 * I seem to have upgraded to 1.5 with minimal hiccups.
 * Unfortunately, the 2 biggest problems I have right now are as follows:
 * 1) I keep getting these scrambled codes in my blog ([http://www.shaicoggins.com/](http://www.shaicoggins.com/)):
 * `Warning: main(/home/shaicogg/www/www/wp-comments.php): failed to open stream:
   No such file or directory in /home/shaicogg/www/www/index.php on line 72`
 * 2) I can’t get any of my non-standard plugins to work (MTBlacklist, Pictpress,
   etc.). I already deactivated them. But, every time I tried to re-activate, I 
   get these types of errors:
 * `Warning: main(/home/shaicogg/www/www/wp-content/pluginsthreestrikes.php): failed
   to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/shaicogg/www/www/wp-settings.
   php on line 115`
 * `Warning: main(): Failed opening '/home/shaicogg/www/www/wp-content/pluginsthreestrikes.
   php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/shaicogg/www/
   www/wp-settings.php on line 115`
 * `Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output 
   started at /home/shaicogg/www/www/wp-settings.php:115) in /home/shaicogg/www/
   www/wp-admin/admin.php on line 6`
 * Please HELP! Thanks!

 * I’d be willing to bet it has something to do with that extra www/ directory. 
   Check your WP configuration and make sure your absolute path is correct for the
   system you’re on.

 * Thanks for your quick reply. Actually, yes, I believe the absolute path is correct.

 * OK. I managed to fix Problem #1. I had to re-upload the old wp-comments.php to
   get rid of the error. However, now I can’t get the comments to work! 🙁
 * I’m still having problems with getting my plugins to work as well.
 * Argh. I hate it when this happens. :p
 * Please don’t make me give up WordPress. If I don’t get to sort this out, I might
   just have to.

 * Did you properly upgrade your v1.2.x template to a v1.5 theme by either following
   the upgrade instructions here:
    [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/)
 * or here:

 * Comments no longer use wp-comments.php, they use comments.php. Again, see the
   above two links.

 * “Headers already sent” is a very common error — usually the culprit is a space
   or return before the opening php tag <?php or after the closing ?> tag. Check
   the `pluginthreestrikes.php` file for this.

 * Thanks, NuclearMoose. I checked but there doesn’t seem to be any spaces.

 * Again, thanks NuclearMoose. I checked the plugins for spaces and they did have
   spaces after the code. I fixed it but the errors are still coming up.

 * Shai,
    Clear your cache and have another look at your site. I don’t see any error
   messages at all. 🙂

 * [b]macmanx:[/b] Thanks! I sorted the comments problem now.
 * Now, if only I can get my plugins to work again…
 * [b]NuclearMoose: [/b] I only get the plugin errors in my admin pages. I kept 
   getting these error messages right on top of my admin pages whenever I try to
   activate my plugins. :< Any other ideas? Thanks!

 * My wp-settings.php has at line 115:
    ` include_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-content/plugins/'.
   $plugin);  In your error message the ‘/’ after ‘plugins’ is missing… Is your 
   wp-settings.php file correct?
 * If you want to keep using PictPress with WP 1.5, you will have to upgrade to 
   the version at [http://svn.wp-plugins.org/pictpress/trunk/pictpress.zip](http://svn.wp-plugins.org/pictpress/trunk/pictpress.zip),
   which has been updated to work with the new version.

 * Thanks, Curioso. You’re always a terrific help. I love PictPress and I wish to
   keep it. I’ll give the updated version a go.

 * Hi Curioso. I upgraded to the latest PictPress version and I’m afraid it still
   isn’t working. 🙁

 * You have PictPress installed at /home/shaicogg/www/www/pictpress, while PictPress
   expects to be installed in the WordPress wp-content/plugins directory. Therefore
   it cannot find the wp-config.php file that it needs.

 * I moved the folder to the plugins directory now but I’m still getting errors.
   I’m just about ready to give up on this, I’m afraid. 🙁
