Glad i was of help.

being as I cant get to the dashboard and nothing has been changed from before the upgrade I am just going to do a backup of the DB from the phpMyadmin in my fatcow control panel.
again thanks and I will see if this helps any

no images just the tables and information from the connections plugin. other than that all information is recoverable.

Esmi I thank you for all your help this afternoon I am going to do the fresh install route tomorrow and rebuild piece by piece until everything is back up.
any other thoughts before I do that in the AM

the only problem I have with that is there is information from a plugin I use in the old database that is used for a directory used on the site.
that issue aside could I export the needed data from a local backup of the database and import it to the new database and just do a fresh install for everything?

I was thinking fresh install with the old database. but the main issue is I cannot get in to the dashboard of the site. the site was setup with 2.9 and the upgrade to 2.9.1 was an adventure and a half with all the stuff not working.

im pulling the information from here

you need to give wordpress more memory alottment from 32mb to 64mb in you settings.php file in the first few lines after the comments at the top.

on that web site I linked to look for the section that talks about the settings.php file and follow his instructions for modifucation

as esmi stated copy his code snipit. then open your style.css file and scroll to the bottom at the end past that code. save and upload to the server(if you edited locally, unless you edited straight on the server.

now the site is just showing a white page.
hum this is not good. wonder if something borked bad when I had all the upgrade problems.
I do not have an export of the post and pages but I do have backups of my database. how hard would it be to rebuild the install from scratch?

same issues still not showing the admin login screen

adding the class just gives you a hook to style you need to edit the style.css file to change the font size on that div class

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

that is the only thing in the .htaccess

esmi
deleting the .htaccess throws a 500 error and how can I try the change on the permalinks with out access to the wp-admin area?

also what mySQL versions are in use

I am having the same issue and am willing to do beta testing for newer versions if you need the help. I am just starting the trouble shooting of this problem myself.
on my local testers this plugin worked, and on one of my live sites it works as well, but the site I need it to work on it is not. will inform if anything new develops

you should be just useing something like this https://www.somedomain.com/wp-admin/install.php
