    esmi: I understand you don’t want anyone rolling back for security reasons, but I had to. I couldn’t login to wordpress after my browser closed and I wasn’t about to play the guessing game with plugins nor was I going to be able to load a different theme as my working site would be broken.

    Also, I think the point of everyone posting on this post is to show the instability of 3.9.1 and to try as a group to find a common solution. The problems are widespread with 3.9.1. I personally experienced:
    – Could not access the image gallery to select the featured image post
    – Somehow, not sure how, but one of my theme php files was getting loaded into the header of the wordpress admin console. I knew this because a ‘pin it’ button showed up on my console. I traced it to a php file, commented out the html on that file, and saw the admin console html to see the commented out html
    – Whenever I would ‘save’ a post, I would end up at a blank page
    – The admin site became extremely unstable with blank pages intermittently and just random strangeness.
    – After I closed my browser, I could no longer login and I received a cookies error (cookies were on and had never been a problem before)

    So you see, this is a very unstable release. There is obviously something wrong with 3.9.1 based on all the comments here. I think it’s just crazy that everyone is told to: disable all plugins, change your theme, remove your entire site and see if that helps.

    I am not planning on upgrading now or in the near future because of this, I’m back down to a release of WP that is probably not as secure, but I’d rather that than not be able to post articles to my site.

    I hope the rest of the people on this thread find a solution. Good luck!

    I have shell access and had made a manual backup before updating. I just reverted to that by copying the files. Not the best way to do it, but I had nothing else I could do when the login just wouldn’t work. Once I copied the files, the wp admin interface was functional again.

    I wound up not being able to login after my browser closed and reopened. It gave me an error about cookies. No messages in the logs or in the browser console. I just gave up and applied my backup so that I could get my console back.

    I’m having the same problem. How do I downgrade to 3.9.0? I can’t disable all my plugins and switch the theme… this is a working website. 🙁 I’ve disabled the plugins that are not critical, but nothing.

    Ok, so my workaround is I added the above code to one of my other plugins where it’s registering post types. That works, but makes me nervous. Hopefully it won’t cause anything to go haywire. Fingers crossed!

    Well, this is odd. I see the directory wpcontent/wptouch-data/themes, but it’s empty. There is a bauhaus/default/functions.php in wpcontent/plugins/wptouch/themes directory.

    Editing and adding the above code there doesn’t do anything. This is so strange. Is there any debugging I can turn on to look at what messages come through when trying to save the theme general settings?
