I was shocked to hear that Earthlink doesn’t support WordPress beyond 2.0.4 – I’m having various problems with plugins and they track back to Earthlink and the way they handle granting permissions.
They suggested I run the autoinstall and then upgrade; anyone know if that will have any effect?
All I can do is complain, and threaten to move my client off EarthLink hosting. But it’s a big business disruption for a small office.
At any rate – thanks for sharing your experiences. It helps!
Don’t know if this helps, but the same thing happened to me after upgrading to 2.9 – a completely blank admin screen (though View Source showed me some stuff).
I had just uploaded & activated “WordPress Backup” by liquid – and with a friend’s help, I FTP’ed in and removed that plugin. Refreshed, problem solved.
Whew! Hope that helps, and good luck!
