Try with WPAU instead.
Anyways, remember RC1 IS NOT stable version…
GoodLuck! 🙂
Thanks for the quick reply. However, due to I cannot access my admin panel due to:
Database Upgrade Required
Your WordPress database is out-of-date, and must be upgraded before you can continue.
The upgrade process may take a while, so please be patient.
So I can’t use the plugin. I am aware it’s not ‘stable’ as such but I’ve never had any issues with the previous beta 2.3 releases.
What version were you at before the upgrade to 2.3-RC1?
So you placed the 2.3-RC1 files, tried wp-admin/upgrade.php and then clicking on Database Update Required, and a white screen is displayed?
@doggieiscool – a reminder that you might consider joining the wp-testers email list to report, and keep current on, problems with test versions of WordPress.
The previous version was beta 3 and yes thats exactly what happened Michael.
Just loaded a 2.2 blog, upgraded to 2.3 beta3, uploaded the 2.3 RC1 and when I logged in, it displayed the “Database Update Required” link, it then presented the “Your WordPress database has been successfully upgraded!” and I got the admin screen.
Ok well this isn’t good. I tried via Firefox and got the white screen and via IE I get a “Page Cannot Be Displayed”.
Perhaps I should try uploading 2.2 and then upgrading to 2.3RC?
Ok well I downgraded, upgraded and worked. But attempting to upgrade to the RC failed as the same thing happened.
So I’ve tried going back to 2.3 Beta 3 and I’ve got a working Admin panel. Yet I can’t use the RC? This is very confusing.
What theme are you using?
Simple Grey. Surely a theme isn’t to blame as to why I cannot upgrade correctly to the RC ?
Sorry to post again but I’ve even tried from scratch, I had a recent database backup, deleted everything, installed, imported the database and then it came to the upgrade page again, i clicked update and blank page. :\
I’m not sure if thats similar. I’ve used/upgraded to every version included the 3 previous betas before this RC without fail. But thanks for the suggestion.
Oh okay. No problem, just when things like this happen, it’s usually only because of a few specific reasons. You hard cleared cache right?
You deleted all the files in the wp-admin/ folder only, and re-uploaded all those files and such correct? Evidently you did “Sorry to post again but I’ve even tried from scratch”
Uhh, maybe it’s already upgraded? Can you access the wp-admin/ panel as normal login? Just asking these things and such, to see where you’re able to go, or what you did for sure and such.
That’s my problem, I cannot access the admin panel without it asking to upgrade the database, and each time I click to update my database it goes blank or no page displayed. Now as we speak my site won’t load at all. Argh.
