Upgraded to 2.7 – Blank Page

It could be sloppy programming or something, but a friend over MSN gave me a hint:
“it is saying it is there but does not understand the function”

I then remembered something back when I heavily programmed in PHP one function: “include (“xxxxxxx.xxxx”);”

I edited cron.php and added:
include("http.php");

This was added right below “<?php”.

Apparently, it seems that WordPress was calling for a function that does not exist. The file “cron.php” was asking for a function from another file, but that other file has not been loaded, or included.

Hopefully, version 2.7.1 will be released to fix this.

Now that the website is back up and running, I have no posts… >_>;

I had the same problem and i solved it this way, first I had to overwrite the whole diectory wp-includes TWICE and after that all files in the root directory and then voila′. I belive this must be a bug – or?

Lillian, can you please be a little bit more specific with your explanation. Sorry, but I don’t get it. If it worked, can you show me please?

I just upgraded and got the same error. Using Filezilla:
Had deleted the includes. Uploaded. Again as overwrite. Changed that line in cron.php. changed all the files in root.

Now getting an error in compat.php but refers to wp-settings on line 207

I did a download of my entire public_html directory. Revert and wait for a new version or am I getting close?

Made a mistake or two.
I had uploaded includes to a subdirectory which caused that other error.

I also had edited wp-cron in the root with what was in that other post. The real file to update is cron.php in the includes directory.

My admin page login just gave me:
Database Upgrade Required

“Your WordPress database is out-of-date, and must be upgraded before you can continue.”

Will post back if things go bad.

Hi all,
I had the same problem, blank page, so I modified the cron.php file by placing include(“http.php”); as suggested by octoberasian.
No luck, I recieved a Fatal error about declaring the http class twice.

After removing this line and uploading cron.php one more time, I had to correct the image urls in my posts but now everything is viewable.

Hopefully this helps.

Like the above I have the same problem
I have one slightly different modification which is I am using multiblog which I upgraded before the upgrade to WP2.7, either way get blank screen. I can access my admin files by doing https://www.xxx.yyy/wp-admin/ but makes no difference.

I have tried everything listed to no avail.

Like other I await 2.7.1 urgently

You have to upload the new files from the wordpress root folder as well (index.php, wp-app.php and etc.), taking care not to delete or overwrite wp-config.php (which is quite unlikely).

Solution….

I had the same problem. I had to FTP into my plug-in directory and rename WP-Sticky folder.

It worked perfectly.

I’ve had the same issue, and now I’ve managed to fix it, don’t know what else is wrong though, it all seems to be working.

Ok guys, here’s a fix I used.

EDIT cron.php

Find
<?php

Add After;
if(!function_exists(“wp_remote_post”)){
require(“http.php”);
}

Save (Cron is fixed)

EDIT update.php

Find
<?php

Add After;
if(!function_exists(“wp_remote_post”)){
require(“http.php”);
}

This has fixed it for me.

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/225345?replies=3#post-930668 this solution works better for me. Follow dreiecon first but that won’t work for rss and so on.
Thanks.

Everyone, I’m back running again and basically uploaded a fresh (after several of the night builds) and also ensured I copied ALL the files into the root directory, and it worked a dream.

I had this message also. To fix the problem I uploaded the PHP files in the root wordpress directory, being careful not to effect wp-config.php.
