Upgrade, Fail

Well, here it is & almost another two months went by before I got another post in. What can I say? We moved into our new house, work has been super busy and stressful, the World Cup has landed in full force… and, while I’ve got plenty to say–this is just a quick post to apologize for the temporary site outage (if anyone noticed). I tried to upgrade both the core site to WordPress 3.0 and a bunch of Plugins at the same time, and that turned out to be a really bad idea. Of course, I know that’s a bad idea to try to push all of those things thru at once, but normally WordPress upgrades go pretty smoothly. This time, not so much.
After running, the page refreshed to the White Screen of Death. I was no longer able to pull up any pages, including admin pages. Not cool. After a few hours of Googling & debugging, I finally found the issue to be an incompatible plugin (Podcasting by TSG). I removed the plugin, and the site works again.
Just thought I’d let folks know in case any other WordPress users out there experience the same issue and are freaking out. If so, and it’s NOT an issue with the plugin I listed, here’s another post I found with an apparent solution I tried as well.
