Would you happen to have W3 Total Cache active before the upgrade? I’ve encountered a couple of cases where this broke the upgrade process.
In most cases it was resolved by removing all W3 Total Cache related files via FTP, completing the upgrade and then reinstalling W3 Total Cache.
Thank you, will try that now!
Ok I’ve tried purging the CloudFlare cache – no change
I’ve renamed the plugins folder to plugins.hold – no change
Tried different browsers, Safari and Opera – no luck with either
Deleted W3 Total Cache files via FTP – I get a php error message as follows:
W3 Total Cache Error: some files appear to be missing or out of place. Please re-install plugin or remove /home/santoria/public_html/wp-content/advanced-cache.php.W3 Total Cache Error: some files appear to be missing or out of place. Please re-install plugin or remove /home/santoria/public_html/wp-content/db.php.W3 Total Cache Error: some files appear to be missing or out of place. Please re-install plugin or remove /home/santoria/public_html/wp-content/object-cache.php.
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/santoria/public_html/wp-content/advanced-cache.php:23) in /home/santoria/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1179
Really drawing a blank on this one.
It seems not all W3 Total cache files were removed. Can you manually (via FTP or SSH) remove following files:
/home/santoria/public_html/wp-content/object-cache.php
/home/santoria/public_html/wp-content/advanced-cache.php
Ok, I deleted
/home/santoria/public_html/wp-content/object-cache.php
/home/santoria/public_html/wp-content/advanced-cache.php
Then I got another php error message about db.php so I copied that elsewhere then removed and voila, it worked. I was prompted to update the database and now I’m able to access the dashboard again.
