Unable to Upgrade to 2.8 – 404s – Lost ability to Login

  • Hello!

    I’m so excited to give 2.8 a try – but I can’t finish the upgrade! I removed my old files, uploaded the new, uploaded the wp-config.php – and that’s as far as I can get.

    Initially I uploaded my theme and my plugins, but ended up removing them when I started noticing the problem. Whether or not I have the plugins I get 404’s if I try to access any of items in the wp-admin/ folder, or the /wp-login.php. If I remove the theme my website turns into a blank page.

    Any ideas? I’m stuck.

    I’ve also tried renaming the plugins folder, editing the wp-settings file to change the memory settings from 32MB to 64MB, and removing the extra line of whitespace at the end of the wp-config.php file.

    Still no luck / no change.

    Tried to downgrade back to 2.71 and was still experiencing the same issues. I could see my content, but was getting 404’s on wp-admin/* and wp-login.php so I wasn’t able to change any admin settings or login and post any entries, etc.

    Gave it a couple of days to mull it over and figured it out. I was unzipping everything locally on my computer and uploading the unzipped files. I should’ve known better. Uploaded the zip file, unzipped on the server – everything works fine now ??
