Having the same problem. Login page just keeps refreshing, no redirect to Admin. Using Firefox 3.0.1. Logged out, deleted all the plugins via ftp, created new password in mysql admin, cleared cookies and private data, closed browser and reopened. Nothing is working. Next will try deleting everything and starting with a fresh installation, not an upgrade.

I’m having the same problems using both the automatic and manual process.

Joining in on the thread a bit late…I’m having the same trouble on my WP website when trying to work in Admin. Saving posts, managing comments, deleting spam all result in this error. I’m not familiar with the intimate workings of MySQL, but I do know how to login to MySQL and backup my database, so if someone could point me in the right direction on how to execute this fix, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m pretty sure it’s the time out issue as mentioned by openadvent, and I just need to understand how to find the things that need modification.

Thanks MichaelH. I did delete the appropriate files before beginning the upgrade (trying to avoid problems). I will start over and try again.

Sorry, running on PHP 5.

In an upgrade to a live site, I’ve tried applying the patch by hand and uploading the changed file, but the WYSIWYG editor still does not display.

In a fresh installation for a new blog, I did not have to apply the patch. The WYSIWYG editor worked out of the starting gate.

only one installation of WP, problem just started

Jackosh, very slick how you hid the login. I decided to just comment out most of the Meta stuff and retain the RSS links. Thanks for the tip!

Samboll, thanks for taking a look and for catching the dangling valid xhtml link. I had meant to take it out and forgot.

Update and thanks: I did finally manage to get a full RSS feed from the wordpress.com site. I had to switch themes in order for it to work (used Simpla temporarily). The RSS import into the new site worked great. I did have to manually recreate the comments in the new location, but it wasn’t too bad. At least there were only a few!

Thanks for the tips.

No, no access to that kind of stuff.

Boy, based on your description, manually recreating every post in the new location is looking more attractive all the time! ha ha ha

Yeah, I saw that mentioned. I’ve been trying the RSS feed option, but for some reason I can’t get more than 10 posts on my feed, even though my options are set for 66 (the total # of posts on my blog).

Oh! Thank you! Man, I was searching all over the place at 1 am and could not find the right article. Thanks a bunch!
