I went in and deleted tables in wp_options from plugins I no longer had in my plug ins folder.

I then had to change file permissions for cron/admin etc

Now I can access control panel.

I may start from the beginning soon as I’m not comfortable I did everything properly… Who knows if I did any damage in the database tables

Know idea– looks like the issue was a conflict with a plug in and/or database updating during the attempted upgrade.

I would say I’m staying away from auto upgrade and potentially NGG Gallery plugin (though I have no info so far as to whether this was the culprit)

Sorry folks.

This was insane.

I think there might be an issue with the htaccess file too…
note that I have my wordpress in root/wordpress

i’m tempted to restore the database to last backup at this point.
If a fresh/clean upgrade didnt work, I’m not sure I understand.

Heres a thought:
within the SQL database i see this:
Edit Delete 48 0 template defusion yes
Edit Delete 49 0 stylesheet defusion yes

Maybe i’m having a template conflict with the upgrade? If so, how do i get the template to change back to standard without access to admin panel? Change variable in the database here? To what exactly? default?

ignore that error- i had to re-tweak my settings for directory location…

but now I am still bringing up blank and 404

I did the mentioned above– also did as mentioned in codex:

Use phpMyAdmin

* In the table wp_options, under the option_name column (field) find the active_plugins row
* Change the option_value field to: a:0:{}

to disable plugins.

I now get this message:

Warning: require(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/jgeiss/public_html/index.php on line 17

Warning: require(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/jgeiss/public_html/index.php on line 17

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/jgeiss/public_html/index.php on line 17

which sounds like an upload problem? Tried reuploading no luck.

Ideas?

in newbie arena- ive run into this ‘problem’ with login. Some templates dont show admin meta and this option can be turned on in the ‘widgets’ admin area for you to access. I usually pull up the page and bookmark the login page for easy access vs accessing page and clicking ‘login’
under ‘meta’ sidebar

By default- your domain plus the login link is where the login is located–
so https://www.yourdomain.com/wp-login.php

or if its under a directory within the root domain.com/#/wp-login.php

not sure if this is what you refer to– but sounds like what I ran to when i was new to all of this…

samboll- thanks for your input, I will try your mentioned tasks…Apologies for the rant– I was frustrated. Not meant to be directed towards anyone… Your comment about 2.7 and security etc helps. Appreciated.

I tried grymoire technique and no luck.
Also tried cookies/cache/backup files
Still cant access admin.

Same boat as modelcitizen.

I tried renaming plugin folder and also tried deleting plugins suspected of being trouble. Tried restoring all files back to previous backup… Nothing.

https://j-geissler.com/wordpress/wp-login.php
says ‘not found’– on the server the file is there. so…??

FRUSTRATING!

Help!
