Write>Post screen is blank (i.e. no form fields etc)

    After WP2.5 upgrade. (The Write>Page and Write>Links display the form fields as expected)

    I already upgraded to 2.5 on my laptop test version (running xampplite), same blog, no problem.

    I checked the post-new.php files of the two separately downloaded WP 2.5 packages, and the code is identical.

    My guess is that the problem might be with the post.php file in the Includes folder. When I uploaded my upgrade files to my web host via FileZilla, I got a Target File/Source File same box, to which I (probably stupidly!) responded ‘Overwrite’, as the target file appeared to be empty.

    If I just go the route of deleting all my files from my webhost, and re-uploading WP2.5 again, presumably I’ll still have lost that overwritten page.php file?

    Updating this post –
    I checked the entire folders/files list on my web server File Mgr as matching with all those on my laptop-hosted test blog, the WP2.5 download for that test blog, and the WP 2.5 download that I uploaded onto my web host. No files missing, everything in the correct folder.

    Can anybody suggest the type of problem I’m looking for? Again, the only functional problem after installation is that when selecting Write from the dashboard, the ‘Post’ screen is simply blank white …no title bar, no content box, no Text Editor, no publishing/save option etc.

    I am also having this issue. Please help us to track down this issue.

    Gusford, I solved mine by reinstalling. I deleted all files from my web server via my File Manager (control panel) except wp-config.php and .htaccess. Using FTP (FileZilla) I uploaded the WP2.5 download that I’d used to upgrade my laptop-hosted test blog, which was problem-free.

    I regained the Write Post template screen, but it appeared worse – my site itself was now a blank screen (not even an error message), though I’d . Thankfully I cured it by changing the theme to Classic (which worked), then changing it back again to Default.

    For this reinstall, I used only the standard WP Contents folder, i.e. just the Akismet and Hello Dolly plug-ins. Subsequently I uploaded my own theme files (Revolution), and the site is fine and the Write Posts/Pages display normally.

    During this upload I got one ‘Target File Already Exists’ dialog box (for wp-admin/includes/class-ftp-pure.php), and I responded with a ‘resume’ rather than overwrite.

    (Possibly coincidentally, during the upload yesterday FileZilla had shown ‘not connected to server’ at one point, but as the transfer continued successfully and everything appeared on the web server, I thought I was ok. Today the same problem occurred at the same point during WP-Includes, so this time I waited until the end, then deleted that folder and re-uploaded separately).
