After a case of the “white screen of death” for both my administrator panel as well as the front end pages, I was able to get WordPress 3.0 installed. Sure, I had to delete all of the files in my httpdocs folder and upload everything clean, but now it’s working and that makes me happy.
WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious” has some awesome new features that I’m excited about and the video below will help illustrate them.
Glad to see you got everything squared away. I was worried that 3.0 blew up not only your site, but your computer and phone too. Tsk Tsk. I had no problem upgrading from RC on dev- but I’m hesitant to do it on my portfolio. I’ll start with my personal blog/journal, since no one reads it but me. ^_^
Whoa, sorry to hear that. Glad you got it back to normal. I upgraded to WP 3.0 recently, but I luckily didn’t have any trouble.
Have you tried the WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plug-in? I’ve been using it since I can remember and it makes the upgrade process extremely painless (for me anyway).
Hey, Jack. Good to hear from you! I think my WSOD issue was a weird fluke that most likely involved 1 or more of the plugins I use. I’ve been using the WordPress auto-updater since day 1 and it’s always worked wonders for me. It was really weird. Installing manually wasn’t so bad though. All I did was backup my themes, uploads and plugins and I was set. Clean, fresh 3.0 upgrade the slow way. Now I’m on the admin panel and I see that there’s a 3.0.1 update. Hopefully the auto-updater doesn’t bork me again.
