Are you starting with an empty public html folder? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Missing edit facility?!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-edit-facility/) * [dabum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dabum/) * (@dabum) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-edit-facility/#post-1567900) * NaeK, As I mentioned, I, as you put it, down-graded to 2.9.2. However, I did it through FantasticoDeluxe. The reason I think the means of “down-grading” is important is because the existing files are first deleted before the new ones are installed. I downloaded and saved my wp-contents folder and database as a precaution as I have modified my theme a bit and I didn’t want to take a chance of having to repeat that effort. Fortunately, I didn’t need it. The reason I think deleting the 3.0 files first is necessary is that there are numerous files that are unique to 3.0 that weren’t in 2.X. Hence, uploading the 2.X files and simply replacing the files of the same name would not get rid of the extra files. * It appears that the problem with the 3.0 installation is likely the auto-upgrade process and not the version itself. I have been involved in another thread on much the same topic and I received this post: * _DaBum, I installed it on a NEW site and it worked. But I have a friend who used the auto-upgrade, that’s the one that’s broken. My own main site…I’ve decided not to upgrade for now. I’ll wait for the glitches to be worked out._ * In any case, I will wait to upgrade until I feel certain that it will function properly. I hope this helps. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Upgrade from 2.7x to 3.0 – can no longer submit new, or edit existing posts…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-from-27x-to-30-can-no-longer-submit-new-or-edit-existing-posts/) * [dabum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dabum/) * (@dabum) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-from-27x-to-30-can-no-longer-submit-new-or-edit-existing-posts/#post-1567899) * amomandherblog, That’s really interesting. I was concerned that the newest version was messed up. It’s heartening to know that it is only the auto upgrade that doesn’t work. I didn’t want to think that the WP developers were not paying attention to the functionality of new releases. Like you I will wait for the glitches to be resolved. I’m sure that some of the plugins I’m using will eventually not be supported for 2.X.

Sorry WP team, I couldn’t wait any longer for a solution to this. As I have no intention of utilizing the multiple sites feature touted in 3.0 I saw no use in making myself miserable for another minute.

I still can’t create new posts or pages or edit existing ones. Still the same blank white page when attempting to create new or edit existing.

I updated files successfully and then I did the auto update to 3.0 and immediately was no longer able to edit anything. When I click edit on an existing post I get a blank page that no longer is trying to load the page. This also happens from the dashboard/posts list. Edit goes to a blank screen and quick edit simply doesn’t do anything. Even putting my site into maintenance mode doesn’t work. It reports that the settings have been saved but the site is still online. * Please WordPress developers, we need your attention and assistance. I have posted this issue in another thread but the only response was from esmi with suggestions that were appreciated but didn’t work. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Missing edit facility?!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-edit-facility/) * [dabum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dabum/) * (@dabum) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-edit-facility/#post-1567775) * I guess not. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Missing edit facility?!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-edit-facility/) * [dabum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dabum/) * (@dabum) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-edit-facility/#post-1567687) * I tried to put my site in maintenance mode. Everything seemed fine: “settings saved” but my site is still online. I was tempted to selectively replace some 3.0 files with 2.9.2 files, the last version I had before the problem started. But I figured it would be to risky since I’m simply guessing which files to replace combined with not being able to activate maintenance mode. Not sure what would happen. The site is up and reachable as it sits and I don’t know what they would get if the site was inoperable because of something I inadvertently do. I’d hate to simply be offline without a maintenance message. Any top dogs from WP reading these messages? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Missing edit facility?!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-edit-facility/) * [dabum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dabum/) * (@dabum) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-edit-facility/#post-1567670) * Is anyone reading these posts that are in a position to solve this problem?

Immediately after updating to 3.0 the edit pages were unavailable… just a white page with the indication that it was done loading. Anybody??… Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total)
