 * Thanks for the tips, but the problem is still there.
    I checked, and all the 
   files have been copied.
 * The problem is that I uploaded the 2.8.3 without having turned off the widgets
   and plugins.
 * Now i copied again the default_widgets.php
    And since the problem should be with
   the widgets i deleted the old widget.php and replaced for the one with the 2.8.3
 * now the errors appear like these:
 * Warning: wp_maybe_load_widgets() [function.wp-maybe-load-widgets]: Unable to 
   access /home/t44241/public_html/wp-includes/default-widgets.php in /home/t44241/

   wp-includes/functions.php on line 2728
 * What can I do now?

 * What about if I replace the default_widgets.php with a blank one, like the original
   from install? Or someone send me this with the widgets off.
    Is that a good idea?

 * Hi again.
    Renamed the folder Plugin, but now the error message is this:
 * Fatal error: Class wp_widget_pages: Cannot inherit from undefined class wp_widget
   in /home/t44241/public_html/wp-includes/default-widgets.php on line 15
 * guess the problem is with the widgets, of course. hehehe
 * What can I do now?

 * Hi!
    Thanks for the tips! I did a little mess here, when upgrading my site. Looked
   for a solution in the link posted but couldn´t find.
 * The problem was: I forgot to deactivate the plugins and widgets.
    Now a lot of
   errors occurs and my site is offline.
 * Can it be solved, or i gotta clear it all, and reinstall from scratch?
 * Thanks again
