From what version did you upgrade?
To be on the safe side, go into your web hosting account’s dashboard/cpanel and backup (export) your WordPress SQL file (this contains the heart and soul of your WP site, all pages, posts, comments, settings, etc.
Did you attempt to update the permalink structure at any time recently?
Jonimueller,
I use to have the 2.8.x version. I did go to my webhosting account and updated to mysql 5 and did a backup as well like you recommended.
I did not update the permalink structure at all.
Please help! 🙂
You must have fixed it somehow. I can see it just fine from here (Houston, Texas, T-1 line, behind a corporate firewall).
🙂
Jonimueller,
Can you see the side bar on the right (it has the sections About Me, Advertisement, Facebook, Recent Posts, etc.)?
Sure can. Do you want a screendump?
Sure Jonimueller, I would love that. But still I’m unable to update, I will try again.
Are you using WP-Cache or Super Cache plugins? You may need to flush those caches to see changes to your blog. Clearing out your browser cache (Firehog is NOTORIOUS for this), and also don’t forget this trick on a Windows PC:
Start > Run >
ipconfig /flushdns
HTH.

No, but I am using these plugins:
Akismet
Exec-PHP
Limit Posts
Sociable
Subscribe To Comments
WP-PageNavi
I had that problem (editing that particular post) for a few weeks now. I use to disactivate some plugins, and it would work. But lately even if I disactivate all plugins (all but Exec-Php) I cannot update my important post anymore 🙂
I think it’s a php problem with 1and1.com.
I wrote the following in my .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Options All -Indexes
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
# END WordPress
And now it works, no more Error 500.
But I have another problem now… My Exec-PHP plugin is not working 🙁
Great advice.
This got me on the right track. I was having the same problem. It was all the .htaccess. But, I also found very valuable information in the Plugins setting’s page. Read it. It tells you exactly how to use the WP-Cache or Super Cache plugin. It also tells you the .htaccess bit and where to place it.
Thanks
Michael
