WordPress 2.8 dashboard messed upl all plug ins disabled (2 posts)

    I upgraded a month ago to 2.8.6 for my site at www,hundredmountain.com and was posting fine to it and a subdomain at http://www.hundredmountain.com/westvirginiaville. I opened up both sites two days ago to find that my dashboard is now a mess, looking like a bulleted list running down the page (I cans still navigate in it but everything is all text now). And all my plug-ins turned off or gone with the message 'You do not appear to have any plugins available at this time.' The site on the web itself looks fine.

    The only change I made - and it was a couple weeks ago - was to add to the wp-config.php this following, related to the PowerPress podcast plug-in.

    define('POWERPRESS_PLAY_IMAGE', 'http://server.com/full/path/to/image.jpg');

    On my plug ins page, the folowing warnings are displaing:
    Warning: gzinflate() [function.gzinflate]: data error in /home/content/d/o/u/douglaseye/html/westvirginiaville/wp-includes/http.php on line 1788

    Warning: gzuncompress() [function.gzuncompress]: data error in /home/content/d/o/u/douglaseye/html/westvirginiaville/wp-includes/http.php on line 1793

    What happened and how do I get back to the dashboard I was using? I can't uninstall the Powerpres plug-in because it looks like all my plug-ins are gone. I used GoDaddy.com so should I go there and simply try and reinstall WordPress over the existing 2.8.6 installation? NOTE: The dashboard of another subdomain of my site using WordPress 2.6.2 works fine.

    Help! Douglas

    Try downloading a copy of WP 2.8.6, extracting the archive on your local machine and then using FTP to upload the wp-admin and wp-includes folders. Once the site is up and running again, upgrade to WP 2.9.
