Update causing loading popup screen in dashboard

    I updated a site from 3.0.1 to the current version (3.6.1) and since that has happened when you are in the dashboard and click anywhere – tabs, links, etc instead of the screen changing it goes to the loading screen before a window would pop up (blackish with a grey box and the loading bar) and it just sits there.

    If you type the web address directly into the navigation bar you can get where you need to go, or right click and open in a new window.

    For example if I want to get to the themes tab I have to type in http://www.nanospark.com/wp-admin/themes.php because clicking on the tab itself results in the loading screen.

    Any ideas?

    have you performed incremental upgrade?

    No unfortunately I did not, this was the first time I had ever encountered so many versions between updates and I didn’t even know that was an option. It was updated right from the wordpress dashboard.

    The codex I linkd in my previous reply states:

    Essential, it’s okay to skip one release, but never skip TWO when upgrading.

    Thanks, I should have checked before I hit the update. Looks like my option now is to restore the previous version and go through the incremental upgrade process.

    Although I have to ask even if it’ll make me sound idiotic…it says

    For example, if you plan on upgrading from 2.5 to 3.6.1, upgrade to 2.7 first, followed by 2.9, and finally 3.6.1. Essential, it’s okay to skip one release, but never skip TWO when upgrading.

    So I read that as skipping from 2.9 to 3.6.1 is okay but going from 3.0.1 to 3.6.1 would be an issue? Unless they’re just leaving out the additional versions to not have to write “and then 3.1 and then… and then… and then…”

    Am I just understanding that section wrong?

    Yes, that’s mine interpretation.
