I didn’t know WordPress could cause such a headache, but it did today. I got the white screen of death and was left with lots of admin side issues.
What happens is you can’t login, or, if you were previously logged in, you can’t mange plugins. All you can do is get a blank white screen. Even the WYSIWYG editor would not load.
I think what it had to do with automatically updating pugins in WordPress 2.6 I don’t know why, but it made WordPress very unhappy.
Lucky for me, I had all the plugins backed up and was able to delete all my plugin files and re-upload the old ones. Yes they are all begging to be upgraded again, but the blog is working and that’s much more important.
Thanks to Get Found Now for writing about the issue. Their article lead me to my own conclusion that worked.
