Hi Ron,

I am not 100% of what you are asking, so I took a guess and a couple of screenshots. Using Chrome, I looked at my main site and the one old demo site that I upgraded to 3.8 and (I think!) used the inspector (on a Mac – option/command/i) and clicked on the Console tab. Here’s what I saw:

My main site (WP 3.7.1):
https://screencast.com/t/R92w3gMB6

Old demo site (WP 3.8):
https://screencast.com/t/wDeehI04S

Is this what you are talking about? If it is, where do I go to fix it and what is the correct code?

thanks!

I checking back in.

I am also hoping for an update. My solution for my demo sites was to literally abandon the old ones and create new ones, but that does not help me with my own site.

I am very concerned with using Simple Sidebars for my clients’ sites; to have it cease to work as their hosting & PHP get upgraded is a big worry.

I hope the devs find a solution soon.

thanks!

Hi Andrea,

I did try turning off all plugins, then activating simple sidebars and it still won’t work. I’m in agreement with jdjenkins – I think there’s a problem with PHP 5.4.

I’m back. I installed a new demo site with just the Simple Sidebars plugin and everything is working now. That is good, but does this mean that I have to reinstall my demo sites and most importantly, my main site??? That is very frustrating.

Hi there,

When I created the test sidebar yesterday, that is indeed what I saw, only when I saved it, the description disappeared and when I went to Widgets, the simple sidebars were just inaccessible lines (in 3.8)

I have had my site and my four demo sites running for a long time. Everything was using WP 3.7.1 when they were moved to the new host.

I just deactivated all the plugins but simple sidebars in one of the 3.7.1 sites – no joy.
Same thing for the one site that is running 3.8.

My next plan is to install a brand new site and see what happens… more later

A bit more info: I saw that you asked someone if they had given descriptions to their sidebars. On the 3.8 demo site, I added in a new test sidebar and gave it a description. The sidebar was saved, but not the description and I still can’t access it in Widgets. I don’t know if this helps at all, but I thought I would let you know.

Thanks!

Oh never mind, the warning went away and it is working now. ??

Thank you for replying esmi!

Indeed, I see the .maintenance file, but here’s more info:

Looking at the WP files via my FTP I can see that there are files that did not change:
In the wp-admin folder there is a folder called maint. Its date is 3/7/10 (the date of the last upgrade), although its lone file, repair.php has today’s date.

There is a gallery folder in the wp-content folder that has the 3/7/10 date. It contains images that were once used for the home page.

In wp-content/upgrade there is a wordpress-3.tmp folder that contains an install of all the 3.0 files dated today. Poking around other sites I have done, I don’t see that folder in any of them.

In wp-includes/js there is a folder called imagreselect that is dated 3/7/10, although its files are dated today.

And finally the xmlrpc.php file in the root is dated 3/7/10.

Should I do the “attempt the upgrade again now” link, or should I just upload the 3.0 versions of those files that didn’t upgrade via my FTP?

thank you!

More info:

It has seemed to resolve itself, but now there is a nag that says:

An automated WordPress update has failed to complete – please attempt the update again now.

Dare I do that?

thanks!

Indeed they are! I went off and had supper- came back and viola! Happy permalinks!

A lot of clients use Godaddy; this is one less thing to worry about.

thank you!

Suzy

Whoa! That’s a new one for me.

I just changed the permalink structure. Now it’s time to feed the cats and start supper, so this Grasshopper will acquire some patience!

thank you!

Suzy

Ah…. I fixed it. Never mind. ??

Thank you jbrndt and jami1955!

I have been having this problem and your solution worked.

thanks!

Bless you skippy! That was it!
