NEED HELP! 2.8 Upgrade with PHP Fatal Error

temporarily rename your plugins folder
log in
rename it correctly and re-activate plugins

thanks, samboll.

I have tried this by following the steps in this process but once i get to log back in, it still gives me the same error.

Please help.

Thanks!

delete the wp-admin folder via ftp then
upload a fresh one

im not a techie person, but if i delete the whole wp-admin folder, how do i upload a fresh one?

thanks again! i really appreciate all the help

click on the download link at top of this page
save zip file
unzip files/folders
upload wp-admin via ftp (fast) or host file manager (slowwwww)

just to sum up:

1) delete current wp-admin folder
2) download 2.8
3) copy downloaded/new wp-admin folder from unzipped files and paste into same location where old wp-admin was

am i getting this correct?

are all our blogs and themes/blog design safe in this process?

thanks so much samboll

thanks for the reply whooami, but it still gave me this error:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function _cleanup_header_comment() in C:\websites\vistabella\blog\wp-admin\includes\plugin.php on line 89

please help?

??

anyone? help? ??

you need to delete what is is inside wp-includes/

then upload the fresh 2.8 files.

Note I said wp-includes/ — NOT — wp-admin/includes

as was suggested before.
