to plugin.bak (whatever that means or signifies)

    So all my plugins sort of exploded. I went to upload replacements. It just doesn’t work!

    Should I go to my backup I did before “upgrading” to 2.8.2 since everything worked.

    Or should I stick with my new nightmare.

    PS: Is there someone I can “hire” to fix my WP blog? Is it a good idea?

  • they had you rename the plugins directory because that was the cause of the “i couldnt get into admin ..” problem.

    That action disabled all of your plugins.

    You now need to rename the directory back to plugins.

    THEN you can start activating your plugins, ONE BY ONE, until you determine which ones will and will not play nice with your freshly upgraded wordpress blog…

    and you dont need to hire anyone, unless you feel like theres alot to be done, and youre not up to the learning curve, or if something is majorly broke.
