Problem after 3.1 upgrade

    I did an automatic upgrade to 3.1 after backing up my databases and now the pages are not loading. I can get into the admin panels and I deactivated all plugins. When I go to https://www.domain name.com/wp-admin the admin page comes up without a problem. I reloaded PHP but that didn’t help. The pages are intact as far as editing them, but do not display. Does 3.1 require something else that the previous version didn’t? I had not downloaded 3.0.5 and had planned to do so when I saw 3.1 was available. I updated the theme I am using thinking the upgrade required the newest version of the theme.

    This upgrade killed my website too!

    https://hydeparkmainstreets.com

    I was using Simple Indy (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/themes/simple-indy). I don’t remember the version of WP I was using before, but it was probably two or three versions back. The site had a lot of plugins. It was built by someone else and I’m the new guy on the project supposed to upgrade the version of WP, switch themes, and do some other mods.

    I knew something was wrong when the upgrade took more than 30 seconds. It never got past “unpacking update”. Now, the website says its down for maintenance, and I cannot reach the admin pages, all I get is this message:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_network_admin() in /home/hydepark/public_html/wp-admin/admin-header.php on line 16

    I have no idea what the heck that means.

    Any ideas and help appreciated–I am getting paid to make this site work and I’m in a bit over my head at the moment. I’ve done this a few times before and it’s usually so easy!

    I’m really affraid to delete the wrong thing or screw it up where it’s not possible to fix. I’m not real experienced with doing the manual updates. Does anyone have time to help?

    Okay,
    So I downloaded and unzipped the new wordpress 3.1 and FTP’d in the new wp-admin and wp-includes folders.

    Not seeing a change yet. Any ideas?

    I see that https://www.hydeparkmainstreets.com/ is back up and running. How did you fix it?

    SwapTribe,

    Thanks for the feedback–I noticed that too. The pages seem to work, some issues with formatting, and the URLs are a mess. But it’s more or less up… and I didn’t do anything to fix it. I just can’t navigate in the admin. always the same fatal error message as above.

    So I’m still up the creek… Do I have to reinstall and start again? I have a back up of the site and it’s not huge anyway. And like I said, I was going to switch themes to a Woo Theme.

    Thanks
    Rob

    Guys,
    I really need help. The error I got:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class wpdb in /home/befit4fr/public_html/hcg/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 52

    Was not fixed when I loaded up the new wp-db.php file or when I FTP’d the new wp-admin and wp-includes files.

    I really don’t know what to do. Any help?

    Has anyone ended up with a blank site (white page) when they tried to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 ????

    Here’s the source code on my home page:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN”>
    <HTML><HEAD>
    <META content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″ http-equiv=Content-Type>
    <SCRIPT id=AlexaCustomScriptId></SCRIPT>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY></BODY></HTML>

    And here’s the source code on the /wp-admin page:

    <b>Fatal error</b>: Cannot redeclare class wpdb in <b>/home/befit4fr/public_html/hcg/wp-includes/wp-db.php</b> on line <b>52</b>

    ANY help would be awesome.

    WordPress 3.1 upgrade caused FATAL ERROR. If you know how to fix this, please let me know. I’m stuck and can’t get my site to work.

    (@swaptribe)

    /wp-includes/class-simplepie.php
    will NOT update. All the rest of the files are updating using Filezilla. Does anyone know how to bring my site back to a working state (where it was BEFORE the 3.1 wordpress upgrade) or how to manually upgrade wordpress to version 3.1 ?

    Like I said, I’ll pay someone via paypal if you can get this working tonight.

    1. get the latest 3.1 wordpress files and unzip them.
    2. Log into your FTP and delete the maintenance file
    You may need to show hidden files and folders in your FTP program if you can not see the maintenance file.
    Upload all the files and folders in the newly unzipped
    wordpress 3.1 folder to your site EXCEPT FOR
    the wp-content folder. DO NOT UPLOAD THAT ONE
    After you are all done, go to your site url, you may or may not have
    to install wp, if not login, If a database upgrade is necessary at this point, WordPress will detect it and give you a link to a URL
    perhaps this will help:

    Supposedly your wp-config.php file remians intact, but I always
    download mine first and save it to the HD just in case.
    And also, try the edit under your name instead of triple posting.

    If /wp-includes/class-simplepie.php will not update, then delete /wp-includes/class-simplepie.php from your server.

    Copy it back up from a FRESH downloaded copy of WordPress 3.1

    It won’t hurt any more than you’re at now.

    The manual upgrade is to delete (yeah you heard me right) everything EXCEPT

    /wp-content (the whole folder)
wp-config.php
.htaccess

    And copy the the rest of the files.

    Your themes and plugins are in wp-content, so AS LONG as you don’t kill that, you’re okay. Your settings are in .htaccess and wp-config.php.

    Always make a backup first, but have at. It gets easier the more often you do it.

    After upgrade, I can’t post/view (specially display) youtube embed video code, it just displays giant square with an ‘x’ this is using Internet Explorer, but if I use Safari I can see the video after it was posted. I have tried many of the Video plugins to see if any of them will work with IE but nothing has been shown… what to do??
