Need BlankScreen help for 2.6 upgrade in IPower (8 posts)

    Hey guys,

    I've looked through the other potential solutions to this, but I haven't been able to find anything that works. My entire blog is blank, the install page, the admin page, the blog itself, its all cooked and I am terrified lol. I tried to remove the blank from the end of WP-config and that didn't work. I also tried to adjust the php allocated memory but couldn't figure out where in the file to do it. I really need some help with this, is my only option to go back to the last version of WordPress?

    Increasing memory allocated to PHP

    I hope it helps. What I know is that with this last version of WPress I installed it now on four different hosting servers and in none of them I have it working! uh!

    I can update the PHP file for WordPress, but its the php.ini file for IPower that I'm having trouble with. What's the line for increasing file allocation there?

    I checked the file and output buffering is off in php.ini which is what limits it to 4KB, so I don't think the memory allocation is the issue.

    How many people have to encounter this problem before it's fixed? I'm currently uploading 2.3.3 - hopefully that will work!

    I updated. Everything looks fine on the frontpage but nothing shows in any of the pages, archives, etc... IT JUST SAYS "NOT FOUND"

    This is for all themes I tried. I deactivate all plugins without any luck.

    My site is at http://www.7milesdown.com if anyone wants to try and help me fix this issue.

    Well, I've been messing around with 2.5, 2.5.1 and the just released 2.6, and no matter what I do, when I try to install any of them, I get the same blank screen and the same PHP error from /wp-admin/includes/media.php.

    However, I noticed 2.3.3 and earlier didn't have this file, so I decided to try installing it. Voila! It works!

    So I was obviously installing it correctly, but there is clearly a serious bug in the code of /wp-admin/includes/media.php (from WordPress 2.5 upwards).

    As this file relates to the new admin interface, it explains why some people are getting blank admin screens after upgrading to 2.5 and later, while other people (like me) simply can't install it in the first place.

    I am going to need some very serious convincing that this bug has been fixed before I even consider "upgrading" to a newer WordPress version.

    I believe I have the solution to this issue. Unlike other php aps I've used, WordPress 2.5.x upwards seems to require UNIX carriage returns. Hence, if you edit a file on your PC or your Mac, it will have a Mac or PC style carriage return in the file, and this will completely break it.

    The only way I've found to solve this issue is to use a text editor (like TexEdit Plus on the Mac) which allows you to convert all the carriage returns back to UNIX carriage returns when you've finished editing.

    Note that when I first encountered this issue, I could not install WordPress 2.5.x upwards at all. However, since I figured this out, I've been able to run my blog for 2 months now without a single blank screen.
