WordPress 2.8 Admin Problems
You upgraded to WordPress 2.8 and you’ve hit problems within the Administration area. These could include:
- Buttons missing
- Image upload or insertion problems
- Blank admin pages
- The dreaded Error 500 page
The most common culprits are plugins.
Many older plugins simply aren’t compatible with WordPress 2.8. So try deactivating all of your plugins and check to see if this resolves the problem. If it does, activate the plugins one by one – checking the problem areas after each re-activation – until you find the problematic plugin(s).
If you can’t deactivate your plugins via the WordPress Administration area, deactivate all plugins by using FTP, or your host’s control panel, to rename your wp-content/plugins folder to wp-content/plugins-hold then create an empty wp-content/plugins folder. Once you’ve logged in to your WordPress administration menus, use the same method to delete the empty plugins folder and rename plugins-hold back to plugins. As above, activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
If you’ve deactivated all plugins and you’re still having image problems, see Inserting Images Crashes Firefox.
