Try re-uploading a fresh copy of wp-includes?
Tried that and now I just get a BLANK white screen.
Any ideas?
OK so I re-installed ALL the new files and now I have the same error I started with.
Is that from a fresh copy of WP 2.8 install files?
yes, sometimes a fresh copy can also have a bug. check this:

I am not sure about this error, but this is the code:
$data = $this->_weak_escape( $data );
so try removing space between ( and $
This should solve the issue
OK…So I installed an old version of wordpress in another area.
I NEED to get this working.
When I enter my database info from the OLD config file I get…
Error establishing a database connection
Can someone help me get this going?
Looks like you mis-typed something into your wp-config.php file. There’s also no guarantee that a WP 2.8 database will work effectively with an older version of WP.
I reinstalled everything and got wordpress to work.
Then when I enter the old database info I get nothing but a white screen.
I searched and can’t seent to find a correction for this.
Can anyone help please?
BTW…I have no plug-ins installed yet or any themes.
Then when I enter the old database info I get nothing but a white screen.
I would bet your old database (old install) was using a custom theme that is not in your new source code? Or, you didn’t disable all the plugins before you upgraded? Try disabling all plugins in your old database via phpMyAdmin…see the following video…

I tried that and still I have only a white screen.
Any other ideas?
BTW…I can now LOGIN to my admin and everything is there.
When viewing my site it is still white.
Best,

Try switching to the default theme.
THANK YOU!!!
That solved it!
I really wish wordpress would install a small warning on the auto-upgrade that said “besure to turn off all plug-ins before auto-upgrading”
Thank you again!
