Can’t install any plugins
-
WordPress 2.7 installed and running fine for months. Have often installed and upgraded plugins using the automatic system, no problems.
Today, when alerted that I needed to update a plugin (Akismet), in the spot where it would normally say Plugin Reactivated Successfully, it instead showed a part of a generic error page.
After this happened, my Plugins page became inaccessible. I tried deleting Akismet, didn’t help. Then I tried deleting ALL of my plugins. That worked, and the Plugins (plugins.php) page reappeared, and all plugins were automatically deactivated.
However, now, if I manually re-upload any plugin to the wp-content/plugins folder — even the default Hello Dolly — the Plugin page returns the error again. I cannot access it to activate any plugins at all.
It seems amazing that an automatic update of a standard plugin would cause such catastrophic failure?
