A few days ago, I tried to get my blog’s WordPress upgrade done plus some upgrades to plugins. Well, after a lot of frustration and another friend who blogs trying to help me. We discovered that the newest version of WordPress has a major flaw. After installation, WordPress admin will not allow you to sign in. This is a pain in the tush!

I went to the WordPress Support Forum and found that since the release of 2.6, there were pages and pages of complaints. I would have thought that WordPress would have released a message warning people to not do the upgrade till they fixed their problems.

I am grateful that my friend had made a backup copy of the previous version 2.5.1. We were able to reinstall the previous version otherwise I would not be able to write on my blog. So if you see another blog that has an error code and their blog is not appearing, the problem is more than likely version 2.6 was installed and no back up made and has “locked” the blogger out.

One blogger on the forum suggested uninstalling WordPress and installing 2.6. I have a problem with doing that, it is too risky removing the entire WordPress. Could possibly lose archived post, plugins, etc. Too much time and work would be lost if you mess up.

So for now, I will wait and watch the forum to see if WordPress Support post when the issue is resolved. Then I will do the upgrade.
