As far as I can tell template-loader uses the constant TEMPLATEPATH to find the themes directory.

`} else if ( file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . “/index.php”) ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . “/index.php”);`

The only place I could find the definition of TEMPLATEPATH is in wp-settings.php, where I found this line:

define('TEMPLATEPATH', get_template_directory());

That function calls two other functions

`function get_template_directory() {
$template = get_template();
$template_dir = get_theme_root() . “/$template”;
return apply_filters(‘template_directory’, $template_dir, $template);
}`

Which look like this:

`function get_template() {
return apply_filters(‘template’, get_option(‘template’));
}`

function get_theme_root() {
	return apply_filters('theme_root', WP_CONTENT_DIR . "/themes");
}

wp-content/themes exists and has the theme in it (switched it to default just to be sure). From the fact that I can get my uploaded images to appear in the editing view I conclude that wordpress can find my WP_CONTENT_DIR
And that’s about where I give up…. Anyone?

I got to that point (admin access, no site) with the automatic upgrade. I can tell you that it’s not an htaccess issue in my case. Deleted it, edited by hand, no change whatsoever.
On top of it all my hosts’ pHpAdmin gives an error when restoring the database and I can’t get direct access to the SQL server because it keeps disconnecting me. I’m afraid I’m out of options now….

I just tried switching which version of PHP is used (tried both 4 and 5) by adding a line to the htaccess file. Didn’t work either.

I’ve got a similar problem I think, after upgrading to 2.8. I can get to the admin page, but none of the posts or pages on the blog will show up in the browser. Firefox says:

Redirect Loop

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

. Deleting .htaccess does not solve it. Any other suggestions would be very much appreciated.
