3.1 Beta 2 upgrade, now I can't log in

    Pardon me if this is the wrong forum. Where should I post this request, if not here?

    Within a working stable 3.0.4 installation, I installed the Beta Tester Plugin, set it for “Bleeding Edge” and upgraded. Within WordPress, it indicated that update was successful. But when I clicked on Dashboard, I get this:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’, expecting T_VARIABLE or ‘$’ in /home/content/w/h/e/wheat395/html/wordpress/wp-includes/class-wp-admin-bar.php on line 160

    Now I get the same error if I close the browser and go back to my login page

    http://wheatwilliams.com/wordpress/wp-login.php

    As you can guess, the WordPress blog is not at the root of my Web hosting directory. Is that related to the problem?

    Can I fix this by easily editing a string? How do I go about this?

    Thanks, Otto. I changed the string in

    wordpress/wp-includes/class-wp-admin-bar.php

    back to what it was originally.

    I went into my GoDaddy hosting control and changed from php 4 to php 5.

    Everything seems to work correctly now.

    I’ve just gone through this problem on two test sites(not being able to login to my website after upgrading to WP 3.1 RC2) and there is a quicker way to deactivate all your plugins than renaming/deleting all plugins – just rename the plugins folder to something like /plugins-x.

    This gives you login access to you site and you can apply the latest build of WP 3.1 RC2 and you will get a list of all de-activated plugins.

    You will now be able to create a new /plugin folder and drag each plugin from /plugin-x over to test.

    Cheers

    Will
