All right mate, I did as you said and the first option got me rid of the error. When I load up the blog, everything has changed charset from UTF-8 (I think this doesn’t have anything to do with my previous problem though, AFAIK WordPress usually likes to mess charsets up in the upgrades), and every blog post gets a 404 error (or rather, directs to the root of my domain which is what the host set it to do in case of 404) when I click on the title.
You can see the result here. But since the dashboard and blog in general seems to be working at least better than before, I’d try to find answers to the new errors in forums. As long as there’s nothing more to do about the widgets thing?
Thanks a lot man, I never would’ve figured this out.
Sorry for spamming posts now, but I thought I’d just update the thread as I go along so that anyone else who might sometime encounter the same problem can solve it. I edited some stuff in my wp-config.php, and if I change
$table_prefix = 'wp_';to$table_prefix = '';it does indeed make the blog work in with 2.5. Since “wp_” is apparently the prefix I’m using for my blog, when I change back I get the error again.But clearly, somethings f’d up in the database. Next step? Thank you for your time in this, hakre.
So I’ve downloaded 2.5 again as both .zip and .tar-gz from wordpress.org and checked the MD5’s of all the widgets.php files I have, and they’re all identical. Total confusion!
How would I go about to reset the widget management through phpmyadmin?
I’ve seen several other posts on the forum without answers about the widgets.php files causing fatal errors. No developer that’s got a clue why this is happening…?
All right, I have tried uploading and replacing all of the 2.5 files again to no avail. Naturally, the 2.5 files were downloaded from here; wordpress.org (link). Created a MD5 checksum of my wp-admin/widgets.php here:

And here’s one from my wp-includes/widgets.php as well, just in case:

Anything else I can do? I tried deleting plugins and deleting themes, but nothing happens. Whatever file I try to access in my WordPress directory on the host gives me
Fatal error: Cannot unset string offsets in */wp-includes/widgets.php on line 340
Sigh.
What do you mean by line 45ff?
I do know how to work my way around phpmyadmin, but I have no clue what to look for. Since the database now is upgraded (and I don’t have an especially new backup *crouches for thrown stuff flying my way*) I’ll just have to solve it as it is. Will try to delete all the wordpress files later on when I’m on a stable and fast connection and upload them again.
