Try:
– updating your permalinks by choosing the default permalink structure or re-saving your current structure at Settings > Permalinks in your admin panel. WordPress will rebuild the .htaccess file. If WordPress cannot automatically edit the .htaccess file, it will provide manual instructions after saving.
– Do a manual upgrade by using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
changed the Permalink Structure, no error, but did not help.
Followed the guide for manual upgrade. this did not help either.
Try putting WordPress in debug mode: http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Debug . And See what errors are displayed.
Check if the permissions are correct on files and folders: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions
try:
– renaming or deleting the .htaccess file by using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides. If you delete it make a backup first.
Are you using any cache plugins?
ok i turned on debugging, and right on the main page of the dashboard i see this
Warning: include(/homepages/7/d373872834/htdocs/thecrazysteve/wp-content/advanced-cache.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/7/d373872834/htdocs/thecrazysteve/wp-settings.php on line 62
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/homepages/7/d373872834/htdocs/thecrazysteve/wp-content/advanced-cache.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php5') in /homepages/7/d373872834/htdocs/thecrazysteve/wp-settings.php on line 62
To my knowledge ive not used caching. im not familiar with what this is. Is cashing built into wordpress?
I looked and i dont have advanced-cache.php in that folder.
From the Warnings I think you have a cache plugin activated (wp-content/advanced-cache.php). Look under Plugins > Installed Plugins and try to deactivate it.

I dont have any cache plugins installed, and i dont have any plugins activated.
If you still have the same warnings try:
– changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Change it back to 755 if this solves the problem.

That did not work either. It may be related to this http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/faq/
ill dig through and check it out. I vaguely remember installing this a long time ago. Im not really sure why the references are there. or why this is all of a sudden an issue.
Ok i followed those instructions, and i deleted the rogue entrys for this plugin.
I no longer get cache errors, but i am still getting the 404 errors.
The thing that is weird is it seams like certain pages open up, completely missing the domain name.
i have 2 blogs, i went to delete a plugin on both. Looking at the source of that page.
the site that’s not working has an extra “/”
Broken Site
<input type="hidden" id="_wpnonce" name="_wpnonce" value="7dbcb5b883" /><input type="hidden" name="_wp_http_referer" value="//wp-admin/plugins.php?action=delete-selected&checked%5B0%5D=hello.php&plugin_status=inactive&paged=1&s&_wpnonce=7dbcb5b883" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" class="button" value="Yes, Delete these files" />
Working Site
<input type="hidden" name="_wp_http_referer" value="/wp-admin/plugins.php?action=delete-selected&checked%5B0%5D=wordbook%2Fwordbook.php&plugin_status=inactive&paged=1&s&_wpnonce=302407f8fa" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" class="button" value="Yes, Delete these files" />
Where would that extra “/” come from before /wp-admin/ and how can i get rid of it?
i also notice the extra “/” when im in the dashboard.
Look under Settings > General if the “WordPress address (URL)” or the “Site address (URL)” have a trailing slash.
it does, but its grayed out, and i cant change it.
Look in your wp-config.php for these lines:
define('WP_HOME','http://www.thecrazysteve.com/');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.thecrazysteve.com/');
Change them to without a trailing slash or remove these lines from your wp-config.php and change the urls under Settings > General.
That was the ticket!
Thanks for your help i removed the / at the end of both of those lines and it seems to be working fine now
