WordPress Upgrade

Published by at 8:27 pm under wordpress

I finally got the latest WordPress Upgrade(s) installed today (2.2.2) – it was way overdue, as Dane at BlogStrokes keeps reminding me.

I have a couple of little console hiccups, but nothing that should affect the site from operating.

Sorry if you visited earlier and the site was down. This is how it looked for a while, memories of yesterday!

I “think” everything is working ok, but if anyone notices something “not right” I would appreciate if you’d please drop me a line (meg care of this domain). Thanks!

    Were you able to sort out what happened with getting into your manage posts tab? I’m really curious to know what you discovered if you fixed it.

    I had suspected a plugin issue as I said in the comments on my blog, but I note that on one of my blogs I suddenly could not publish pages. I could still publish posts, but pages were saved as post drafts.

    Even with all plugins disabled this still occurred. Then for no reason I could discern, I was able to publish pages again.

    I’d like to hear what you found, hoping to shed more light on this.

    Hi Dane

    Not yet – I’ve had internet issues today!

    It’s odd – it depends where I hit the “manage” tab from. Sometimes I get a blank page & the options comeback when I refresh. Other times refreshing doesn’t help. The most I can get on my manage posts tab is down to the search box with “browse category…” written underneath. If I search or click on the archives it won’t load the page any more.

    Manage categories is broken too, but manage pages is fine.

    Hey Meg,

    email me a complete list of plugins you are using and I’ll do a 1.5.3 install and upgrade it to see if I can recreate this issue.

    2.1.3, sorry. 😉

    That’s very kind of you, thanks :)

    Hey,

    I just stumbled on this, and it’s something to look at.

    http://www.itmilk.com/2007/06/07/wordpress-ajax-problem-fixed-deleting-adding-categories/

    Essentially if you are at blogpond.com.au and the AJAX functions are trying to work with http://www.blogpond.au, things can go haywire.

    In dash board -> options -> general check what your “WordPress address (URL):” setting is. Make sure your address in your address bar matches this when you click into your manage tabs and see if the results are the same. Also is there any error message at all?

    Hi Dane

    WordPress URL and Blog URL under options general are both set for http://blogpond.com.au. When I click on manage the URL is http://blogpond.com.au/wp-admin/edit.php, so they would appear to match.

    No error message that is apparent. I just tried it in IE and I can’t get into “manage” at ALL.

    “I just tried it in IE and I can’t get into “manage” at ALL.”

    Scratch that, I can now. Weird it couldn’t have anything to do with file permissions at all?

  9. Blog Strokeson 08 Aug 2007 at 1:04 pm

    If you have .htaccess permissions set on your includes folder (as has been suggested by some recent security posts), it could. The Ajax is called through an http request, and if it can’t because of some setting, this will cause problems in you dashboard.

  10. Blog Strokeson 08 Aug 2007 at 1:28 pm

    Also try adding an .htaccess file to your /admin/ folder with this in it

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterInheritance Off
    </IfModule>

    no luck yet…

  12. Megon 08 Aug 2007 at 3:16 pm

    Yay

    It WAS a plugin! Updated to the latest version, and it’s now fixed! Thanks so much for all your help Dane. :)
