I figured it out, more or less. I had over 100,000 rows of garbage in the options table. Eventually I figured out how to write an SQL query that got rid of a large number of them:
DELETE FROM[database name and table name] WHEREoption_id>10000
ANDoption_nameLIKE ‘displayed_galleries_%’;`The rest I was able to delete in smaller groups to be sure I wasn’t deleting something needed. Still not sure, but the site seems to be functioning. I also rolled back to version 1.9.13. Overall, the site is working much, much faster.
This will be the last NextGen I use. Too many sites broken by v 2.x and too much time spent fixing. Enough.
So glad I found this thread. Same problem on one of my sites. Thanks for posting, anikovillalba and simondk.
Could you elaborate on what and how you removed the bad bits from the database? I have Cpanel access, but don’t feel confident tinkering directly with the database. But if that’s what it takes to get the site functioning normally again, so be it.
Thanks.
Just discovered plugin conflict with WP Featured Content Slider by Dennis Nissle, IWEBIX v 2.6
Rolling back to NextGEN v 1.9.13 solved it.Getting the same thing as well. Judging by scans over several wordpress sites, seems to have shown up within the last 12 hours.

In reply to: Upgrade to 3.2.1 – wp-admin login failed – memory problemI had a very similar problem just now with my upgrade to v 3.4. My admin just died, although the site still seemed to work. My specific error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 122880 bytes) in /public_html/wp-admin/menu.php on line 73I was set to try zbirkos’s solution, but thought I would just try increasing the memory allocation first. It worked. Added the following line to wp-config.php
// MY CUSTOM CODE increasing the memory limit allocation define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');Seems to work. Hope this helps someone else also.
Rotten Elf, I’m sure glad I found your post, especially before I installed/uninstalled 20 times.
I did the manual installation via cPanel, as suggested in the thread you referenced here http://wordpress.org/support/topic/you-do-not-have-sufficient-permissions-to-access-this-page-3?replies=9
*So far* everything is working fine.
Something to note, which may or may not have anything to do with it:
As I was creating the new database and database user through cpanel, I found a leftover user from previous installs. It had no associated database, but there it was floating around by itself. I deleted this fugitive user, and created a brand new one, associating the new user with the new database. Could this leftover user have been the culprit??Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Widgets disappear from admin after manual upgradeHyperlinked, thank you very much for posting. I was beginning to think I was bonkers, as the only one with this problem.
I did a phpinfo, and sure enough, zend.ze1_compatibility_mode is set to on. I will contact my host provider to change that, as I don’t feel qualified to tinker in php.ini.
I’ll post the results here (which I hope will be positive) so that it might help others.
TTYS

In reply to: Widgets disappear from admin after manual upgradeGood to know, thanks.
Funny you should ask about requirements. That’s what prompted this whole thing. I had one live blog at WP 2.9, another at 3.1.3. Separately 2 blogs under development at 3.1.3. Before upgrading to 3.2, I checked and learned that the server was still on PHP 4.4.8 and MySQL 4.1.22. But everything was working just fine!
So I asked if we could upgrade the server, and they did. We’re now at PHP 5.2.11, and MySQL 5.0.88. After that upgrade, I went to upgrade all the WordPress blogs and it’s just been one headache after another. The other live blog has the looping login issue which I’m also trying to troubleshoot. That’s the only one I didn’t upgrade to 3.2.
My brain hurts.

In reply to: Widgets disappear from admin after manual upgradeThe server people are looking into it. They said they’ve never run into this before.
In the meantime, I tried a test – rolled back to version 3.1.4, manually on one of the blogs.
On home page, got the following fatal error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_multi_author() in wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/functions.php on line 583
Oops, probably should have reverted to old theme before rolling back to older WP version.Went to log in, it said database update required. OK. At log in, it claimed password was wrong. Had to reset. But would it remember it more than once? So far, so good, and haven’t had to reset password.
And widgets work. So everything seems back to normal, SO FAR, using V 3.1.4. Was it 3.2.1 that was the problem then? And why?
I’m a little skittish to upgrade just now. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! I’m wondering if I should roll the all back to v 3.1.4.

In reply to: Widgets disappear from admin after manual upgradeI tried deactivating the plugins, but no change.
The upgrade installation was done manually on some, and automatically on other blogs. They all have the same problem.
I’m starting to wonder if it might be server specific. But why the widgets? They seem to be the only thing affected.
Anyone have any ideas?

In reply to: Widgets disappear from admin after manual upgradeYes, I’ve tried most of those things.
I”m developing several wordpress blogs, all on the same webhost server. Everyone that I’ve upgraded has this problem, whether it was going from 2.8 directly to 3.2.1, or from 3.1.3 to 3.2.1.
I just tried another test install and upgrade, completely from scratch. The install script that comes with the webhost installs verion 2.8. Then check that widgets are there, yes, and plugins deactivated. Immediately thereafter, I auto upgrade to v 3.2.1. And going back to the widgets admin reveals they are now gone from the admin.
The widgets exist on the live blog, but they are completely missing from the admin.
Changing to a newer default theme does nothing.
I did not add or activate any plugins in this test run. Not sure if it would change anything, but I will try resetting the plugins folder as you suggest.
Thanks

In reply to: Widgets disappear from admin after manual upgradeI should also add that switching to the new default 2011 theme doesn’t bring the widgets back in the admin. Still missing.

In reply to: Unable to change file permissions for manual upgrade to 3.2.1Hi Govpatel,
My host provider did something on the server that I can now do a manual install. I don’t know what, but I can delete and overwrite now.
Yes, the original installation was some kind of an automatic installation. Would that have had something to do with it?
The upgrade has presented a new problem, however. My widgets are gone in the admin. Sigh. I will search and post. This upgrade has been very bumpy so far.
Thanks again.

In reply to: Unable to change file permissions for manual upgrade to 3.2.1The wp folder itself is 777
wp-content folder is 755
upgrade folder (inside the wp-content) is 755
(the wordpress-3.tmp thru wordpress-33.tmp files, representing my 4 attempts at doing the auto upgrade, are 644, can’t delete them either.)Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Upgrading from 2.9.2 to 3.2 after PHP & MySQL upgradeThanks, Samuel,
The whole upgrade went very well. That blog now has the latest and greatest.
Oddly enough, it’s a WP blog v 3.1.3 on the same server that’s having the stalling problem in the automatic upgrade. But I will search for answers and post that problem under a new topic.
Thanks again!
