 * I upgraded to 2.1.2 last night, following the codex directions carefully (deactivating
   plugins, making backups etc). The site looked OK afterwards once all the plugins
   were reactivated. (www.sokwanele.com/thisiszimbabwe)
 * However:
 * I am unable to post properly in the admin side.
 * **Problem 1**
    I write a post, and when I try to save it or publish it I get 
   a dialogue box that says something like
 * > you’re trying to open post.php, do you want to save, use realpayer etc
 * It does not, as usual, reload after saving with a preview.
 * I discovered that although I wasn’t being given preview, when I pressed publish,
   it WAS publishing to my site. As a result I ended up with three duplicate posts
   because I kept trying to get it to work.
 * **Problem 2**
 * ‘Manage posts’ in the admin side, will not allow me to delete any of the duplicate
   entries. If I press delete, the post appears to delete, but when I refresh the
   page its right back there. None are taken off the front page.
 * We managed to resolve the duplicate entries by deleting them directly from the
   database, but we obviously cannot work like this.
 * How can we fix this as quickly as possible – its an active site and large audience
   and we need to post every day, sometimes more than once.
 * Should we put the old admin file back?

 * If you are under a large time constraint, please consider restoring your backups(
   files and database) to get your site working until you find a solution.
