now i just tried uploading the new wordpress files in the hope that this would sort things out but now get this message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: timer_start() in /home/fhlinux208/t/mysite.net/user/htdocs/blog/wp-admin/upgrade.php on line 7
HELP
That sounds like a corrupted file or files not uploaded completely.
i uploaded the files from the wordpress site for 2.2.1 and uploaded them twice – the only folder I didn’t upload was the content folder
i couldn’t even deactivate the plugin before trying the upgrade as the blog stopped working as soon as I activated it!??!
Do i need to upload the content folder and if so, how do i get my custom theme back?!?
No, don’t touch the wp-content folder!
However, in the case of similar errors – chances are that the files were not uploaded correctly.
Files can get corrupted during the download, during the unzip, during the upload. I always suggest a fresh copy and try the upload again.
Oh, and deleteing a plugin via FTP should deactivate it.
still no luck – same error message – tried uploading the files 3 times now…
the problem with wp-cache is that is doesn’t fully deactivate when you merely delete the plugin directory
because
- it inserts
define('WP_CACHE', true); //Added by WP-Cache Manager into your wp-config.php
- it creates/changes wp-cache-config.php in wp-content
- it creates a symbolic link to advanced-cache.php in wp-content
you have to undo those changes manually…..
Is this the site/blog linked to your profile? I don’t see any errors…
i just replaced the config.php file with an older version from a previous backup and it worked fine – thank god for backups…
cheers for the replies
Good. Now you can tell I’ve never used that plugin 🙂
(can you mark this as resolved)
