PS: when turning the plugins back on one by one, I found the culprit: Photopress. Turning it back re-created the problem, while shutting it down fixed it again. FYI.

Thanks everyone! Problem solved. I turned off all plugins, then changed the Permalinks setting to post name, saved, then back to default and saved again. Immediately after the blog was back to normal. I guess the problem is with plugins, rather than the update to 5.4 itself? Anyway, thanks!

Thanks for the advice, all who wrote. It turns out the old theme wasn’t compatible with WP 2.0, so a simple change of themes solved the problem. I appreciate the leads.

I looked at the page you suggested, but am not sure what to do with what I found there. Do I copy a link template tag and paste it over the one used in my blog?
