Yes, have done. Thanks again, govpatel!

Govpatel, first of all, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your assistance. Greatly appreciated!

No blank spaces before:

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //

Made the edits you suggested to the wp-config.php file. These are the errors I got:

Notice: Constant ABSPATH already defined in /home2/XXXXXXX/public_html/XXXXXXX.com/wp-config.php on line 23

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home2/XXXXXXX/public_html/XXXXXXX.com/wp-admin/includes/comment.php on line 129

I checked line 129 in that file, and the comment.php file is cut off there. I downloaded the comment.php file from my other blog (the one that’s working), and there is definitely more code after that line 129.

[So presumably the comment.php file got corrupted while I was FTPing it???]

I copied the working comment.php file (from the first blog) to the second blog, and I was then able to update the WordPress database.

However, I was still getting the first (error?) message:

Notice: Constant ABSPATH already defined in /home2/XXXXXXX/public_html/XXXXXXX.com/wp-config.php on line 23

Next, I again removed the error_reporting and WP_DEBUG lines from the code in the wp-config.php file (those lines govpatel gave 2 postings above), so now the above message is no longer showing up.

I have no idea if there is still an error there or not, regarding the “Constant ABSPATH already defined” message… but so far, everything seems to be working fine.

Once again, THANK YOU for your help!! ??

I would have had NO CLUE where to being looking for this error, so that debug code for the wp-config.php file is hugely appreciated!

Thanks, I’ll try that when I get back later tonight.

Thanks for the response, govpatel.

Did you deactivate plugins and change default theme

No, I did not. The plugins and theme are exactly the same as for the first blog (which worked fine). For the theme, I had my own customized theme, so I figured that there was no other theme(s) in the upgrade that could overwrite any of my theme files.

Anyways, I cannot get into WordPress to deactivate them now…
