It would appear your CSS file (style.css) is missing or corrupted or something.

Try just saving your settings (even if you make no change). That may fix it.

Not a php/mysql issue. I have another WordPress site and it upgraded to 2.8 just fine, but it only uses two plugins. Those same two plugins on my other site break the dash. I’ve re-uploaded them. I’ve done everything. It doesn’t matter.

I deleted the wp-includes folder prior to upload as it states in the guide and FileZilla reports no failures.

It’s not Nextgen. I have two sites that I upgraded to 2.8 on that I use this plugin with. One site, which is basically just Nextgen does fine. Another one of mine, uses more plugins, but any of the plugins including Nextgen and Akismet kill the dashboard. I’ve tried reinstalling WordPress multiple times, renaming the plugins folder prior to upgrade. Nothing works. It’s just completely screwed. Dash only works when I disable all the plugins.

I’m sad to say this was just a bad WordPress release. Clearly wasn’t properly tested given the frequency of this bug.

I have this same problem. Admin panel is completely broken. I deactivated all the plugins before the upgrade too. I’ve done this several times. Doesn’t work.

I renamed my plugins folder to “plugins_temp” during one update and it got the two default plugins to work without breaking the dash, but any other plugins I add and WordPress’s dash craps out; even plugins that are 2.8 compatible. I don’t know what to do. Prior to doing the rename, even default plugins like Akismet would break the dash.

Well there has to be an answer here? Right?

That did it. I was unaware of there being a different time thing for that.

Thanks
