I just updated to WordPress version 3.2.1 and now I'm having all sorts of issues I've never had. These are the ones I've noticed so far:
- cannot edit permalinks
- cannot use quick edit
- cannot add post tags
- cannot add text links (unless I add them using html)
Help! I've tried logging out and logging back in, working on another browser...nothing is working.
If you're upgrading from an older version of WordPress, you may want to read Troubleshooting WordPress 3.1 - Master List and Troubleshooting WordPress 3.2 - Master List. There are known issues with older themes and plugins, and many of them have not been corrected by those developers.
Make sure you've tried...
- flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches.
- deactivating all plugins (yes, all) to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s). Don't forget the ones in mu-plugins. If you can't get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems. Also remember to deactivate any plugins in the mu-plugins folder. The easiest way is to rename that folder to mu-plugins-old
- switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems. If you can't log in to change themes, you can remove the theme folders via FTP so the only one is twentyeleven. That will force your site to use it.
- manually upgrading. When all else fails, download a fresh copy of the latest.zip file of 3.3 (top right on this page) to your computer, and use that to copy up. You may need to delete the wp-admin and wp-includes folders on your server. Read the Manual Update directions first!
